I'm a nice girl. I love to help people, and I will answer any question you ask to the best of my ability. Just so ya know...I have two babies (not kids, silly...dogs!) Sophie and Bruiser, and they are my life, so if you have any questions about dogs or anything, I got ya! I love to sing, I am planning a career out of it and I hope to someday be famous. If not for singing, for helping someone. I am very much in love, but I've been through the ringer when it comes to relationships, so I am fairly good at answering love related questions. But, I've found the guy I want to spend forevers with and I'm happy. Yup yup...looks like I'm done here.

I'm a cutter, and I have been for over a year.
I'm trying to stop. For the most part its working but I've slipped up now.
I have a very deep cut on my ankle, the spot on the outside where the anklebone juts out. I cut it over a week ago, and its just scabbed[lightly] today.
It has a pulsing feeling, and hurts like heck.
The cut is about an inch long, and fairly thick.
Is it going to be alright?
I can't go to a doctor, because I can't tell my parents. Also, Is there a way to stop the pain??? (link)

Well, first off...I completely understand your situation. I won't go into any details, because this is about you and not me. But trust me on this...I know all about it.
On the topic of trying to stop: Have you tried using rubberbands on your wrists that you snap against your skin when you have the urge to cut? It's worked before, and it's pretty effective with most cutters.
Now, as for the actual deep cut that you have...the cut could possibly need stiches. Which would mean that you would have to go to a doctor. But before you jump to that conclusion, put a lot of neosporin on it and keep it covered with a bandaid at all times, and don't forget to change them regularly. Wear pants so that your parents won't ask what it is. Take aspirin or tylenol for the pain. But if it is really bad pain and you can't take it anymore, you'll have to tell your parents because it could be serious. What I will tell you is my parents didn't react in the way you would think. They will most likely want to help you out of your situation and they should be understanding. And please try the rubberband thing if you haven't already.
Good Luck!

I have tried the rubberband thing... it just became another type of self abuse... I had horrible welts, and they broke open and bled.
I'm not havign a problem hiding it, I just have to wear socks, and its covered. I was wearing bandaids, but it kept bleeding until I uncovered it and it scabbed.
