Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
There's nothing any of us can tell you to do. You'll have to make that decision on your own. I cut myself and if it wasn't fro my family finding out I would probably still cut myself. It sucls becasue I really get the urge and sometimes and want to feel the pain of it and I just wanna do it, but I can't anymore or else I'll have to see a psychiatrist...which sucks because I know I'm not crazy. I know how you feel, don't worry. You're gonna have to find it withink yourself to stop if you really want to that bad...and, if you know other people who cut themselves or once did ask them for advice if you feel comfortable enough.
Good Luck. *hugs*

you really need to go to a doctor and tell your parents, you'd be suprised on how well they'd understand. go to a counclier and get on some anti depressants.. that may help! and i really hope that u get better and r happier.

i understand what ur saying. i have grown up with kids who cut themselves. they r my very dear friends and i dont want them to hurt themselves. parents would overreact and probably make u cut more. u need to find sum1 u trust and have them hellp you stop. u mite really hurt yourself. u could cut too deep and bleed to death.
another thing you could do is find something to occupy your hands when u cut like try reading a book or cooking. anything that will keep your hands busy. that has worked for a lot of people.
hope i helped!

Well you have to start somewhere.
If you don't one day you might go to far and It could end severly bad for you. Talk to a counselor or someone you can trust and ask for help. My friend is the same way she just started focusing it on trying to love herself again and her family and not being in the darkness and it worked out for her maybe it will for you too.
Focus your energy on something else when you get in the mood to cut I do it to and i'm addicted but I'm in counseling to stop.

Cutter:
I CHALLENGE you: I happened to stumble across an exotically refreshing novel entitled Cut. Please take some time and see what you might learn in the light of your situation. I was deeply moved. Furthermore, it would perhaps occupy some of your time in other ways than self-mutilation. You don't need to tell anyone, you really don't. You need to tell yourself: figure out what makes you need to cut, and if you can't that is when you need help. Find something else you can do that will not cause harm. Maybe even anti-depressants? Perscription (of course).

I know you may be terrified to do this but - you need to talk to your parents. If you can't face them with this problem and tell them whats going on then you may want to write a letter to them so that they can approach you about it when they are willing to accept whats going on in your life.
In the mean time, this will sound silly and unthinkable - but stop cutting. Easier said than done right? I know.
Get a notepad. Seriously. Just get one and make sure its all yours and safe and you can even personalize it and make it all your own. When you are upset or angry or frightened write it down in your book, write WHATEVER you feel like - swear scratch the pages, scribble, draw, write angry hateful poetry - just get the emotion out without shedding your own blood. AND (THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT) after each time you feel the need to go to your notebook and write about feeling depressed or angry or whatever, write 'But I am going to be okay, because I'm worth it.'
If you are going to use a notebook PROMISE that you will write that after each time you use it.
**I am going to be okay because I'm worth it**
And make that on a big piece of paper and put it up on the wall of your room and if someone asks why simply say - Motivation. Thats all they need to know.
If you ever need someone to talk to, someone who is going to reassure you when you are feeling your lowest - dont ever hesitate to call the childrens help phone. They operate 24 hours a day and there will always be someone there to talk to if you ever feel like you cant handle it anymore.
800-442-HOPE theres the number. There will be someone for you to talk to.
Tell yourself that cutting is not the way to make the pain go away - its only a temporary solution, you know that you dont want this. So please stop yourself. Find a way, find the power inside yourself to convince yourself you dont need to hurt yourself to make things better - you dont need to. Get a notebook and tell yourself its going to be okay.

This is pretty serious. I know you don't want to go to doctors or whatever, but you may have to. Tell someone you trust-a friend, teacher, religious leader...whomever you feel very comfortable talking to. It's dangerous and you could hurt yourself badly. Good luck and let me know how it works out-epic2004@charter.net. Bye!

I'm sorry to say this but if you want to stop, you have to consult your parents or atleast someone you know who can help you! Hope you choose the right choice!

You can't deal with this problem on your own. Most people cut becuse there is something wrong with their life, and theyuse the pain to help them escape.
You need to tell someone, even just a mate, so they can keep an eye on you. Get rid of any knives etc you own and have your mate hide any others, and watch you to see you don't cut. It will take a great amount of willpower. Next you need to try and find out why you do this, and try and make that better.
I would also suggest that you get a theripist, so s/he can help you.
That fact that you acknowlage you have a problem is good. Good Luck.

what i think that you should do is go to a program that can help you because i know when you cut yourself is like your getting rid of anger or stress and what i think you should do is go to a program where is many like you that cut them slef and they can help you stop cutting yourself

I would stop before you could seriously get hurt! If you are having trouble with your life then think about the good things in your life but about the bad like your family they love you and wouldnt want you to get hurt....... :)
