hey, well... its a hard thing to stop. i know i did abotu a year ago. i stopped becuz i couldnt stand hiding it all the time. i told a few friends and they helped me thought it all. of course mine started becuz of my father and my ex boyfriend. but what helped me might not help you. you cut for a differnt reason then i did. but hunnie, seek help from someone. like you parents or a sibbling, go to somene at school. if you really are determined to stop i believe you can. you just have to be brave enough to let somone help you. If you need anythign else just let me know.

hey there,

Cutting is hard to stop but we all have the power to stop it. There is a thread posted on here and there are lists of things you can do other than cut because writing doesnt always help.

My advice to you at the moment: Throw away that blade you stole..just simply throw it away in the trash, out the window, just make it go away. Thats a start for now. Talk to a guidence councler or a good friend. I know it was hard for me to come to somebody with my problems but I knew I needed help.

Talk to me if you need to through a private message on here.

hey

i've been there done that. Cutting is very hard no doubt about it. There is so much you need to learn about self abuse to even understand why you are doing it. I am in S.A.F.E (self abuse finaly ends) and it has worked wounderful for me. I realized that I have 3 other things I do that they concider self harm as well so it was and is a real eye opener. I suggest that you find some information that spicifcly helps you with that one problem and work from there. The main thing to do right now is know your triggers that cause you to self harm and learn to lengthen the fuse from your trigger to the point that you self harm. the longer the fuse the more time you have to stop and think about what is bugging you. If there is anything else you wanna know or need just e-mail me or soemthing. hope that helped.

Yeah, when you want to cut distract yourself. Put yourself with people, so you can do it. Physical excerise can really help too, because it releases the same chemicals in your body that cutting does. Look at that list, other things to do than cutter, it's really helpful, and then find someone you feel comfortable talking to, someone outside of your normal life, conselors work really well, and then they can help you through or at least be there for talking to. Tellings friends is hard, because it can really effect their lives or they won't know how to deal with it and then you will feel giulty for hurting them. I know that is what happened to me, and it sucked. Best of luck hun! You can survive!

its an addiction and its so hard to give up i no that it is.ive already been on a couple of these topics and i am completely sickened by the things people say, most do it for attention. but i can see that you are being serious while doing it.
i am speaking from really awful experiences, i nearly died 2 years ago from cutting, i was sexually abused severely, i cut and went to hospital were i had a 25% off pulling through, does that scare you just a little? what about the fact that i was unconious for days, and my little sister had to have conselling, i hada to go to a nut house for a couple off months! im not being bitchy the way im saying this either, these are facts.theres a downside, and do you no what helped me, it wasnt the doctors or my family or anti depressants. my best friend emma..saved me. i just wish i coulda done the same for her! RIP!

anyway, this is the reality to the after math off serious self harm. i RUINED MY LIFE... PLEASE DONT LET YOURSELF DO THE SAME.

Cutting releases anphetamines.. it's your 'high' .. it's like being addicted to ciggaretes.. you need to find something else you can do to calm you down.. like poetry.. that was my way.
