I think that your right. it does become like an addiction. i know because i've been cutting around 2 years and its not easy giving up. i was afraid of it getting worse too.but there is ways to stop. i stopped many times. it just takes time. you just have to think of all the people who cares about you and if they want this for you. that keeps me off of cutting everyday. Its knowing someone cares about you. If it works for me, i know it'll work for you.

Have you considered talking with your parents about admitting yourself into a psychiatric facility for a while? It is summertime, so you wouldn't miss school or anything.
I know it sounds crazy, but going there would mean you are under constant supervision, you have constant mental support, and constant medical support. We aren't talking visiting a counselor a couple days a week here, we are talking about around the clock care.
You wouldn't have access to anything you can cut yourself with.
You are caught up in a vicious cycle, and that would be a way to help force yourself out of it.
You can maybe get to the root of the problem, and over time learn to cope with things without self mutilation or even medication.
You have been cutting for 2 years, so it is going to take some time, patience, and hard work to stop.
The best of luck to you, and I hope that you find a way to get past this, weather you follow my advice or not.

After a while cutting becomes an addiction. The brain starts to connect the false sense of relief from bad feelings to the act of cutting, and it craves this relief the next time tension builds. When cutting becomes a compulsive behavior, it can seem impossible to stop... but you can.
You WANT to stop and that is a huge step. You should really look into a support group for Self-Injurers. This site lists several online communities with people just like you. They can support you and give you advice that only someone else in the situation can give.

Here are some more tips to avoid hurting yourself...

Another tip... Make a list of things that are important to you... things and people you love, goals you have for the future. Every time you have the urge to cut, look at it. Think of how much you love these people and activities. Think about the things you will miss out on if you aren't around.
Good Luck and feel free to write if you need someone to talk to.

You need God in your life.
You need to prey and ask God for help, he is really the only one you can turn to when all else has failed. I know it sounds odd and you may ignore my advice if you don't believe, but it truely is the only way.
I have friends that were in your posistion, struggling to stop their addiction. Nothing really worked either. They went to doctors, took meds, and went to aurora...three times. Then, finally she came to God and hasn't been back ever since.
Of course its going to be rough, and you probably will have doubt, but as long as you just put your faith in Him everything will be clear and soon enough your problem will be solved.
=D
I hope this helps your problem!

im really sorry about your problem, but you have to stop, not only for yourself but for your family. they love you. everytime you think about doing it put on some cheerful music or watch tv go online keep yourself busy. please keep all of the razors glass or anything you use to cut yourself with, away from you. keep them away. throw them away. make someone hide them in a a place you dont know so if you ever want to cut yourself you wont know what to use. i know depression is really bad, trust me ive been there but you have to help yourself. please. if you need anything i will be here for you. just drop something in my inbox
