Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I have been/was a cutter for years. I know it's not an issue of just stopping. What happens when you cut is that your body releases endorphins (like natural heroin) which reduces stress levels almost immediately. Cutting also doesn't necessarily mean suicidal...though it can. I can tell you that medication does help. So does counseling. The two together are probably the best. Starting counseling can be VERY hard, but it may be the best step you can take. In the mean time, just make sure that both your skin & the cutting utensil are CLEAN! The last thing you want are horrible physical scars to match the emotional ones.

There is no way you can stop without confronting your parents first because if u talk to a counselor they will tell your parents believe me. So fess up to your parents and tell them so they can get you good help. Good Luck!!

maybe you can go to a school counclier and tell that what is going on. also inform them u want to get better, but you would like it to be kept from ur parents and friends knowing. they should respect that.
i really hope that u can overcome this and stop hurting urself! good luck kid.

talk to a school conciler, tell them you want to ask them something and cofide, as long as they don't tell anybody including friends and family. Don't confide unless they promise not to tell. Your best bet is, to tell friends, who will even if you ask them not to tell anybody, if they're good friends they will tell an adult who can help. Cutting is a VERY VERY VERY hard thing to quit, and all I can say is good luck, I know it's difficult, and it feels good (yes I do know from experience) but you HAVE to STOP IMMEDIATLEY before you cut a vein and die.

honesly, i REALLY think you should tell someone. They can help you stop. It is better to go through this with someone you love and cares about you then going through it alone. But if you done want anyone, Try and go cold turkey. When you think of cutting yourself, think of better than cutting yourself and why you want to stop. I hope I helped.

well you said if anyone ever finds out that your life would be over. That's not literally. But if you keep doing it, your life WILL literally be over if anything terrible ever happens. And i know thats scarey and all and that this is how you hide from your pain but there needs to be other ways in your life to solve this. if you wanna little help or maybe some solutions i know somebody who goes through the same stuf as you. Maybe you could IM her some time and vent. Im sure it would help you, by the way shes from advicenators too so just tell her where your from her im is : Xxi3arbieGurlxX
. try IMing her she's really sweet. Things I could help you to kinda get rid of all that stress, put a rubberband on your rist and everytime you wanna cut snap rele hard. It may not be easy but you've gotta. GL

put all your faith in God to help you stop doing this to yourself..but, God wont help you unless you help yourself..if u really want to stop, then just STOP..when u feel like cutting, DONT, throw the knife across the room and say FUCK YOU to the knife..no joke itll help you..try and make enemies with things thatll hurt you, like the knife, sissors, razors, or nething else that ull wanna use to cut yourself...you have to help yourself.
love kristin

Hey...well wut you do is.....STOP DOING IT!!!! Its really stupid to cut yourself...I mean even senseless...that whole room spinning thing is just you coming down off a 3 month crack bindge I mean really...there's no reason to do it any more...here's wut you do....just cover up your cuts for now then...just stop...when you get "jittery" go outside or go drink some water...do anything but that's really dumb and it dosent just effect you...it effects your friends and family if they find out...you wouldn't want that now....you naw mean?

Oh jeeze, not another cutter. Here goes. I too was a cutter for a year and a half. I had clinical depression and I attempted suicide, the whole bit. It's not a healthy thing to do. AT ALL. I'd do it every day and I've got scars to prove it. Eventually my parents found out and I went to therapy for 9 months and I'm fine now. What you have to do is exert your energy somewhere else. For instance, what makes me feel most at ease is playing the guitar and writing poetry. I've seen MANY questions on here about cutting. All I can tell you to do is to WRITE! Write down everything you're feeling, even write down the morbidness of how it feels when you cut. But you HAVE to stop. You're parents eventually will find out and you'll end up having to go to therapy. Therapy helps. It's helped SOOO many people through just about everything. If you don't see improvement, you have to tell your parents. I'm happy that you are making an effort to stop what you're doing. I hope that you realize what you're doing isn't healthy. I know from experience. It's hard to cover the cuts and to hide the guilt. Please try to stop, just write! Hope this helped.

ok, i dont want to sound all crappy and cheesy, but u should go to a program. i mean it. if u dont do it, sum1 would probably do it 4 u. they wont laugh at you or make fun of u because they had or have the same problem u do. good luk.

Back away from the knife...not being funny but honey you are more important that that to let your body rule you, rule your body. Get help tell someone that you trust and explain how you feel and what makes you do the hurtful things to you. Take care and get back with me as soon as possible now I am concerned I have 4 kids of my own..

Think about what your doing before you do it .. and whenever you want to just remember IF someone finds out it won't be good. Slowly, stop cutting less and less. I hope i helped! -Kayla

Hide all sharp objects so when you feel like you need to cut you wont have anything sharp around..you could bite your nails..
