Here-To-Help answered Wednesday December 8 2004, 4:03 pm:
I know how hard it is. I'm forced to stop cutting myself because my family now knows about it. You're just gonna have to force yourself, and channel your emotional pain so you WON'T want to feel phsyical pain. It's hard, but you'll be okay. If you really dont want anyone knowing about it, then you'll have to stop.

hey, i cut too. it's the worst thing u can do. i hate when people tell me to use the rubberband trick or putting ice where u wanna cut until its numb because for me it doesnt work. u culd try therapy or counselors at school but that doesnt always work. it didn't for me. if u have any real close friends or family members u can talk to or cry to or relate to that's been the best thing for me. it doesnt always help but u start to feel the weight lifted off ur shoulders from all the built up pain. i can't really tell u what definately helps tho because i still do it. sry =/ xo kelly

I think you *need* to tell someone, if you don't want to tell your parents, just tell some other adult you trust. Talking to a counselor would probably be a big help, too. I've heard of people holding ice cubes in their hands when they want to cut, or the rubber band thing.

xogiggles37xo answered Saturday August 7 2004, 5:03 pm:
ppl put rubberbands on their rist, so instead of cutting they pull on the rubberbands. its like a nervous habit. like u get nervous u pull on it. not really but the way ppl use it iz wen they think of cutting they pull and let go. its painful just like cutting but not az bad 4 u.

..alot of girls have done this.. yeah even i have. my advice :: tell a good friend who will understand and help you thru ..i promised two ppl i wuld never do it again and i havent.. also talkin with other ppl who have done this will help.. your not alone at all.. but this needs to stop.. cuttin urself only takes tha pain away for tha moment but wat happens wen your hurt again? are you guna keep cutting?.. why.. write ur thoughts down n a diary maybe.. if you trust ur parents tell them.. otherwise tell a trustin friend.. doin it will leave ugly scars and n the end you'll feel worse.. put watever you use away .. try n take ur mind off wats cossin this pain.. have a long talk with some one who understands you .. then go out n have some fun and relax .. you'll feel ten times better.. *aSh

PleaseHelpMe answered Saturday August 7 2004, 4:09 am:
Hey I am a cutter to and I am still trying to stop. The best thing would be to talk to your parnents about it and I know that is hard to do. You should try talking to people who have the same problem. And seeing a theripist helps. Try doing other things like taking a peice of paper and drawing your wrist then taking a knife and cutting the paper. There is a lot of things you can do instead of cutting. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP IM HERE!! JUST DROP ME ONE IN THE INBOX. MABYE YOU CAN HELP ME TOO. -Luv jenny

soccachick432 answered Saturday August 7 2004, 3:32 am:
cutting yourself means your depressed and your trying to get rid of those feelings by doing this. you should talk about your problems with someone maybe that person who you told about the cutting and they can tlk to you about your problems and when you think of cutting yourself do something you like , like a hobby or something or wear a rubberband and whenever you feel pain and you need to cut just snap the band

OKay lisen i can understand why you cut ya self...i mean my 2 sisters do sumtimes so i know and the way to handle this is before you do think of good times and dont think any bad things at all...if you ever wanna cut your self again think very carefully about what your doin ..One time i almost cut my self becasue of this boy..but i didnt becasue there are alot of other things in life that can be so much better then just wasting your time on that one thing...dont tell your parents till it gets really bad...wbut what i did i told my mom and she helped me out alot...so i hope i gave good advie..if ya ever need me Box me in..

i need help...

I definitly think that you should QUIT. I use to do that to and trust me you want to stop...if someone tells on you like someone told on me you will get thrown into an institution with padded walls and will stay there for about a week. i Know you have problems but there are better ways to deal with them. Tell SOmeone and STOP. plese! keep me in touch...thanks...If you need more advice e-mail me at big_blake08 or at me at yahoo under the user name big_blake08...

P.S willing to help anytime...

it is hard to stop doing it,trust me. but if you have someone that you know that you can really trust nd' tell about it, then it might help you to stop if you just talk to someone you trust.That worked for my friend...i dont personally think the rubberband idea works all that well but differant people prefer differant things..

Once you start its hard to stop. You need to get help before it gets any worse. It will only get worse from here if you don't stop it now. I agree with your friend. You should tell a parent or an adult you trust for help.

SammyPie answered Saturday August 7 2004, 1:56 am:
I have had a lot of friends who do this. They cut themselves to make their hurt go away. And to make the real world around them disappear. To them, its just themselves and their knife. However, this may work in some respects in helping relieve the pain you feel emotionally at the moment, but think about how much pain it is causing you in the long run. You are putting scars on your body that could possibly remain their for the rest of your life... and you are also emotionally scarring yourself. There are other ways to protect yourself from the hurt in the world, and one way is to just accept the hurt and deal with it. Your life MAY be hard, I do believe it is, however, its not SO hard that you can't deal with it without cutting. If you feel like you are beyond the point of no return, and you can't STOP cutting, then you should tell someone you trust. Not someone your own age, but an adult you trust. Someone who can do something about it, like a counselor, or a family member, or a parent of one of your friends. Trust me on this one, getting help is the best way to go with this.

Love, Samantha. I hope this helped. Hang in there and keep your head high.

rockchik41 answered Saturday August 7 2004, 1:53 am:
the rubber band idea sounds pretty good...but you DO need to get help. there are counselors that you can go to, and if you don't want to tell your parents, tell another trustworthy person with a car and swear them to secrecy. they can drive you to counseling. you just have to know that, even though it seems like it does...cutting doesn't help anything.

You won't be able to stop yourself--you need support from someone. If you don't wanna tell your mom or dad, ask a close friend or another adult but you need to let someone know. Goodluck and im me at kissxme321 if u need anything else hun!

TheKnightOwl answered Saturday August 7 2004, 1:42 am:
I don't see how cutting yourself will make the pain go away. All it does is create more problems, think about it. You cut yourself, people start thinking you're suicidal, people start paying more attention to you, only this is the back kind of attention. So, you do it again, people start suspecting their might be something wrong with you mentally, you get thrown in the mental hospital. You lose people's trust, and when you get out, people are still giving you that negative attention. So you become tempted to do it again. I've seen too many friends go down this road, just stop. Its the best thing, just stop. Take your mind away from the pain by doing other things, sports, some type of recreational activity I'm sure that you're going through a tough time. If you don't keep a journal, start, write down all of the bad things that happen in your life. Get them down on paper, atleast it will help you vent. I'm rooting for you, good luck.
