What now?

well, as far as I know, there are other ways to relieve pain. find one that you can use, and take it.

hey just believe that you can stop

cutting is like an addiction once you start it is hard to stop i know cause i am a cutter... so is my cuz and we are having a horrible time trying to stop we have a meeting scheduled with our counsiler at school to talk about it... and just to let you know that it will get better i thought that might life would just get worse beings that one of my teachers thought that i wanted to commit suicide all because 1. he found this poem that i wrote and read it and noticed that it was about suicide then he went and told the principal who came and talked to me and told me that i should go talk to the counsiler
2. my dad was being a huge jerk and i didnt know what to do so i started cutting and i just cant stop

so i recamend going and talking to a counsiler with your friends that are cutters the counsilar will help you and your friends to help eachother stop cutting... so good luck..

Whats so wrong with cutting? Everyone is like, ooh im trying to stop but why? There is nothing wrong with it it is just releasing emotions and stuff. And its incredibly hard to die from, and if u do uve got a hell of a lot of emotions to bleed away and are probably better off dead.

ok........... no. anyway, it is the right thing to stop but i dont know how to, if anyone has any advice on stopping cutting then let me know.....

Th urge to cut will probably stay with you for a long time. You have to have the courage and will not to do it. Over come those urges. You seem to be a strong person and I think that if you prove to your friends that you can stop, they can to. I wish you the best of luck.

I don't see how the fact that your friends cut would make you want to cut or make it harder for you to stop. I cut myself, but none of my friends do. And if they did, if I wanted to stop I would and if I wanted to keep doing it I would. I think that if you are effected by your friends cutting, then you a follower. Do what you want to do when you want to do it, not just because your friends do.

if you are able to stop cutting then you could help your friends stop cutting easier becuase you would have done it. and yes cutting is bad and you can die from it. it is better to find alternatives.

Well I wouldnt recommend a cutting party or anything. You all know its destructive and the best way that you can use each other is as a support group to stop. You all understand how hard it is, but you all know its bad. So rely on one another.

i lvoe the consequences of cutting.. but i mean if u dont wanna die than stop rite now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... my god i make no sense o well..... if ur not like croniclly depressed and wnana die than stop cutting bc its jsut to much a risk i mean im not gonna actually expect for u to stop cutting! cuz im jstu some kid telling u to stop which does shit... but well... remember how sad it wood b fro everyone if u did die... thats wuts kept me alive! so jsut take everyday slowly good luk!

im soryy i hope u feel better.... just idk... try and smile... if u no u dont wanna die b really careful wen u cut and stuff...
