This is hard to say.

Keep on doing this for Lola until you're strong enough to do this for yourself as well as her. You also have great worth as a human life.

I don't think I'm that awesome, but thanks!

Really really need to cut

You say you need to.

What would happen if you denied this desire?

Screaming? Crying? Pounding on things?
Talking with someone about how you feel?
Or what?

It isn't that you *need* to cut.
Wouldn't it be more useful to learn a way to live through feelings of
fear/anger/rage/helplessness etc....without harming
yourself or anyone else?

Alternative to self-harm--Busy your hands with something else. Pet the bunny rabbit. Hug your mom. Or your daughter. Put some favorite record on and lock everyone else out & enjoy the music. Go outside and find some corner under a stone that's got lots of bugs and woodlice and moss in it and look at the tiny bug civilization under there.

Get a pen & paper and write--Freewriting, not really grading yourself on the quality of it.

Do whatever is not destructive of yourself--that energy must be re-directed.

I've never harmed anyone else

Not directly.

There's no benefit to others when you
slice your skin, however. And if the action
were beneficial to you, it wouldn't be called
self harm.
