ive been cutting myself for about two years. its not constant, in fact i stopped for about seix months, but lately ive kindof picked up where i left off and ive been cutting every few days now. i really really want to stop, but everytime i look it up online, i see things like "take a warm bath, go for a run, blahblahblah." and i really dont think that taking a bath or running is going to help me to stop cutting. i need ways on how to stop.
also, is there like an on-line couseling type of thing? where i could talk to a psychologist? i really dont want to tell my parents because they would be so dissappointed in me and wouldnt understand. but i just want someone professional to talk to. besides, i dont know if i could afford seeing a therapist.
please help me to stop cutting. (link)

I know how you feel, I have stopped cutting for about 4 months now, and I did relaspe once before, and my friends convinced me to tell my mom and she was there for me. I know you have probably heard this a billion times, but parents can surprise you. They may not completly understand, I honestly believe that unless you have cut you won't understand, but just try talking to them, explain to them why you have been cutting and what triggers it. Also if you told them you wouldn't have to pay for a psychologist, they would pay for you. Parents are there to help you.
Things that helped me when I had the urge to cut were calling a friend or hanging out with them, that usually took my mind off it. Your friends are there to help you too, they love you and will be there for you. You do have to remember that you won't fully stop until you are ready to stop for yourself. If there is another reason why you want to stop, try and figure that out and figure out how you can stop for yourself. I was deep into cutting and I know how it feels when you start up again after you've stopped. Have you gone onto To Write Love On Her Arms, it's a website dedicated to helping people who have cut. You should check it out, just to see all those people caring about you, it helped me a lot. Also listen to the song Hold On by Good Charlette. I hope I helped.
