so, like, probably about a month ago i started cutting myself. now, i can't stop. it has turned into an addiction. i can't hide it anymore, i wera like tons of hair things on my wrist, but it still doesn't fully cover all of the cuts and if one accidentley moves, people are like omg what is that?! and i always tell them i axcidentley burnt myself. and i have been going to the doctor ALOT lately because i'm really sick and they don't no what is wrong with me and so they always check my body and stuff, and i have been getting I.V.'s and stuff and the nurse just pulls up my sleeve and see's it and looks at me then just acts like she didn't see it because she no's. so, i have been trying to stop, i really have, but it is so hard because i like to do it so much. it's not like im really doing anything bad to me, they are harmless little cuts that barley bleed, so what i really want is to no how to hide them! anyone who can help will be well appreciated! thanks.

For a long time, she wasn't herself and as a friend it was scary to watch her go through that. Instead of trying to find ways to cover it up, you need to stop. If you have no idea how to do this, I would definitely recommend telling a good friend you trust. Thats what my friend did. She told me she needed help. So just friend support and someone there to encourage you and be there for you will help a lot. There is other ways to relieve stress. Take up a new hobby, or new sport. Any activity to take your mind off of it. I know you can get over it, I watched my friend heal and you can too. Good luck. [ ADDiCT3DTOHiMx's advice column | Ask ADDiCT3DTOHiMx A Question ]
1love1life answered Sunday February 10 2008, 7:22 pm: Cutting yourself isnt cool girl! You need to stop. It doesnt help you in the long run, trust me i know because i watched that shit distory my bestfriend and i felt so helpless because she wouldnt listen to me and stop and she just kept cutting and now shes just not the same person anymore. So as a person who has seen a person go threw this i really would appreciate it if you just stopped. and dont say you cant because you can. you just have to believe you can. i hope you decide to stop. i really do.

nmggrant answered Saturday February 9 2008, 9:37 pm: kipjoyner-thats wrong....it's not like she does it because she wants to!!!! It's a disease, manic depression/bi-polar. You need to get help, professional help. You cannot stop this on your own by pure will power. My sister does the same thing, cutting herself to releive stress and anger...Never cutting deep enough to hurt herself but enough to know its there. You realy need to tell someone that your doing this because if you don't, you won't be able to live a normal life. But, in the end, you have to want to get help...Doctors won't be able to help you unless you help yourself by being honest and telling them what is going on. It's very sad to see someone suffer from this problem. I spent three years yelling at my little sister about it because I thought that she was just doing it for the attention, and I regret that...she had a serious problem venting emotions and needed help, as it seems that you do too.

kipjoyner answered Saturday February 9 2008, 11:21 am: That's horrible! You shouldn't be cutting yourself! It may seem like it doesn't really hurt you, but in the long-run it REALLY does! You need to stop this now! [ kipjoyner's advice column | Ask kipjoyner A Question ]
orphans answered Saturday February 9 2008, 9:24 am: If you don't want anybody to see the cuts --don't cut yourself-- there is no other way, unless you are planning to wear long sleeves, hairbands and intense amounts of coverup on your wrists for the rest of your life. And you ARE harming yourself, even the smallest cut indicates that you are hurting yourself, your hurting yourself physically AND emotionally. You are trying to convince yourself that cutting is nothing bad, and that even though you barely bleed, nothing is going to happen to you...but one day you could cut youreself to deep, and then what? You shouldn't hide your feelings, speak to someone, tell them what's going on. This is not healthy, and I know that what I'm telling you is not what you want to hear, but you have to talk to someone, you have to stop inflicting pain upon yourself. You have soo much more to live for, cutting may take the pain away temporarily, but in the long run, all of your emotions are there, always, unless you stop and seek help.
If you need anymore help or anything just inbox me, please do the right thing :]
