text: i damage my body but dont know why? i cut my self with a razor and i try to through up everything that i eat. i need some advice and dont tell me to go to a shrink. it sounds like a cry for attention, or that you feel bad on the inside, and have an urge to act it out on yourself on the outside. first off, i'd recommend not cutting. if you really need to do something like that, put your hand into a cup of ice, it's not gonna feel good, but it wont scar or cause permanent damage. second, you need to figure out why you dont feel good about yourself, and address it. what you're doing is a temporary solution to a problem that isnt going away. without going a lot deeper than that, its gonna be hard to get better without talking to a therapist. maybe you should talk to some of your close friends/ family/ guidance counseler about it.
