ok well im 14/f and live in small town USA I have been SI'ing for like 4-5 years now and i really wanna stop i am really wating to get closer to God ad this is just holdig me back from living the life i want to. See i started becuse it felt good it feel something other than emotions? idk how to word it but my father was abusive i was never touched but i saw what he did to my sisters and my brother and well i dont know if that has anything to contribute to it. Now that Im away from him and have been for a while i relized i want to change. I dont know how so I guess thats what im asking. HOW CAN I CHANGE AND STOP SELF INJURING???? That includes cutting and stuff like that anything that causes me pain.

First of all im sorry about your abusive parent, ok now like the girl below me said God created us to live a life full of love and harmony and He doesnt want us to hurt ourselves. My best advice for you is to prey. Every time you get the urge or the feeling of hurting yourself prey, ask God to help you in prayer. Believe it He WILL help you if you ask Him to. But you have to believe He will cause remember He's always there to look out for us and to protect us. Also, since you mentioned you want to get closer to God preying will help you to do that as well. You could also try to attend a church and get involved this would help too. Allie Im here for you if you need anything and remember have faith my friend
God Bless You Always

P.S. If you have no idea of how to ask Gd for help you can just be like "God I dont want to do this anymore please help me my Lord" or something like that...though its better if you use your own words, words that come from your heart.
