Cutting
Alright. This is going to sound really emo, but I need advice. When I was 13 or 14, I was dianosed with depression. I cut a couple times. Then I basically overcame it, and moved to Nevada, where now everything's basically great. Until yesterday. I was working on my Halloween costume, and I was using a razor knife to cut the head box. The knife slipped and sliced my arm. It hurt, but it felt like all my problems came gushing out of that cut. I hate to admit it, but every time something bad happened today, I thought of that cut, and I wanted to do it again. And again and again and again. I don't want to get into this shit again. Please help.

Hey,
I read your problem and i completely understand what your going through . But as i was reading , i came up with a conclusion to what you said. You did not overcome the whole depression and cutting thing, and you did not move on with your life as you said at the beginning of your problem. Because if you had done all that, then that accident cut would not have affected you one bit. So here is the thing, i for instance, have a really shitty past and horrible things that i used to do, but i just simply overcame it and i try my best everyday to completely forget about it and i moved on and started a new life and changed practically everything about me and my life. And still, there always comes a time when a situation happens and it reminds me of what i used to do. But then again, am i just gonnna spend my whole life thinking about what i used to do in past? About something that happened and finished long ago? Life moves forward, it doesn't go back, and you have to do that to. Look in front of you and never look back. And if there comes a situations which reminds of something ,the put it behind your back and continue moving on. It may hurt and it may be hard. But its not impossible.
Besides, i have discovered that there is so much in life that a person doesn't know about, so much fun , so much love, so much to do . so you said that you moved to a whole new place, why not just put this all behind you and change yourself and your thoughts and your life style and just start a new life, a new beginning. YOu were a kid for heaven sake, you had a little troubled childhood and you wasted it all in depression, but now your old enough. So be strong and learn to live your life. Its so good , i swear and there is so much that you can do. So consider what i said, and if there is anything that you want or if you feel like talking to someone, just send me a message, and i will give you all the help you want.

Wow, okay relax.I have a friend who cuts, too, and we kind of took her mind off the bad stuff she was into. Just try and have a fun life. Forget about the crap that's going on in your life cuz is it really worth destructing yourself for it? Have some FUN!!

First, let someone you trust know who will help to support your again.
Next, I completely know where you're coming from -that cut feels like such a powerful release, a big rush of adrenaline - it does become addicting.
You need to find a replacement for that rush feeling you get when there's a cut. Biking, swimming, working out are ways to release that adrenaline. Goto the local YMCA, sometimes they have boxing, rock climbi or diving are others ways too.
