Really Weird Question.
This may be the first question of its kind here. See, a lot of things have built up behind and with me, and it has caused me to attempt to injure my knee for about a year now. But, I'm really addicted to it now, and I try at least 3 times a day usually. I almost enjoy it, even. But, I want to stop. Ever had soemthing like that where you feel a need to stop something you enjoy? Anyways, I went through my mind the steps I usually advise to stop SIing, and none of them seemed to work. There is nobody I can tell, as any will cause more problems than it will solve. I'm very anti-social-phobic, where I am afraid of become a loner for the 3rd time in my life. My parents do not know any of the causes, so when they hear the effect, they want to know the causes. If I ever explained it to them, they'd ruin my life. They're out. So are responsible adults, as there is nobody I am confortable enough to speak to.
So, I believe that the only way to stop is if I get too far. If I actual do injure something badly, I will no longer have to try, thus saving me. I have no self will, if that's what you're going to suggest.
So my question is, how? How can I possibly do it?

You've already taken the first step by admitting that you do have a problem. Now, you just need to find a way to control it. I would suggest journaling as a way to work through the cause. Distraction techniques such as exercise, rubbing ice on your knee, calling a friend, anything to distract you from injuring yourself. With most addictions, the first few minutes of the urge are the hardest to get past. However, if you can distract yourself during these few minutes, the urge should pass for the moment.
You really do need to talk to your parents or another adult about this. You have to deal with the root of the problem to deal with the SI. Sometimes counseling may help.
There is a wonderful site on SI. I don't know if you've been to it before, but if you haven't I suggest you do. It offers tips on asking for help, getting to the root of the problem, and things to help keep you from continuing the action.

I'm going to include a few more sites for you take a look at. They also offer help and suggestions. Some even offer forums and chat where you can talk to others dealing with SI.

HEY! Well i have a friend who does weed and drinks heavily. She's gotten into church alot lately ( thank God ) and so NOW she has a will to quit but its hard for her. Her parents dont care what she does and in your situation i think your parents will blow it up into a big deal, which it is a huge deal but like they wont help you in the way they should. And i dont know you and what you need to do is get involved in a church. GO TO CHURCH!! And if you cant get to a church by a bible and pray and read it. Because God created you and he wants YOU to take care of YOUR BODY! And i dont really understand what your doing to your knees because my knees are awful, like ive got torn cartilages and they are very painful most of the time. Sooo it kinda made my knees hurt reading this story, lol. But you seem to be a good person. And i wanted to commit suicide last year like i came close to it like 5 times. But something always stopped me. But then somebody took me too church and somehow i knew thats what i needed. I was having stress at school and in middle school kids act immature and they try to ruin peoples lives. And so i felt kinda like i was alone - but when i got to church ( i had always been in church but it was NO BIG DEAL ) i became aware that when this life is over youve got two places you live in for eternity and thats Heaven or Hell. Which do you want? But see i dont really know the reason your hurting yourself. But you need to get help because thats really not good. And i dont know you but i care for you and i really hope you dont go to far with it. But like if you get involved with a church group you more then likely wont be thinking about hurting yourself. And dont get me wrong your gonna have ruff times, im going through a rough time right now. But you just have to think at it in the best way possible.. God's trying to show you something! But i really fear for your life right now because i know how bad i was with suicide and i know how hard it is to stop something my friend KNOWS its not right and thats the first step to improvement,.. and she wants to stop but like she doesnt know how. Because when you can get a hold of something then uhm.. YEAH your gonna do it. Its just human nature. But you need to seriously pray and ill pray for you right after i finish typing this to you. But just know that i love you as my brother in Christ even if your not a christian ,.. and if you are then you realy need to get into church and be 100% dedicated to it. I HOPE I HELPED IN SOME WAY.. IM PRAYING NOW.. I LOVE YA..

well, i know what you mean on that subject, cause i used to be the same way.. what i did in that situation was when you want to (in your case) injure your knee) you should do something else, or think of something instead. for example, buy a punching bag, thats what i did. i bought a blow-up punching bag and hit that instead. Concentrate on something else instead. Hope i helped you!
