BlackRose18 answered Monday February 28 2005, 5:06 pm: Dealing with cutting is a hard thing, when my parents found out they flipped on me and they put me therapy..and now im going through all this shit because of it..with an eating problem too, so just know your not alone and there are other people out there. REALLY REALLY cold showers hurt like hell but sometimes they help, you have to start off slow if you want to get better, and dont do it for other people do it for YOU. If you still feel the need to cut you should do it on your hips because its not visable. With the eating, start off with things you like..small, dont try and force it down..take it slow..But the only way to get better is help. Its out there, but its going to be a pain at first "It has to get worse before it gets better". Single out your problems one at a time..not all at once because then it seems liek a huge rush and too much for you. hope i helped <3 [ BlackRose18's advice column | Ask BlackRose18 A Question ]
solastmonthx answered Sunday February 6 2005, 9:28 pm: First off for the cutting. Wear rubber bands on your wrists and snap them whenever you feel like your going to cut. I URGE you to tell your parents/guardians that you have been cutting. Because it'll be soo much easier. And with the eating thing. Try eating slow. And dont eat so much. Just take it slow. And not to shove it all in at once. [ solastmonthx's advice column | Ask solastmonthx A Question ]
Ix3u704 answered Tuesday December 28 2004, 4:01 pm: let your mom know that you love her and all you want is for her to help you and support you no matter what. i think it's wrong that she would leave you with your aunt because she can't handle you.

NotListening5689 answered Monday December 6 2004, 5:59 pm: Well cutting is a very bad thing and think of all the consiquences. You could bleed to death or the cuts could get very infected. Try talking to your mom on the phone about your problems or you could talk to your aunt instead of takin them out all on yourself. Well I love to eat too its just what we teens and preteens love to do, don't worry we'll grow out of it someday. [ NotListening5689's advice column | Ask NotListening5689 A Question ]

c_assi_e_x_12 answered Sunday December 5 2004, 9:23 pm: I know where your coming from. And I don't know why your own mother would give up on you like that :( i am so sorry for that. The best thing for you to do is to tell someone who can help you such as a guidance counselor, a family member, or ask your aunt to take you to counseling (that way they could probably perscribe some anti-depressants to relieve stress and what-not.) And the eating thing: You're proabaly in the early stages of belimia. Now I'm not clear on eating disorders, but tell someone about that too, and then you can probably get help. Well, whatever you decide to do for help, I wish you the best of luck!!
NEVERLETG00 answered Sunday December 5 2004, 9:21 pm: i dont see why people cut themselves, like i understand if everythings not going like it sopossed to in your life, but its life, you have to deal with it, and i dont think cutting yourself makes you feel any better and makes everything so much better.. is anything gettin acomplished from you cutting? no. i didn't think so. so try other things to relieve your stress, and do things that let you have fun, cuz i dont think cheerleading is your thing, sry hun, but if you wanna cheer i dont think cutting is gonna make you look any better. x0 [ NEVERLETG00's advice column | Ask NEVERLETG00 A Question ]

My_Paper-x-Heart_x3 answered Sunday December 5 2004, 8:34 pm: well i used to be a cutter also.. and what i did.. was think how much damage it was doing to me .. emotionally and physically.. and how its affecting the people around me.. what if you cut a certian area and you bleed to death? almost happened to me.. luckily one of my friends found me.. and saved my life... think of some other ways to vent.. get into boxing? run until your all worked out? DO NOT even go by knives.. tell ur parent/aunt to hide them from you.. and anything sharp.. [ My_Paper-x-Heart_x3's advice column | Ask My_Paper-x-Heart_x3 A Question ]
Eyesinoceanwaves answered Sunday December 5 2004, 8:11 pm: Wow. I don't think I've ever had to deal with a rpoblem liek this at all. It's sounds scary. Cutting yourself is a big problem. Obviously you know that since you are being forced to move in with your aunt. Have you ever tried doing something different when you get urges to cut yourself? Like for an example, people who smoke a lot and want to quit chew gum or they get the patch. Mayeb you should do something that you like. Another thing you could do to try and stop this is to talk to a friend about it. A true and honest friend. One that will actually help you insetad of hating that you wear long sleeves all the time. Freinds help a lot. It may seem that they will look at you differently, but if they are truly your friend, then they will help. I don't know what to tell you about the eating. maybe you eat too fast or too much and that is why you feel like you should throw up. I feel sad knowing that people actually do cut themselves. I don't know what else to do to try and help. But maybe some of the things i have said will help. Good luck. [ Eyesinoceanwaves's advice column | Ask Eyesinoceanwaves A Question ]
icey0990 answered Sunday December 5 2004, 7:41 pm: My advice is to talk to your mom about checking you into a sort of rehab..blah i dont know what they call them..but somewhere where you stay overnight of course for a couple weeks and professionals can help you. You tried all the alternatives and they didnt work..so this is the next step. Dont be ashamed or worried...the best of us run into trouble. Im glad you want to get help and you`ve made efforts..this is your next sttep and i think it can really help. If you cant get into the rehab type thing..try going to a psycologist. its nothing to be ashamed of..get help and your gona get right back on track
-best of luck!

ChArMeDnUt answered Sunday December 5 2004, 7:34 pm: O.K. Amanda,
cutting yourself is not the answer, these may seem bad at times, but they are not always gonna be like that. think about all the good things in life when something bad happens. your mom loves you very much and is trying to help you, thats why she is sending you to your aunts. try talking to someone also, it helps. whenever you feel like you want to cut, call someone, or go see someone. you are a special person who is meant to do great things with her life, otherwise god would not have made you. try to think of one main thing that puts a smile on your face and remeber that whenever you are upset. everyone goes through stress in their lives, and they have help. their are lots of people who love you and can help you if you let them. for example: your aunt, your mom, your bf amd your friends. try talking to them about it and see if they can help out by talking to you about whats bothering you. if you want to you can aim me, my sn is Strawberryblnd98! As for the eating, you should try talking to a doctor. maybe your doctor can help. i hope this helped and ifyou need more advise just im me! [ ChArMeDnUt's advice column | Ask ChArMeDnUt A Question ]
