well, either youre only asking this for attention (srry, I'm sure you aren't, but it happens...) in which case you need to stfu and get a better hobby.
*NOW* carving stuff with a pin is cutting, and either way you have to resist, STOP now, and get help, which I know seems like you'd be labeling yourself as crazy, but it isn't, try going to therapy or joining a support group, seriously, you've already started noticing the addictive quality, it only gets worse.
good luck <3

Hey,
Im telling you now..stop before it starts. ive gotten myself into cutting in the past and it can grow into an un breakable habit.
This year my everything fell apart for me, i wasn't exactly suicidal, i never really thought about killing myself, but i started cutting. I wouldnt do it on a regular basis, usually only when i got really depressed, like if something bad happened to me. And i still cut occasionally, it becomes like, your only way of dealing with stress. like, if im down about something, the first thing i'll want to do is go and cut. Its like a craving.
You can't possibly be addicted to it already if you've only done it once. It becomes addicting over time. So i think its all in your head. You can easily forget about cutting and find other ways to deal with your depression, while you can. Believe me, cutting doesn't solve anything..it just creates another problem. I suggest you talk to a counselor about everything thats going on in your life. its nice to have someone around that you can talk to and know that everything you tell them is completely confidential. its a much better approach to dealing with things than cutting is.

If you continue cutting it will leave scars if you do it hard enough and deep enough, and eventually you will regret it. all you have to do is think of something different. change your thoughts when you`re thinking about suicide !!it isnt worth it. it`s not worth you`re LIFE. because even tho things might suck right now it could be alot worse. and you need to tell yourself that, and you need to hang on. Eventually if you hang on things will excell and everthing will be good !! hope i helped [&HEARTS;]Lej

let me explain what cutting does.
cutting leaves scars. people who see them will know that you have cut before and they wont want to get to know you because you seem negative and depressed. not only that, but every time that YOU look at the scars you will probably regret it -maybe not now or tomorrow, but you will- and get even more negative and depressed and resort to more cutting...its a never ending cycle. so basically if you dont want to explain what those red marks on your arms are every time you meet someone, then i would suggest stopping.
why did you even think "well im so depressed...maybe hurting myself will help". how can more pain help depression? it CANT. and if your parents or teachers find out they will try to put you in some organization or program to help you and you wont feel comfortable.
cutting will also always be on your mind. everywhere you go youll be thinking "i hope he didnt see the cuts.." or "does she know??" so stop now before it gets serious because if it does, you probably will become suicidal and kill yourself [all because you couldnt handle middle school or high school or whatever you're in].
please stop right now. you dont know what your getting yourself into. cutting affects both you physically and mentally in negative ways.

Tell a close friend, a parent, or a school counselor. You just need someone to talk to. Try thinking of other things when you feel like cutting or go where there is a lot of people so you won't do it.

I had the same problem as you. I had the urge to cut but was too afraid so I used a safety pin. It's still not a good way to deal with things so I tried like someone already said snapping an elastic on my wrist. It worked for a while but I eventually got used to it and it didn't help. Now I have found my own way to deal with my problems. For me, because music and swimming are like the most important things to me, I go listen to music,write poems, swim, or anything that involves those things. It helps me escape from everything else because they are what I love and NOTHING can change that. So you should find something that you love doing so much that is safe and do that whenever you are stressed or depressed.

Okay well you could try *A rubber band and pull it up and let go to relive the pain,But it dosen't make a mark.*Also a Journal you could keep one and write all your anger in it.*Try and think of somthing else, Not anything about your problems or cutting,And just relax.

It sounds like you fell you dont know how to deal with emotional pain so you make it physical. Although this may seem like its helping, it wont help in the long run. Next time you get one of these urges, try doing someting like excersing or painting. something that you can concerntrate on that will help pass the time and use the energy to create someting.

Using thngs that will hurt wil not solve the problem. Take a deep breath and think of some ways to keep your mind off of what you want to do. If you have a hobby that you love then you have something that makes you so happy that you dont want to think about anything. Take a pencil and write some things that could help solve some of the problems in your life so you can become happier. Keeping a journal may help you get some of your anger out.
