Stopping
For the past while i have been cutting myself. At first it was just scratches and then i started cutting deeper and deeper. I am really scared and I don't want to talk to my parents, they have enough to worry about, so is there anyway i can break the habit and just stop...and please don't answer if you are just going to poke fun at me and mock me. I don't need that. Only post if you can help me.

Sit your parents down...and try and get it out..and if you can't then just pull up your sleeve..i know you think that your parents have enought to worry about but your thier child..and i know my parents hate seeing me go through the samething..and im sure yours would too. You can try other ways but if your hooked on cutting (deep) then it won't really help..rubber bands leave welts, cold showers hurt like hell, burning just becomes another habbit to fix..so really the only way to get rid of it is to get help <--*

First off I know exactly where your coming from. Wear rubber bands on your wrists and snap them whenever you have a urge to cut. To bring it up to your parents , sit them down and start off slowly and and then just bring it on them. Tell them that you want to see a phycolist. And make sure that they understand and their supportive. hope i helped.

You must stop now- if you hit an vein by accident, it is likly you would die. Next time you get an urge to cut, harm something else, like cut an orange or ppunch a pillow. Love yourself and think of all the other people that love you- your family, your friends..If you did accidently kill yourself think of how they would feel. It would be best to tell your parents but if you really can't speak to your school counsellor or e-mail the Self Harm Alliance on support@selfharmalliance.org. It could save your life.
Good Luck,

you have to tell your parents. tell them u need help. one mistake like hitting a vein or something and you could die. your parents are never too busy for you.

first of all you can REALLY hurt yourself, since you don't want to tell your parents because they have enough problems think of it liek this that if you do something serious it will only increase their problems. To get help go to a counselor...or tell your parents that you need to talk to someone about your problems and you can't tell them because you don't feel comfortable. So hopefully they can get you to a counselor...if you go to school then visit the school counselor...you can write to me!

ok, i use to be a cutter. bringing it to you parents can be hard. it took me maybe 4 years before i could tell my mom. i just recently told her. the thing is- for you to stop cutting, you have to truely want it. you have to believe in yourself and it will just happen. now- you dont have to break it to your parents unless you truely think that it will help. if you want to get more help and be able to talk about it then tell them. sit them down and speek calmly.. like tell them that you have soemthing serious you need to talk to them about and you want their support and dont want them to blow up at you. then tell them about how you cut but how you dont want too anymore. and that you are stoping. i hope that this helps..if you have more questions feel free to ask. good luck hun.

um first i would say to talk to your parents, they can help you by helping find you a counselor to talk about why you are cutting. i dont know what you are going through or what makes you want to cut yourself, but you need to stop before you hur yourself in an even worse way.

You have to tell your parents!

First of all, you do need to tell someone, and I don't just mean a bunch of faceless people on the Internet. I have known a couple of people that have resorted to this route of dealing with life's pains and stresses. You really just need to find some other outlet for yourself. It's best, however, not to try to get through this alone. You should get some sort of professional help and don't keep this from the ones you love. It is not an added worry for them, I'm sure. This type of thing is not about attention and it's not about suicide, I know. So, the only thing they have to worry about is helping you and being a family. What else is family for than to be there for one another in times of need?

The same thing happened to me. It sounded gay at first, but i found talking to adults about it really helped me out. I could sort out my problems, and figure out why I was cutting, and then deal with them using other ways. Try hanging out with friends, talking to people or doing something you like to take your mind off things that may be causing you to cut. Write about how you feel in a joural or something. In time the habbit will probably go away. Your in a hard point in your life, but as you grow up you'll grow out of it. GOOD LUCK!

talk to your friends or a couciler these things can make you commit suicide. please stop. think about the people you would hurt if you were'nt here.

Go to your guidance counselor. That might help. Maybe another adult you trust.

The first step to stopping what you are doing is asking for help and that's just what you've done by writing this. I check my inbox many times a day so why don't you write back when you've read this? There are a lot of people in your situation and by cutting yourself you are relieving the 'pain' of things you are stressed and worried about but , as you said, can't talk to your parents about. Do you want to talk to me about it? Are you having problems with work? Family, friends, relationships or life in general? Let me know and I will try my best to help. Daisy

get a hair band... not a big one a skiny one and put it on your wrist... when ever you feel the need to cut snap it

I am sorry to say this.. but the best thing to do is to go to your parents! They love you and care about you and they want to help you! If you dont want to go to your best friend and tell her.. tell her that you dont know what to do... and maybe she will tell her mom.. and her mom will help you out! But I think you should go to your parents first!
I hope this helps!!

ok. first off, you need to talk to someone, soon. Talk to your school counselor please. or a teacher. Someone you can trust with anything. Please. This is happening to to many people. Talk to someone. Trust me. It helps

OMG Hunnie you have a problum on your hands. You have to tell someone close to you. You might think your parents have enough to worry about but you need to tell them. Its very serious and you should see a cousiler. This isn't a jokeing matter i want you to do something about this before it goes too far. I don't want to see you die or something horrible like that. Tell someone please.

Tell your friend your friend can help you and have somone else tell your parents no matter how much stuff they have to worry about i am sure that you are more important to them.. its a hard habit to break but if you tell someone whoe cares about you it only gets easier..
]
You are someone who they worry about, and you need to tell your parents about this. They do care about you believe it or not.

I know exactly how you feel! Well, not exactly because everyone's situation is different, but I had the same problem. Listen, you NEED to talk to someone. Trust me. Your parents will feel worse if you don't tell them. There's this thing with cutting - people get addicted to the pain, so whenever something goes wrong, they reach for a knife, razor, etc. The only way to break the habit is to get help! You're already halfway there - you're asking advice here. But if you don't tell your parents or someone who can help, theres a good chance they'll find out without you telling them and stick you into a mental hospital. Personal experience.. Now, you don't want that, do you? I hope you get better! Let me know how things go for you..

I think its great that you realize that its not good to cut yourself, and you know that its hurting you. If you DONT talk to your parents, and you go too far and end up killling yourself, your parents will live their whole lives blaming your death on them. So help yourself and your parents and talk to them. They'll know what to do. Suicide doesnt solve anything, it just hurts you and the people around you.

I think that you should wear a rubber band around both ur wrists, then, if you feel like cutting just smack urself with the rubber band. I used to cut...and believe me it helps....well it helped me. If it doesn't you don't have to tell your parents right away go see a councelar* and talk to him/her about her problem hope it helped

ok lok what your doing is realy bad and you realy need to go get some help
]
dont think that your parents have too much to worry about. Your their responsability and if you tell them that there is something that you shouldnt be doing and you cant stop you need to tell them so they can help you or they could get you some help. whatever you do dont be afraid to tell your parents

Hey...I think that I can help you because I am a former cutter. Here's what I did...I threw away all of my blades, knives, etc. Then I just tried to focus on all of the good things in my life. I made myself so busy with other things that if I even thought about cutting myself...I would have no spare time to do it. Also! Try not to listen to sad music, believe it or not, music affects your mood. Maybe you could listen to Christmas music...since the holidays are coming up anyway. You can also try talking to a trust worthy friend, or going online and joining support groups...like I did!!! Anyways, I really hope that this stuff works, and remember...everyone goes through hard times...don't let them get the best of you, BE STRONG!!!
-Hope I Helped *Banna*

Anything but your skin!, trust me.. you will have to live with those ugly scars like i did..

hey! first..why are you cutting yourself? problems with friends/family what? please don't hurt yourself again. I think you should spend time with your friends/sibs and not be alone because then you'll think about doing it again and you shouldn't!! Just try to think positive about things and don't get mad at stuff just be like whatever...well i hope you stop that habit! luv yaz!

OK well lots of my friends are cutters unforntentally. I think you should stop. since you cant talk to your parents about it you should really talk to like one of your good friends they will help you over come it .The reason most people cut is to get rid of there anger/sadness i dont see how it helps but if you could cheer up your life it would probably make it easier to stop cutting . if you need to talk to me about this conntact me through yahoo-insanlykrazie76313
