Im an Alcoholic
All I wanna do is self harm. Just cut my name in my arm dont know what to do phoned the mental health crisis team they told me its because Im drunk and they wont do anything about it, my doctor wont do nothing they dont even wanna look at it. Im getting treated with contempt. Just as an alki is at hospital.
Ive had enough. Dont wanna die but I wanna cut myself.

Not sure what you are looking for here, but I'm sorry you're going through troubles.
Maybe there are a few simple things you need to do in order to convince the folks who can help you that you are serious. Maybe you need to stop drinking, leave your house, and go to the emergency room.

Not that I'm suggesting this is the right thing for everyone to do...but... When I had my first week of sobriety I wanted to harm myself too. As FI suggested, I went to the ER, told them I was suicidal, and earned myself a trip to a behavorial center. I know that might sound a little drastic, but looking back it was one of the best things I've done for my recovery. It got me some answers, it helped steer me down the right path.

Trip.....
because you are in the UK ....I don't know what is available
to you for emergency health care.
I do think you are in crisis mode and there is
most likely....a number to call in your phone book.
Here is a link to a self abuse board

Hi Trip, I am sorry you are feeling like this. I was looking at this website recently, perhaps it might help Self Injury and Self Harm, providing help & support on self harm, self injury.
I think your Doctor should be taking this seriously, could you ask to be referred to a Psychiatrist? I have depression and it is getting worse so I recently asked my GP to do that, he didn't really want to but ethically they should do if you push for it.
