If not theres a few things I can tell you to do. Everytime you have an urge to cut write down why in like a notebook or journal, something you keep private and too urself. Throw away whatever you cut with, sometimes seeing a knife or razor or n e thing gives you a greater urge to do it. If you like the pain and thats what you need, take an elasic band and snap it on your wrist, or take an icecube and squeeze it in your hand. I know cutting is an addicting habit and its really really hard to stop. But it si also a mind thing, if you really want to stop you can, part of the reason why I can't stop, is because I know ir works. But you can pull through this, and if you ever need anything IM me anytime and Keep me updated ITSALLKAILTYN( my screen name) I hope I hekped you and Best Wishes.
