Please do something to ground.
Something to distract you.
Really, anything… When you get the urge to self harm, redirect your thinking.

Check in here, or read others entries. It might help. Sending hugs 
For me doing a fun activity with my kids usually distracts me.
What is your favorite thing to do? What makes you happy?
That’s the thing with my depression everything I do doesn’t make fun anymore so I don’t have hobbies or such

I understand.
I have dealt with SH for 20 years. I have tried many things too, and sometimes feel like nothing will help.
But distraction works best for me these days

At the very least, coming here and talking through how you’re feeling or what you’re thinking can buy you time to redirect

What is going on in your life that makes you want to SH in the first place? SH is definitely a symptom, and you need to work on the cause.

My family stresses me so much and I had many losts in my life and such stuff and often I think I am just a burden or not good enough

With family you need to think about setting boundaries and protecting those boundaries so they don’t cause so much stress to you. The not good enough feeling is something that you need to work on changing thought patterns. We are all worthy people, and deserve to be happy. What things can you do so you feel connected and satisfied?
