Cutting
I have been dealing with it for four years I can't stop I have tried so many times. Nothing helps I have tried almost everything (therapy, Snapping a rubber band, Writing where I cut, Talking to someone, Writing, Etc.) but nothing has worked...Any helpful tips?

First off, I'm very sorry you have to deal with this. I have a friend who used to cut and I know it was hard for her to stop. Maybe what you can do is find everything you could possibly cut yourself with and make sure you keep it away from you. If it takes you longer to find something to cut yourself with, it may prevent you from doing it. When you feel you are about to cut, try to stop and think about what you're about to do. Distract yourself as much as possible- watch tv, exercise, go for a walk-get out of the house and away from anything you could possibly harm yourself with. Try listening to music or taking your anger out in a healthier way..screaming, punching your pillow, whatever it takes. Cry. I know you said writing where you cut didn't help but what did you write? Try writing the name of the person who means the most to you. Look at pictures of your family or friends. Try carving into a soap bar. It'll release some of your pain and upset. What are you most passionate about? Think about that when you're about to cut.. think about the people who love you and how much you're hurting yourself. If you ever need anything, I'm here. I really hope this helps and that you can stop. I know you have the strength to and I wish you the best of luck. You're an amazing person, you can do this..I have faith in you. If you ever feel like you're about to cut, you can even come on here and tell me all about what happened to make you want to do it..it'll allow you to vent and distract yourself at the same time.
