HELP!!!!!!

My exboyfriend has broken my heart 3 times. He has no idea how much he's hurt me. Since he's done this I know do things I've never done before. I've written a lot of poems so deal with my pain and I have actually started cutting. I HATE IT. If my mom ever found out she'd probably send me away somewhere. I don't know where. Can someone please help me. How can I stop cutting?

its hard to forget but try, try to forget him and the way he hurt you. as for cutting, im guessing your a newbie. a few nicks on the side of your arm, nothing major... so just stop. its when you slice your arm so bad that it wont stop bleeding that you need to worry. trust me, i know

Hmm, how I stopped was I wear an elastic band around my wrist, and whenever I doubt myself or feel like doing something I shouldn't; I snap it. Another thing you can try as an alternative, you can get an ice cube and put it on your wrist. It cools it and is a sense of pain but doesn't really involve scarring. Tragically enough, the thing that made me stop cutting was cutting to the bone on the side of my wrist with a steak knife. It scared the pooh outta me, and trust me; you don't wanna go down that road. Hope you get better Darling.

i always learned to stop cutting by taking all my anger and putting it in a poem...you can read some of mine and it shows how i was feel and what i felt like doing but instead of actually cutting myself i made a story out of it which made me feel good i was able to be creative! it worked for me and i guarentee it'll work for you!
just find different ways to cope!

It's very hard to stop everything at once... Mayb an alternative that's less destructive? Like.. you could try squeezing ice cubes with ur fingers, and then slowly stop that.. I know it's still a form of self harm, but it's very hard to stop everything at once, get it?? :$ I did the squeezing thing, it really helped.. :)

Try www.recoveryourlife.com its one site that is actually useful. Try and stop whatever you do, scars arent pretty, and they last. Hope it helps, ~Beth~

I only stopped recently, because my fiancee told me if I didn't stop he would end our relationship. It scared me.
He also made me realise that you might only be hurting yourself on the outside, but a hell of a lot of people (your parents, close friends, family etc) will be in agony on the inside over you, and do you really want to be so selfish?

Seriously, if your bf keeps hurting you so much, show him how strong you are and end it, there is someone out there for you who will give up everything just to be with you, and he isn't that person.
