A Bloody Mess I Can't Get Out Of
I really don't know where else to turn right now but here. Okay, I know that I really shouldn't cut myself, but It's addicting. The teachers, my parents, they can't help! They don't get it. My parents say 'Pray'. I am Christian, but what do you do when Faith isn't enough? My teachers tell me I just need to want to stop. HELLO! I've wanted to stop! I can't! Someone please, If you know how to get unaddicted to the pain, please help me!

i totally understand. i used to binge & purge whenever i got too stressed out, or if i was sad or mad.. or even when i was bored. and i only told one person and they just didn't understand. a good thing to do is to actually exercise whenever you're tempted to cut. it'll help you to get it off your mind and distract you, and it's actually good for you. try running, or if your school has a weightroom, even just try staying after school to do that. also try talking to a guidance couselor and i'm sure you can get through this. xo<3

find a hobby to do. if you like baking, then bake! if you like sports, then sport! er... play sports :) if you enjoy arts & crafts, then find something to do. try meditating. its actually pretty fun and extremely relaxing. and no. you dont actually float in the air (people have asked me before so i just say that naturally). listen to music you ENJOY. dont listen to pop music because you think it will make you feel better. listen to what you enjoy. have a day to yourself and in the first five minutes or so after you wake up, pick one trait that you like about yourself. no matter how hard it may be, just try. if your friends like something about you, then think of that. maybe keep a journal or something that you can take your thoughts down in and get them out. if you feel comfortable, find a friend that you can talk to easily, really trust, and confide in. if you are comfortable telling them things, then you can confide in them and have someone closer to eye-level help you.hope this helps!

i agree with sydnie. hang with your friends, play a sport, go to the gym, do something else to get your mind off of cuttin yourself, but remember dont give up! good luck!

Find another way to relieve yourself! I know exactly what you mean, and i've been there. The way I stopped was indulging myself into other things, but I needed more than that, I got myself into a program where I guess you could call her/him a therapist, and helped me vent in other ways. I still do it every now and again but thats just because I was stressed and needed a fix.
Get with friends when you have free time...
Find a video game, book, or sport that interests you and stay with that... If all else fails... There are clinics, and people talk to to help. Depending on where you are there is a line to call and it's anonymous and they could help to.

ok i have a couple suggestions
obviously you dont want to cut yourself.
maybe in your subconscious its become a habbit.
1)talk to other people that you care about and ask them to write down why they want you to stop or even tape recording their reasons on camera or cassete tape so you can here their actual voice. then write down the reasons or record them that you want to quit. each time you have the urge to cut yourself listen to them or read them. you might even tape a picture of yourself and those people in happier times so you can look at them and get more of a visual on the way you want to live.
2) you are the controller of your own universe. you will attract what you send out. think about or write down every day what you want preferably when ever you get the urge to harm your self. dont just do it once or twice do it about 30 or more times or just sit and visualize being happy and what you want positively in your mind.
3)question yourself what is the real reason your cutting yourself. you have to know somewhere deep down or you wouldnt get the urge to do it. when you find the answer to that question confront it.
if you need anymore help or to talk to me write me in my inbox and i will give you my personal email adress

i am sorry but the best way to stop is 1-seek immediate counseling. 2-get your parents to send you to a local mental place. because one day you may just cut too deep. i know you may not like this bit of news..but I did go through it and thats the only thing that helped me. please for you and your family and all your loved ones go get help.

okayy well i'm not sure if this will help but since you said you don't know how to get unaddicted to the pain, why don't you try something else that will give you pain. now i don't mean like something dangerous to yourself but maybe buy a punching bag & use it, or start running even just working outt.. they all give you physicall pain but none that will be dangerous to your own life. i hope this helped you!
