Cutting yourself means you're emo. Cut it out! (No pun intended)

I've had the same problem once
when i was in 9th grade up until 2005.
I've went to counseling and everything. Than after that i've realized that cutting doesn't solve anything. maybe... you should talk to your boyfriend or a friend or even a family member about your problems instead of harming yourself, cause it's not worth it

I did the same thing...I'm still battleing it...you should ask yourself if you want to stop. if you say yes then you can help yourself maybe along with some proffessional help. I don't knwo how bad you are but since you say you can't stop...it might have become a compulsion. I doubt that it has...you seem new to it...but if you keep going you could seriously hurt yourself. find better outlets...better ways to deel with your emotions...It's hard and nobody should tell you to just stop...becasue you can't...once the mind finds something that works...like cutting or breaking glass or writing...the mind latchess on to it...you can stop but it will be hard. if you need more help e-mail me or ask a direct question.

I went through a cutting fase around the age of 15. I didn't need a therpist or some councelor to tell me how to stop. Realizing that I had a problem and then thinking about how stupid I was for hurting myself because of the problem made me feel like a total idiot. But I was addicted. So instead of stopping cold turcket which I tried and never worked, I switched from cutting to ruber-bands. I would just snap it against my skin. Then one day, I stopped. It is really mind over matter. Just because you get depressed doesn't mean you have to hurt yourself, because that is how you start to cravings for it. Maybe the depression is caused by an outside source (parents, friends, ect.) and if it is, that is even less of a reason to hurt yourself because all of that you can change by standing up to the issue.
Your question is, what should i do? But you know that everyone here will tell you to "STOP", "see a therpist". You have to be willing to stop.

i had that same prob the exact thing happend to me my b/f found out after a while i realized how worried and concerned about wut i was doing so i gave him the razorblade i had been using and he told me to watch him throw it in the sewer and it kinda made me feel better after that every day b-4 and after school and he said if he saw my arm with cuts on it again he would tell my parents we broke up 3 months later but we stayed friends and it continued but after a while he only checked every other day it's been almost 2 years and i haven't cut myself since just depend on people you really care about and you know care about you to help you out i know this is long but i hope it helped

well, i think you should try to stop if you can, because it looks as though you might be getting addicted to it, like how people get hooked up on smoking or binge drinking. But you can try to release your depression through other activities, such as stress balls, or you could try writing or painting anything you can to express what you are feeling. by cutting yourself you're only causing harm to yourself. but if you don't mind can i actually ask you what exactly it is that makes you feel depressed? if it's personal its alright, but i think you should talk to your GP/ doctor. it is only by talking to others about what we feel or any other issues that we can express our feelings, and then hopefully findout how we can resolve the issue by finding alternative ways on how to handle things that upset us, etc. sometimes just by talking and sharing our feelings with other can make us feel better, and much lighter, i hope this would help, but i strongly suggest that you consult with your family doctor. but just try to think positive, take care though.

spend as much time as you can with people who have a positive affect on you. Best friends, boyfriend, family and a trusted adult usually do the trick. I had the same problem and my boyfriend almost broke up with me because of it. I ended up re-evaluating what was more important...him, or the razorblade. It was him, hands down. If you absolutely can not quit, i suggest telling an adult you really trust about it, and let them help you find a way to stop. I'm so sorry this is a real problem...and it's a hard thing to end. But I think you are strong enough to do it.

You should see a therapist.

i have been cutting for the past three years, up until i met my current boyfriend. he told me that he wouldnt talk to me and wouldnt go out with me if i didnt stop cutting. and i got really mad at him for it, but now i know he was only trying to help and would never hurt me intentionally. anyways, when you want to cut, try and find something else you can do to take your mind off how youre feeling, like watching a show or listening to music. or, do something that makes you happy, like painting. if you cant get rid of the emotions you are feeling at that moment, cal a close and personal friend that you can talk to about how you are feeling, write a song or poem about it, or write in a journal. i know cutting feels like the only thing that works, but its not, and there are many other things that work better. when you overcome this you will be a much stronger person.
