advice

i think i have anger problems... yesterday, i got mad at my parents and i dug my nails into the palm of my left hand until it bled. now there is a huge chunk of skin out of my left hand. I am a cutter. I cut when i get depressed. any idea of what to do when i get mad other than drawing blood? i dont want to go see a doctor... because my parents dont think i have problems.

i used to dig my nails into my palms aswell, and eventually started cutting. this went on for nearly two years.

i found stress balls to be a big help. dig your nails into this instead of your own skin.

another one is pens or pencils. rather than cutting, try drawing on your skin where you'd like to cut, or pressing your pen into the paper until it breaks through.

i found it very relieving. i know it's dificult but i hope you can do the same. feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss it further, i always found speaking to other cutters to be a big help.

hugs and good luck
