Q: I HAD a problem. since i was 12 i started cutting. I dont know how to explain it to people that dont do it becuase its something you have to have gone through to understand. its like a drug i was addicted for 4 1/2 years, slowly killing myself. anyway everyone found out and i had to stop.
the question is like what am i supposed to replace it with. Ive tryed running writing (which is my passion) and everything in between. I just need some good advice as how to stop.
Please help, anything will be appreciated.

I think what will really help you is to get to the source of why you started cutting in the first place, was it a family issue, something with your friends, etc. Since writing happens to be a passion of yours (mine as well) i suggest you write down what makes you feel the need to do it, i understand there is a dependency to this addiction but people normally tend to look for an addiction to something when they feel a certain element of their life isnt being fulfilled, what you need to do is look inside yourself and figure out what you feel is missing because if you dont confront it you will never truly be okay. Keep a journal of your thoughts and jot down anytime you feel you need to express something inside of you and re-read what you have written. Eventually it will become clear to you what you need in your life through your writing.
good luck anything else i can help with please send it to my inbox.

You've helped me alot.
I think your advice is great and i will see if it works. yeah it is caused from family problems that i havnt fully forgiven people for.
It IS an addiction and super hard to get over.
thanks for the advice & I'll keep you updated.

Hello there the names Brittni, I decided to make a site on advicenators because i wanted to help others with their struggles, its a passion of mine, i hope one day to achieve my dream of opening a center for teens. Let it be known that i will never judge you based on a question you ask, i will simply give you an answer i find fitting, but dont expect me to candy coat my answer, im going to be honest. In the past i have been faced with many difficult things and looking back i am confident i made the right decisions. I've been through a lot personally, i've heard a lot, I've seen a lot, I've grown a lot. Heck, i know im not perfect but im the best version of myself i can be which is perfection in my eyes. I know sometimes speaking to someone you know about your issue is hard, trust me i've been there. Just like i have helped others i am here to help you with the best intentions. So i am here for you if you need me.
never feel hesitant when asking me a question, leave me one in my inbox and i will get back to you as soon as possible.
