Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I don't have experience with this but some of my close friends did and I know how hard it could be. I think you should find activities that help you stop thinking or distract you from cuting. I know it could be really hard to tell people you cut without them feeling bad for you. Remember your not alone wish you luck and hope you find a way to stop (:

A therapist although they mean well and aim to help cannot do the work of a psychiatrist. This is what you need and NO you aren't nuts nor need to be to see one.
This is a mental health issue where an illness and a constant compulsion to self-harm is driving it. What you need is proper counseling from one a diagnosis and reason for doing this and a clear plan to combat it with medication.
What you need to do is see a family doctor and ask for a referral to see one or better yet visit an Emergency Room and tell them your history with cutting and inability to stop and that you really need support to do so. They'll have someone there on-call who can set everything up for you with proper treatment and send you back home. Nothing to fear tons to gain but you have to want to work with them and the treatment badly and I can see that you do. Let me know what develops. Hit my inbox up if you need further support.

Well, im not exactly an expert or anything, but if you're cutting yourself b/c you're not happy or something similar, then maybe try making a list of everything good thats happened to you at the end of every day. Even put little things on there like "we had pizza for dinner" or "my favorite song came on the radio" but also the really good things like "i got an A on my science test" or "i think my crush likes me" etc. Also, maybe try rewardimg yourself at the end of the week for not cutting yourself all week with something like a small shopping spree or just something that. I hope i helped and i really hope you find a way to stop!! :)
