cutting..
wow, I don't really know what category to put this under, so I guess it works under friendship.. kinda. Anyway, I started cutting, I don't know why but I did. I don't want to, but it's really addicting.. 0.o so it's hard for me to stop. Only on of my friends knows and I just met him and I like him alot.. he cuts to, so I feel conferdable talking to him about this.. he doesn't do it so much anymore but I wonder if he is worried about me, I know my step brother is.. he knows to. Well he doesn't really know he just thinks I do it and he knows that I have a BiG possibatly of doing it.
When I look at my scares.. I cry, and I think 'is this really who I am?? is this really me??' cause I don't seem like this kinda girl who would do this.. I am real caring and nice and funny.. so I don't get it.. how do I stop.. do you have anything to tell me about what I wrote? just anything, please.. I wana stop.
--Thanks.--

woah, okay you just pretty much described me. well yea its VERY addicting, and chances are your friend is worrying, cause my friends worry about me, a lot. i often wonder if this is really me to, and i know its not. i am going to be a hipocrit right now, but it isnt who you are. sounds like you konw youre a good person, and you sound like one too. so talk to this guy and ask him to help u through it. tell him to ask you everyday if you cut to make yourself stop. i know if i had support from the guy i liked i wouldve stopped, so chances are with his help you can. let me no how it goes.

Ok I probably don't know much about this because I've never cut myself, and i dont want to sound rude but im not gonna sugar code anything for you. It's really really really stupid. When did anybody ever get the idea to cut themselves. It's stupid and it probably hurts. All you have to do is stay away from sharp abjects or just tell people and get them to help you, because believe it or not you probably cant do everything on ur own.

Cutting is a difficult issue because I guess it's different for all cutters.
There's lots of websites which'll help, www.younglivin.org.uk/advice/ advice_relationships/self_harm.htm and www.lcet.org/selfharm are a couple.
One of the ways that my friend found useful was this: whenever you feel the need to cut, draw on the cuts in red felt pen instead.
Good luck, hun, you will get through it eventually. Stand tall!

hi. this one is easy because i just stopped about a week ago. i went to a therapist and asked what i could do to stop. she said to wear a rubberband around your wrist. every time you feel like cutting u pull back on the rubber band and let go. cutting relieves your pain, stress, depression...it "hurts". the rubberband thing hurts but it doesnt leave scars. it may sound weird but its true and its helped me alot. cutting can be fatal so you might want to stop now. i hope you didnt use something like old scissors because they can be infected. i hope i helped and good luck!

i dont want to be rude or anything but did you just think of doing it because you saw it on t.v. or something because it sounds like you do it for attention.dont get me wrong or anything but a lot of people do it for attention or think they do it for real.i know its really addicting but you just have to stop.try a rubber band but that might not work.

You did it because you're a stupid idiot who wants attention. You like to try and make yourself feel bad and you cry over it because you're a baby. You started because you are a pathetic moron. Stop wanting attention and deal with what you have.

i dont personally cut but i have a friend who does. she said it is an addiction just like smoking. to stop you just to have a lot of self control. remember cutting doesnt take away the pain it just transfers it from emotional pain to physical pain. i think you should talk to an adult that you are comfortable with (i.e: your mom,dad,aunt,cousins,grandparents,etc.)
if you continue cutting you may need therapy. which isn't a bad thing. i know plenty of people who have gone to therapy.
always remember you are never alone and by cutting yourself you are not only hurting yourself but also the people who care about you (that sounds really corny but it is true)
i hope that helps. feel free to IM me.

Tell your parents. They may not understand it but they will get you the help you need.You really need to talk to a therapist who knows all about your problem and can help you deal with it.

okay, the textbook answer is therapy, but thats not the one id say... look, make a list of what it accomplishes verses what it ruins...like swim season if you do it on your thighs, shorts and capris, short sleeved shirts...the fashion list goes on, but if that doesnt do it for you, what about friends family and everyone you love? you have to lie to them everyday, think about how hurt youd feel if your best friend kept a huge secret from you forever...lastly, cutting leads to other things, it is so addicting and a lot of times it is about stress so cut stuff out of you life as opposed to yourself. being around people that dont really care or people that think that cutting is okay only makes everything worse. the best way i think to relive the whole cutting addiction is chocolate, run, chill with your good friends, the ones that care about you, listen to soothing music and think about yourself for once, think about how much everything hurts and write about it, write about how you feel (cliche i know...) before and after you get the urge. finally, tell someone, its going to be hard and if you are like me, you will bawl your eyes when you tell, but its so worth it. if you really want to stop, its the only way, it starts with isolation but it wont stop that way. expirience changes the world doesnt it? look, you know that this behavior is hurtful, i can tell you do, so use the scary expirience to help other people, tell them that it doesnt work, help them through it. its so hard, but you have to stop now or else you wont ever stop.
