Cutting
whoever out there..somebody: I need help! REcently I just started cutting again because I have done it a little bit in the past. I reall want to stop but I don't really know how. I just don't approve of myself and it feels as if my life is going downhill. I need some advice and if anyone out there has done this before and quit- please tell me how you did it.
Thank You!

I'm 18 and I'm still struggling with the urge, but I haven't done it in a little less than a month. I've been working on it. A friend told me that when I feel the urge to cut, to go get a piece of ice out of the freezer and hold it on the spot until the urge goes away. She got this from a phsychiatrist who told her this. Quitting has a few steps that you have to go through. I know you have heard most of these, and you probably don't like hearing them, I didn't either, but it helped me.
1. admitting you have a problem with something of yourself which is causing you to cut
2. after you realize your problem, seek theorapy. this is the best thing for you
3. find another way to cope with your feelings the ones that cause you to cut. a healthy way
4. seek additional help, like hanging out with friends who love you. doing this should help you.
I really hope this helps you, it's helped me. You can email me if you want more advise.

u cant really just stop, it takes time. something that helps is too look in the mirror and say "i cut myself". i hate admitting that i do because i feel ashamed but the shame helps to let urges pass.
hope this helped

i think that it might help if you told me your reasons why you went down the cutting edge road so if you ca send me a message or even a feeback i might be able to help because everyone has a reson for there wronge doing and normally helps to know thwe situation...

I used to cut. Now i got better, and i never do it. When i do feel like cutting, I put a rubber band around my wrist and slap it.
Or, I take a red pen and draw lines, pretending they are scars.
And i took my mind off of cutting by getting my hands busy by playing video games and typing.

think deeply and ask yourself, why is your life is going downhill? what did you do tthat cause you to feel that way?
whatever it is, no matter how big or small, forgive yourself.
it's no use meddling yourself with the past or the present in any case and remember cutting just hurts your further, physically and mentally.
the more you cut, the more you get into the process and thus lead to damage.
i've cut before and i stopped because there's so much things in life that you can look forward to.
yes, there are obstacles in life and that's the joys in life. learning to overcome those and passing the next stage.
i remember still about all those obstacles i have to push through. i keep telling myself that if i cut, the pain would remind me of something surreal and maybe, i can cheat myself out of my situation. but that won't work.
you're a wonderful person, if you want to believe or not, and you could only be the person to save yourself. one obstacle will never kill you, it'll only build yourself up.
for those people that let themselves down, there are ALWAYS different paths, NOBODY how dark it is down the tunnel.
i've been there and i'll be there to watch you come back.

The only treatment of cutting is to always look on the brighter side of life. Never compare your life to other people because she can be the prettiest girl out there or the smartest but it doesn't mean she doesn't have her own problems to deal with.
I once read, we get what we deserve. So do you really deserve those scars? I used to cut too and I overcame it by not putting myself down. That's what you need to do.
