Maybe just try to talk to some people and let them help you through it, and you'll get over it eventually. best wishes [ chelseaw285's advice column | Ask chelseaw285 A Question ]

united_python_cheerleader answered Monday July 12 2004, 5:12 pm: The only way you can stop is to just take the pain out on somehting else like take a piece of paper and write down what your feeling instead of cutting yourself
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Sunday July 11 2004, 2:24 am: I for one haven't ever cut, but I know people who have. So what I would do, is put a rubberband around your wrist and whenever you feel like cutting, snap it. Maybe that'll help you stop, and try not to think of things all the time that would make you want to cut. Go out and have fun! Good luck hun!

AtlBabyGirl1 answered Tuesday July 6 2004, 2:08 am: Dear Kele,
cutting is not a good thing. I have seen 2 people cut. I know what it does. It's a pain or pleasure for people so they will not feel the pain and presure surrounding them. But inorder to quit it you have to TALK TO your parents tell them u dont want to hurt urself no more. and u have to go to some kind of therapy inorder to stop. but try this keep a rubberband around ur wrist and everytime you feel like cutting just pop the rubberband, not pop as break just pop on ur wrist. E-mail me cause i want 2 c how u r doing thats if u want 2 take my advice my e-mail address is TweetyWife1@msn.com [ AtlBabyGirl1's advice column | Ask AtlBabyGirl1 A Question ]
lynx_wings answered Sunday July 4 2004, 4:58 am: Having been in a similar situation, I would advise you to talk to a therapist. I've managed to stop even thinking about cutting whenever I get sad, and I do go to therapy.
If you can't or really, really, really don't want to find a therapist, then here are some things that worked for me:
•Put yourself if situations where hiding your cuts could get awkward. This makes it uncomfortable enough that you'll think twice before cutting.
•Whenever you want to cut, try really hard not to. Distract yourself by reading, playing on the computer, or going to sleep if you can.
•Read up on cutting on the internet. Google around and you should find lots of stuff on it. Looking at your problem from a different perspective could help you see your cutting differently.
imhere2help answered Sunday July 4 2004, 2:32 am: You gotta go see a professional. or u can just stop instead of cutting yourself everyday do it only every other day, then go to once a week, then to once and month..etc its hard but pretty soon ull get used to not cutting. also when your angry dont get it out by cutting write in a journal. i hope these helped you..

lovinyouzzforeva! answered Saturday July 3 2004, 9:00 pm: Hey there, well, that's sort of not an option if you like it and want to stop, you could start by creating another habit that's simillar (my friend used to cut herself and she would use a rubber band and snap it *owie, but jus a lil* to get that slight pain satisfaction, I'm not a phycologist though, so I'm not sure, but u definitly hafta go c 1! <3 Alyssa [ lovinyouzzforeva!'s advice column | Ask lovinyouzzforeva!

XoTruebrunettExO answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:03 pm: i saw on this one show that everytime you feel like cutting have a rubberband on your hand and snap it.. that way instead of cutting your doing something that still might cause u a little pain but won't hurt you as much
Siren_Cytherea answered Saturday July 3 2004, 4:13 pm: You've gotta just force yourself. Every time you want to cut, go draw instead or something. It is an addiction, I've had friends in your situation. You've gotta fight the urges. It's just like forcing yourself to go on a diet, or whatever. Good luck
