Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
its good that you want help and your doing something about it. im not sure of any places online that can help but talking helps so if theres a friend that you can trust talk to him/her. okay i know this sounds stupid but eating sunflower seeds helps me to let urages pass. so try that
i hope this helps. if you need anything you can email me.

You can look in the phone book for hotlines where you can remain annonomous. It is great and they may give you enough courage to tell someone to get you the help you deserve. Your life is worth living!!! I made this mistake please call a hotline. They won't make you do anything they will talk you through it.
feel free to ask anything else

I used to cut myself and who knows when I'll have the urge to do it again. Honestly the ONLY cure to cutting is wanting to stop more than anything.
One reason why we cut is because we can't find another solution to dealing with life. You need to find out another way to deal with your problems whether it be putting a pillow in your face and screaming at the top of your lungs or using a punching bag until your knuckles are bruised.
You have to want it more than anything and you'll stop. It's all about will. You CAN stop.

You need the help of a mental health professional. An online group won't help you at all and may give you more ideas about how to conceal the problem and keep doing it. Online communities about cutting and self-mutilation are almost always like that.
You have woken up to the fact this is a problem. That is an enormous step. Your next step is telling someone you trust be it your parents, a relative, teacher, guidance counselor, friend's parent that you are in trouble with this issue. You can either do this in a letter or face to face but you MUST do it to get well.
Nobody will yell at you, hit you or belittle you or punish you for doing this. They'll be happy you told them and will help you on the path to recovery. They'll make sure you get evaluated by a psychiatrist and are placed under their care and maybe given medication to deal with the feelings that urge you to cut.
You won't be put into the hospital at all unless they think you'll harm yourself or others (ie suicidal or delusional or violent). You need to work with your family and with the doctor at becoming well.
This is your health we're talking about and you can't screw around with it as it will always come back to hurt you worse if you don't take care of a big issue like this. You're only continuing the cycle of pain and misery by not telling an adult that you're in trouble and over your head. Do the right thing as I guarantee your life will be 100% better when you do or well on the road.

I'm going to answer your question with an online answer, but first I'd like you to hear me out.
As a somewhat recovered SIer, an online source isn't going to work. There's too much enjoyment in self injury and, just as any substance, it's an addiction that's difficult to break.
I strongly urge you to get help from someone. It is a lot easier to have someone to turn to. You could relapse, need a shoulder to cry on, a person to hug, etc. A computer isn't going to do that for you.
But, to give you what you've asked for...
