Breaking my wrist, please read I'm not crazy xD?

So I was going to break my wrist this morning. My reason came from me struggling with school. I figure if I have a broken wrist, they might let me slip on a few things. Also, I wanted to get out of these games we're doing all month. I know this totally sounds crazy but I go to an Early College High School, so I'm constantly having homework and what not. I don't know, it just seems like the perfect solution xD Again! I'm not physco or something. It's not like I woke up this morning and was like, "Hey, I'm going to break my wrist today." I really think it might help with some stress. But I have a problem, I have guilt. I mean, I would actually break my wrist, not fake it, but I have a problem with lying. Would it be all that bad if I lied that I had actually inflicted my own pain, or should I just let it go and do it anyways. It's not like I'm craving attention, I just think it could relieve some problems I have. So I guess my question is, should I be guilty for doing that, or should I just go through with it and hope for the best? Thanks a bunch to the people who don't call me physco and actually answer it :p Thanks a bunch though, seriously!:)

Update:

Actually, if you type in, 'How to Break my Wrist" on google, then tons of results show up. So I'm obviously not the only person who has considered this. And no, sometimes the person isn't crazy, so g t f o.

    You do need help, despite you claiming you arent crazy. These ideas dont' enter a sane persons mind.

    Savannah, can I share my experience with you? I don't think you're crazy.

    Ten years ago, I broke my left wrist - both bones, all the way through - in a fall. The pain didn't let up for 8 weeks; I cried every morning I was in so much pain and so scared the bones wouldn't heal right. (It's a myth that once you're in a cast you're out of pain. That's only true sometimes.)

    Trying to do anything - like get dressed with one hand (zippers and buttons were a nightmare) and personal hygiene was very difficult. I couldn't fix my hair or open a jar of food or my makeup. After 8 weeks in a cast, I had to do physical therapy 3x a week for months so I would regain the movement and use of my hand. It was very, very difficult. And lonely.

    Last year, I broke my other arm and my wrist ... and although both eventually healed, the fractures triggered an incurable neurological disorder called RSD. It's terribly painful; your nervous system goes haywire. It can spread all over your body and put you in a wheelchair within a year. I was "lucky" - mine only spread to my hands and one foot.

    The reason I say all this is to share a little bit of what a broken bone can be like. There are many delicate bones in the hand, and a fracture means swelling that could lead to lifelong, painful arthritis.

    A friend of mine broke her wrist and it didn't set right (the doctor's fault, she thinks). Anyway, that was 15 years ago and she has to do exercises 2x a day for the rest of her life ... just to keep everything flexible and functioning.

    There are fractures, and then there's lifelong disability, and there's no guarantee which you'll have. If I can spare just one person the agony a fracture can cause, I'll answer this question every time someone posts it.

    I wish you the very best.

    I once wanted to break my wrist for all sorts of reasons, (and I am a wee bit mental and mostly just wanted to bash the **** out of myself with a hammer), and I did, and it didn't break, but it bruised and hurt. I obviously tried to fall over and break it, I tried everything, but it's really hard. Your body doesn't want to be broken, and will subconsciously do all it can. Just don't break your arm. You could smash the bone and hit an artery and bleed to death, or when you're older you could have arthritis in your wrist, which you don't want, you could break it severely by accident and need surgery and have scars, so many things are wrong with this.

    If you're struggling with homework, talk to someone about it. I mean if you're adamant about it and I can't change your mind, go for it, have fun, but honestly it's not a bright idea. It won't relieve stress, it's like self-harm, it's alright for a little bit then you realise you've just fucked your body over unnecessarily. Your school life (or life in general) might be stressful right now, but just ride it through with 2 working arms and you'll be fine :)

    It won't solve problems it'll make things a lot worse. A broken wrist is a serious ***** to heal. Your wrist never be the same after it gets broken once. Plus it probably won't even get you outta doing work these days they have voice to text. So you might end up doing poorly in school AND have a broken wrist. Just redirect all the effort you're spending trying to get out of school work into actually doing your school work and you will be fine.

    Regardless of you mental state... even if it works as a short term solution, you will still need to catch up on all the work you will miss, therefore doubling your stress a few months down the line...

    Another immature adolescent seeking attention.

    Why does this generation seem to be running away from personal responsibility??

    How much fun do you think it is for your parents to go to work every day to support the family??

    They have learned that hard work is needed in this world. Grow up!!

    I had severe upper-cross and thoracic outlet syndromes, mistakenly blamed a chiropractor for a herniated disc, 'perceivedly' blamed a chiropractor for a herniated disc, and was conspired against, lied to, deceived, victimized beyond belief, tortured, and persecuted beyond the level of the imagination and then a rabid devil got my "queen"

    a broken wrist will heal, sure. if you dislodge your atlas, knock your skull off of place, you literally wont have your head on straight and you will just be tortured, look even crazier than you already are, become crazier than you already are, and could lead to nothing but more pain and persecution for the rest of your life. dont ever deliberately harm yourself. that is bad and wrong will only lead to more bad in your life. so why take that risk? of course there is no benefit to hurting yourself

    for example, an honest misplaced little disc blame led to all of this 'truth-telling'...'theres no relief' 'how much were you charging him' 'I feel what I do for people now will bring rewards in the afterlife' 'he was giving him benefit' 'he was getting him relief' 'he did it to himself' 'hes lying' 'why would he take that risk' 'he didnt' hes delusional' 'I wasnt upset' 'he was doing his best' 'its not a conspiracy' 'he was getting him relief' 'its painless' 'there is no relief' 'its in his head' ' he needs to see a psychiatrist' 'its psychosomatic pain' 'his mind is persecuting itself' 'he did it to himself' and I didnt even do it to myself, the synagogue of Satan did. so you can imagine how crazy I am

    I am going to spend my time praying to God to take ME away from these unimaginably ill apes who do nothing but deny and nay-say Truth and impose their opposable thumbs in MY world
