Cutting is a mental/emotional and physical illness. To be blunt you need professional help for this. Cutting is the first sign of being a suicidal. You need to tell your mom and you boyfriend about your problem b/c by keeping it a secret you are hurting everyone. Befor you start talking about the cutting you should try to solve you problems. Cutting is usually started because of emotional discomfort or pain and for you to stop cutting you need to face your problem. Until you can stop cutting dont cut your wrists. Stay in the upper arm/leg area so you dont bust any major blood wessels and die.
Get help for yourself and others

Ok First off cutting is an addiction, it is classified as an addiction in the DSMVI (The big blue book dr.'s use to diagnose), you need professional help and you need to tell your mom. If money is an issue then there are tons of free clinics in many areas across the states and Canada. If you are scared to tell your mom then there are counsellors at school and free phone lines that you can call just for support.
If you need names of clinics, phone numbers or any other help that will help you beat this once and for all please message me, the pain you are in emotionally is fixable you just need the right kind of help.

Cutting is often about having some pain that you can control. I put rubber bands around my wrist and snapped them when i wanted to cut; this gave me the control over the pain without having to cut- it helps. You're wise to realise this is a problem that could be potentially deadly- and i'll be happy to help in any way i can - even if its just someone to talk to. Good Luck.

sweetie. you need to stop this. my best friend is involved with the same problem. i dont think anyone can save you but yourself. its dangerous. and if you do it right, you will end up killing yourself. death is never the solution. im sure there are tons of people that love and care for you. and you would be a great loss to society. you need to realise that everyone is inportant to someone. and you have a boy on your arm. so i know that you are important to someone. just think twice about is. mabe even 3 times. if that helps you.

I was also a cutter for about 2 years. I stopped because one of my close friends yelled at me for it. It showed that even though that was my way of letting out my emotions that it scared other people.
My advice to you is just think about how your boyfriend cares about you. This would probubly scare him. Do it for him and find another way to let out your emotions.
GOOD LUCK!

think about why and when u started up again. You should talk to your mom or boyfriend about it so they can help you...I've had an experience like that...i wasn't a cutter but a pill popper and whenever i got depressed that's what i would do..i od and had to go to a psych ward..it was actually pretty helpful and a lot of the people there were cutters. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point if you talk to someone soon enough.

My friend was a cutter for quite sometime, after many many tries, we found something that worked for her.
Everytime you want to cut, find something else to do instead. If you like soda, allow yourself one can of soda everytime you feel like cutting. [Keep the replacement activity constant] If you feel like cutting, pop a balloon instead, or scream into your pillow every cuss word you can think of, or even write in a journal as dumb as that sounds.
Then, reward yourself.
If you don't cut for a week, allow yourself an extra dessert or treat yourself to a new cute shirt you've wanted. Little things at first, then after a few weeks, treat yourself to bigger rewards to keep you motivated.
Also, when you think about cutting, listen to your favorite song really loud, that really helped her.
Good Luck <3

You need to figure out what's making you cut yourself. There's always a reason; don't kid yourself and say there isn't.
If youre not comfortable telling your mom yet, talk to your boyfriend. Show him your scars; he'll want ot help you and be supportive. When you're ready, he can help you tell your mom. YOu should be getting help for this. Even one or two sessions of therapy (or maybe talking to your boyfriend would be enough, knowing that someone else cares)
There's plenty of resources available to you- and two you've already mentioned; your mother and boyfriend. Two people who really care about you.
hope everything turns out well ♥

There is such thing as a therapist. Tell your mom, tell her that you wanna get better & such. See one, get some medicationn.. & you'll feel a whole lot better. Also, try talking to some of your friends or your boyfriend, about how you feel.
I hoped I helped kbyee
