Hi.
I decided to ask you this question because you seem like you know what your talking about. Well I`m 13/f and I have a really bad habbit. I started cutting like 3/4 months ago. I have my reasons and now it's really hard for me to stop.Couple of my friends saw my wrists and stuff and they asked me what was going on so I told them. Couple weeks later all of my friends found out and made a huuuuge deal out of it. At school when I`m mad or I feel like cutting I scrach my self with my nails. My friends did it once to prove to me how much they want me to stop. I tried talking to them about it and telling them it's my problem and they dont understand how hard its for me to stop. The rubber band thing on my wrist thing thats supposed to help .. well it doesnt. I also tried throwing everything away ( scissors and razor) but it doesnt help eather. Now I kinda stoped for like a week or two and belive me it is hard. I want to do it soo bad again. I only did this to prove to them I can do it but I really cant. Please help. I don't know what to do.

It's great that you actually tried to stop cutting. Cutting is an addiction and you wanting to cut again is just like a craving for something. I have never cut myself before because I know how to fix my mistakes and such without cutting but you are right, this is your problem and it is hard to stop. If you cut for a reason, try to fix it without cutting yourself. Your parents probably don't know about this but if you try to stay with them or someone else, tell them to not let you leave so you won't cut. It's alright that your friends made a big deal out of this because they are just trying to help you out and you know that but it's hard for you to understand that at the same time. Not cutting for a week or two is a long time and yes, it's hard but if you keep on trying not to, you will stop. Try distracting yourself a lot and tell yourself that one cut could end your life. This is pretty hard for me to answer, since I have never gone through this but this is what I would probably do.
Sorry if I didn't help you at all.
Good luck!
