Sleep deprivation, suicidal thoughts
I had gone through a physical abuse. For past 3 months. I can't sleep, eat, or do anything properly. I could type this msg after lot of efforts. My hands are not working. I tried to self harm several times.
I can't put into words how i feel. I talked to friends but still the pain doesn't go away
I feel my blood pressure is high, i feel very hot, suddenly i sweat a lot in few minutes. I want to cry all day long but nothing seems to work. I don't know what to do.

Hi,
You're strong for having endured abuse, yet being able to reach out for help. Pat yourself on the back for this.
I disagree with the opinions presented above. To the best of my understanding, what you're going through is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It is common for people who have suffered abuse to keep suffering after the abuser is out of their life. It seems to me that you have some anxiety symptoms, which is a common comorbidity in PTSD.
I find art to be a powerful tool when dealing with past trauma. I provide Art-based Therapy, feel free to connect with me on this.
Next Steps
Your condition is grave, and I suggest you start therapy as soon as possible.
Health Tips
It is most important to find someone who makes you feel comfortable. Your feeling of safety should be of utmost importance.

Here are a few suggestions that could be helpful :
Relationships undoubtedly enrich the quality of our lives. Nevertheless, it is primarily essential to ensure one's psychological and physical well being, just like how a strong foundation is that component of a building that is built first.
You cannot drive out darkness dealing with it face-to-face. But once you light a candle, darkness automatically disappears. When you begin to focus on what's calling for your attention and needs to be addressed within you, rest assured that you will be able to overcome the challenges you are dealing with right now.
Our attitude towards life in general and things in particular is based on our Beliefs - what we believe to be true about ourselves and the world.
What are your core beliefs about yourself and the world?
What are those beliefs on the basis of which you feel that you are not worthy enough to be deserving the right to lead the kind of life that you truly deserve to live ?
Try writing them down and examine the validity of these beliefs.
Some of them may be limiting and negative in nature because of some of the feedback you might have received in the past - at home, in school, from your classmates, friends, relatives, etc. But once you are aware of them, you shed light on them,examine their truth, they can no longer manipulate your behavior or actions. As your beliefs change, your attitude changes, and words, actions and behavior follow.
Ask yourself :
Where would I like to see myself ten years from now?
What should I do today to reach there ten years from now?
What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail?
What would I do if I weren't afraid?
No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can make them possible. A beautiful future awaits you. Take the first step. The rest will follow.
Take ownership of every moment, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success.
Please set aside time for exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy every time.
Our challenges that seem to threaten our very existence are the ones that serve as fuel for our evolution.
