I started cutting my self about a year, and I just did it to see what it felt like and to maybe finally get some attention from my mom and now I cant stop... its like after every little argument I have with her I have to go up to my room and cut my self or it doesn’t feel right. I have tried to stop and I have even made promise to people but I just don’t know what to do any more it seems like its getting out of control and I don’t want to have to go see a therapist because I don’t know if I could come out and say I have a problem so basically I’m just asking what I should do...?

a good way to avoid cutting is putting rubber bands on ur wrists and pulling/letting go. it helps.

Well hun, the only thing you really can do to stop is see a therapist.It won't be so hard telling your therapist, because it's confidential and it's not like telling your mom or one of your friends.Good luck.

you should really get help. i know someone who had that problem. somebody told on them and she finally stopped. you may not want to get help, but a theropist or whoever you get will keep everything confidential. so don't worry...just get help.

You're doing great already - by acknowledging that there's a problem, you're half way there!! Maybe you could start by almost restricting the cutting (E.G. Every other argument, or only one cut a time) until you can get down to not doing it? It shouldn't be too difficult because it seems to be more of a habit than anything else, but go you for trying to stop before it gets out of control!! Good luck :)
Blessed Be,

Gah... I really don't know what your going through ,but maybe it would help if, when you get mad or upset, instead of cutting yourself, just go in your room and use your pillow as a punching bag or something like that to make you feel better and let out your anger.*Sorry I couldn't help more...*

Well first take away all ur sharp objects!! And try as hard as you can everytime you feel like cutting scream in a pillow kick a soccer ball go running something like that. Maybe you can talk to the school's councelor. Just have one oppointment and then u dont have to go again. Talk to your mom and tell her that i know this sounds weird but if you dont mind i would like just alittle more attention. Ok well good luck and dont cut! <3 American Girl

I know it's not the answer you want to hear, but maybe you should consider a therapist? Or at least talk to someone close about things. You can also try and find other ways instead of cutting to get out that tension. There is a therapy technique where you put a rubber band around your wrist and snap it every time you feel like you need to cut. Soon enough you will not need it and can resort to plainly screaming into a pillow. I hope I helped, because I have a friend that used to cut and I've watched several things about it and sort of know what it is. It's a control over pain, like it's the only thing you can control in your life. Know you have more control than that, you can control the pain your feeling. Drown yourself in a warm bubble bath and chocolate. :) good luck with everything and I hope you update me if you need further advice.

i know how your feeling. i've made promises and tried to stop. but it is just like something you HAVE to do. i understand. but what you need to understand is that u need help. i didnt want to see it at first-- but then i realized i need help and then from there the situation has been lookn up. not to say its perfect. i have my ups and downs.. but just realizing you need help solving something bigger then you could imagine is the first step. i have a friend who i kno i would die w/o.. he's like my gaurdian angel i guess you could say. you need someone like that to talk you through tough situations and make you feel good about yourself. + you could keep a diary, poem book, or draw what your feeling instead of cutting it. those are the only solutions i can come up with if you dont want to see a therapist. but maybe you can do what i did and just talk to a professional. a person you can tell it all to who wont go blabbing it around the school or w/e the case may be. best of luck

hey, i've been in this situation before, have you tried writing out what's been going on in your life? for me, i have a journal i take everywhere with me.. just to write down poems and random thoughts i'm having.. then if any of it's negative, i try to refocus and see if i can change the situation and maybe fix the problem. It's good that you've realized that this has become a problem, many people are oblivious to that. keep up your progress
