cuttin
i started cuttin in 6 th grade.. im now goin into 8th .. i stopped for 8 months but then my mom and this lady she knows got into a verbal fight and i hate fighting so i cut again.. [between the 8 months i only cut 2 but not bad] i got so upset that i cut and i left like 19 deep cuts... my mom and her best friend patti dont know i cut but patti knows what is going on so i have kind of been living with her a couple nights during the week because she doesnt want me to be around the enviroment.. well the lady moved out and everything is normal but now i still get really mad and cut.. is there anyway to stop cutting other than rubber bands and the red marker because it doesnt work.
[ i have told one adult who is 20 and she is talking to me when i go to work with her monday wednesday and friday but i still cut ] .. sorry it was so long. * thanks

ok. i am a cutter myself and i have been doing it now for almost 3 years now so i know exactly what you are going through. like someone else said it really helps if you talk to one of your really close friends. another thing that i hvae been doing is make a notebook or a binder or whatever and write about it. like i write poems and sometimes that helps. also what you can do is play a sport or do something to get your mind off of it. if that doesnt work then try cutting up an old pillow or something. if that doesnt work then maybe you could try throwing out what ever you use to cut.
if none of that stuff works for you then maybe you should try going to this website:

its got a lot of alternative that you could try
hope i helped and good luck!

Hey. I'm going into ninth grade, and i'm giong threw the same thing you are. I have been cutting since 5th and I am just now trying to stop. Yeah, its to do because, trust me i know, its really addicting. It really is worth it though. The way I am trying now, because i do not want to talk to my mom or start going to therapy, although that may work for you if you want to try it, is by telling one of my very close friends who i trust with everything. After talking to her about it, i just call her whenever someone made me angry, or sad enough to cut, and she has a way of always cheering me up, and I have been cutting a lot less. I know things are hard for you right now, but stopping really will be worth it. Maybe try talking to a really close friend, if you think one could help you.
I dont know how much that helped// but I hope it did. Good luck hun !!

Been there done all that believe me. Its a dangerous cycle and it needs to stop. You have to find something else to channel your anger or depression on. Listen to loud music, scream, go running, take up sports, sleep, watch TV movies anything. Call a friend when you feel like cutting. Anything to stop, I did it for 5 years and trust me you dont want to be that addicted and dependant on it. If you really need help feel free to IM me, GLAM0R0USZ x im free to talk about this stuff, I enjoy helping people so dont be afraid to IM me and ask for help.

Cutting isn't something you can just stop. You have to really want to. I'm just going to be honest. I don't think you really want to stop. Now, I've been throguh the same thing that you are going through and it was hard for me. No one ever found out and I never told anyone. Well, then my friends started to find out and they made me relize how dumb I was for doing it and that it is defenetlly not worth it. I stopped because I REALLY wanted to and I set my mind to it and I stopped. It's one of those bad habits though. I personally think that the rubberbands don't work. The way that helped me was to find something else to do when you are upset. I would usually just lay down and listen to music and write in my notebook. I think if you tried that it would help you. You just let all your anger and feelings out without harming yourself. You also have to relize that by cutting yourself doesn't help! It leaves scars and its pointless & at the end your problems still are'nt solved and fixed. Talking to one of your close friends is also a good thing. Just understand that there is a lot of people that care about you and that wouldn't want you to do that yourself. Good luck though and please try to do stop. It's not worth it.
