Scarey urges?
I have been a self- harmer since i was 13 (now 16) and i sometimes get weird urges to do something scarey to myself.

When i was 13, i got the urge to break my wrist. And i did.
When i was 14, i got the urge to take all my fingernails off, and i did.
Last year i got the urge to cut one of my fingers off. It didn't work but i have a scar from trying.

Last night i got an urge to make a cut on the whte part of my eye....

Would i be blind in one eye if i did this?
Additional Details
I'm not joking.
I never realised how bad this actually was.
I have an appointment with a psychietrist for my anxiety issues on monday.
I think i'll mention this to him.

Thankyou
Share and Enjoy!

but dont do it- you really might go blind.

wow, your urges aren't scary...they're disturbing

Cutting the white part of your eye wouldn't necessarily make you go blind, but it would depend on how deep you cut.
There is a fluid inside of your eye that helps your eyeball to keep its shape. If you cut deep enough, and the fluid gets out, the eye would deflate like a basketball that needs air, and you would lose the ability to see out of that eye.

You need serious help. Even if this question is just a sick joke, for you to think of something like this shows that you are a disturbed individual. Please seek help, and a tubal ligation so that you don't have kids some day and turn into Susan Smith.

Of course you would be blind in one eye, and probably eventually in both.

"Sympathetic ophthalmia: An autoimmune eye disease in which a penetrating injury to one eye produces inflammation in the uninjured eye. (The injured eye is termed the "exciting" eye while the uninjured one is the "sympathetic" eye.) The original eye injury always involves the uvea, specifically the ciliary body, releasing uveal pigment into the bloodstream. This triggers the formation of antibodies which cause inflammation of the uvea (uveitis) in the uninjured eye with gradually progressive loss of vision."

You seriously need therapy. Have your parents not tried to get help for you? If you can't talk to them, talk to a trusted relative or a teacher or counselor at school as soon as possible instead of just going ahead with your plan. Or else have someone take you to the emergency room for a psych evaluation. If it is attention you are starved for, that will get just as much attention as cutting your eye. Trust me, you don't want to be blind, and you do need to get well.

Scary thoughts are powered by mistakes in thinking called “cognitive errors.” As you begin to correct these cognitive errors, the scary thoughts start to run out of steam.

There is no need to abuse yourself. get a hateful abusive guy to do it for you!

At least he'll let you keep your eyes!

The more specific you can get with your scary thoughts, the easier it is to challenge them.

Oftentimes, thoughts are so subtle and rapid that we’re not fully aware of them.

This is so common that psychologists even have a term for these thoughts. They call them “automatic” thoughts. When you bring these “automatic thoughts” out into the open, it becomes very easy to challenge them.

At a social gathering you might think “I could panic and totally lose control!” Challenging the scary thought!

You've stopped yourself before!!
Stop yourself NOW!!!

There are three main cognitive errors that power scary thoughts:

1) “Overestimating risk”: overestimating the probability that a scary event will happen.

One of the best ways to pull the plug on scary thoughts is to ask yourself “What are the chances that (the scary thought) could actually happen?” A scary thought is powered by the belief that it is likely to happen. When you challenge that mistaken belief, the scary thought starts to run out of steam.

2) “Emotional reasoning”: believing that a scary event is more likely because you are anxious

3) “Catastrophizing”: believing that an event would be a catastrophe, when, in fact, it would only be an irritation or an inconvenience.

“Catastrophizing” often starts with “What if...” A very powerful way to challenge this is to respond by saying “So what!” Then, you can go on to ask yourself “So, what would happen then?”

Here’s another “cognitive error” that powers scary thoughts: the belief that a scary event is more likely because you feel anxious.

For example, when you’re calm, you know that a panic attack has zero chance of causing a heart attack.

But when you’re anxious, it can seem much more likely. This is a cognitive error called “emotional reasoning”.

In reality, when you’re anxious, the probability of panic causing a heart attack is still zero.

As you begin to practice “Mastering Panic” when you feel anxiety, you challenge this “emotional reasoning,” and the scary thoughts lose even more steam.

Try this...

You can learn to master panic by repeatedly challenging the scary thoughts – silently to yourself, out loud and in writing.

Here’s how to do this in writing: start a journal or notebook, and title it “Mastering Panic” or another title of your choice.

When you experience anxiety or panic, start a new page. Write the date, time and circumstance at the top of the page.

Then, create three columns down the page, with the third column the largest.

Title the first column “Sensations,” the second column “Scary Thoughts” and the third column “Challenge & Debunk!”

Don't try to solve a temporary problem (a scary urge) with a permanent solution (destroying your eye).

Ditto for suicide.

There is always a better solution, if you look for it!

God loves you, and so do I. Please get help!!!

That's not cute. What is it that drives someone like you to do things to yourself like that? I sometimes wonder about that because I have a son who is similar to that. He can everything going for him and yet he will screw it up somehow. He seems to have a death wish, like he moved out and moved in with his friend in another town. One day she found him unconscious across the street. They took him to the emergency room and he was there for a few days. But we have had so many emergency situations with him. It seems like some people are prone to things like that because either they don't feel loved enough or there really are no good friendships that they are involved with. Maybe you should try to find something alot more productive to do with your time. It seems like you are looking for sympathy, but that is one bad way to go about getting it. You could injure your vision for life if you tried to poke something into it like that. I think you should take your issues to the next level and try to find yourself a good therapist.

It wouldnt be pretty to look at somebody with a scar on there eye. You should worship your body as if it were a Holy temple. I would suggest that you see an expert on this subject. Talk to your parents and Im sure they can help you get to the bottom of why your feeling these urges. Take care of yourself and divert your emotions and feelings into something positive so you can make a difference in the world learn to focus your thoughts on somebody else not yourself.

I hope you are seeking psychiatric help with your disorder. Yes if you cut into your eye you risk blindness. Talk to a family member, doctor, social worker anyone who can help you right away! I really fear for your safety! You need immediate help.

Sweetie you need to seek immediate medical help. You should speak with a professional because no one on yahoo should be recommending that you cut your eye or giving you information about whether or not you may become blind. I can only hope this is an act for attention. If not you need to go to your local ER describe your very frightening thoughts and they can help get you the proper treatment. If anyone on here says anything remotely negative to you DO NOT listen to them ok. Talk to someone and I think with the right counseling and understanding you can be helped out of such gruesome thoughts of harm to your self. I 'm sorry to hear you are struggling with this but PLEASE get some help.

Your inability to maintain self-control, whether you experience urges or not, is a serious matter. These types of urges and actions can be minimized or eliminated for your own safety.

This would be an excellent time to see a psychiatrist.

OMG girl. You need to talk to a professional about these 'urges'. You know there is a solution to this. You don't have to feel this way the rest of your life. If you talk to a psychiatrist they can diagnose your problem, and help you control it. I hope you take my advice. Good luck.

It doesn't matter - don't try it and find out.

Young lady - talk to your parents or guardians - tell them you need to see a counselor. My sister in-law has a PhD in psychology and works mostly with teenagers - she's convinced me how important counseling is and how effective it can be.

You deserve a long, healthy life and there's nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to seeking help - that's what separates humans from other animals, our ability to reason, to make our lives better, to save ourselves.

Please, get help, stay positive - you don't want to continue hurting yourself.

Not only would you be blind, you could get an infection that could easily travel to your brain which is on the other side of your eyeball. I suggest you talk to any adult in your life and get some psychiatric help. This is an emotional illness that needs to be addressed before you do yourself mortal harm.
