Go to recoveryourlife.com they offer many many ways to help you and offer support.
There are numerous ways to help you stop but not all of them will work for everyone. therapy, meds, supprt groups, affirmations, disassociation....
I struggled for years and years and finally got to the point where I looked at myself, covered in scars and hated the way my life was going. A good friend of mine had told me a saying- "Insanity is repeating the same behavior expecting different results."
That saying finally sunk in and I ended up living my life by it. Whenever I felt overcome with that urge I repeated that in my head. Also, going to that site and gettin support helped. I'm noting going to sit here and act like I'm totally cured but I'm doing a hundred times better than I was a year ago.
If you want you can message me any time and we can exchange emails or ims. I'm here to talk, listen and everything else.
BlackAngel answered Saturday November 26 2005, 11:54 pm: Um..you have a couple options. One of which is to "accidently" let you mom find out what you're doing. Another is to tell her, and ask if you can get help from a psychologist. If you're cutting, there's a good chance there's a deeper reason and you don't need meds or anything, you can probably get a good start with just talking to someone professional.
If you want to start stopping on your own, I've known people who fought really hard not to keep cutting and they started snapping rubber bands on their wrists instead. Don't snap it constantly in the same spot so it actually cuts the skin, snap it in different places so that it will hurt but won't cut.
Sorry I'm out of other suggestions for help...
good luck and I hope one of these suggestions might at least help you to start stopping. [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]

I know how you feel, I used to do it and than everyone stopped being my friend and I was lonely and Then one boy came along and gave me confidence to stop and everything and I go over his house and all that stuff but like I have scars still but That one person made me stop so maybe you need a friend to boost your confidence so my sn is LilDevilDri666

I know you expect a life changing answer but thats something i can't give you. The only person that can really change your situation is you my dear.
I have many friends that have cut themselves and many that still do, so i understand how you sort of feel. I myself once wanted to try because i was at a time when my life felt horrible. But i never actually had the guts to try. Also i told my mom right away and she took me to a therapist. She really helped me out with my problems and depression. If youre really asking for my advice i say tell your mom. Yes you might upset her but trust me you'll be glad you did. The sooner you do it the sooner she can help you.
If you ever just need to talk to someone i'm here for you just comment my inbox or im me. My SN is DiOr BARBIEE
