so dont judge me please because I just want to break my wrist so that hopefully that pain will stop me from cutting for a while. 14/ f by the way.. and so i want to know some ways that i can break my wrist! Please help!!
I won't judge you, I get what you mean. There are other ways to stop cutting. I went through it for about 6 years and since I didn't get help for it, it just got worse and I'd want to do stupid things just to make myself stop.
I'm just going to advise you to talk to someone. Cutting is one of the hardest things to stop by yourself. Maybe talk to your parents or a counselor, even go see a doctor. They'll help you find better ways to deal with your problems.
In the mean time, try to find other ways to cope with your feelings.
I'd say go to a gym, exercise, dance, ect because that releases endorphins, it'll help you relieve stress.
What helped with me was writing in a journal when I was really upset. It would pass up time and eventually after I let it out, those feelings would pass.
Do things that help you relax. Like take a shower or bath, paint your nails, face masks, anything that makes you feel relaxed.
The number one thing I want to remind you is that the feeling to cut is impulsive. If you give yourself time, the feeling will pass. Remind yourself of that.
adviceman49 answered Friday July 26 2013, 10:44 am: As you can see by the first two advisors no one is going to tell you how to do what your asking us for. The reason for this is two-fold.
First: it is not helpful for what is really bothering you.
Second: We will never tell anyone how to harm themselves.
I'm old enough to be your grandfather and if you want to rate me 1 go ahead in your case it won't bother me. Just please read what I am about to say to you for I only have your best interest in mind.
You said; "hopefully that pain will stop me from cutting for a while." This indicates that you cut for the pain the cutting brings on and now that pain is not enough. I know you said differently. You cut because your in pain and you hope the pain of the cutting will help blunt the emotional pain you feel. That pain is pain of depression and is very real.
Having suffered with depression myself I can tell you that depression causes pain and pain causes depression. It is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken before you can start to feel better.
I cannot tell you why you are depressed. The two biggest causes of depression are stress and trauma. The trauma can be physical or mental. Have you suffered any type of trauma prior to you starting to cut. The emotional trauma could be the death of a close loved one.
There is also something the doctors call teenage depression which is in a manner of speaking a problem in dealing with puberty as well as other factors unique to teenagers.
As much as I would like you to talk with your parents about what is bothering you. I know how hard that may be for you. There is an alternative. It is a hotline called; "Kids Help Phone" their number is 1-800-668-6868. I am also including the URL to their page on depression. IF you see yourself in any of the symptoms listed and you feel you cannot speak with your parents. Then please call their hot line. Their professional call takers will talk with you as long as you need to talk to get you in the right place to ask for help.
If after reading all this you don't want to talk to them, won't talk to your parents and still want to hurt yourself. Then please call 911. They will send help to you. Just tell the call taker what you wrote to us. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
kittenlover2000 answered Friday July 26 2013, 7:31 am: You rated my advice as a 1, as suspected.
You can kill yourself by cutting. Blood contains heamoglobin. This is oxygen. Lose to much of this and you die.
If you therefore think this is STILL an acceptable way to go on and live your life-then you do indeed need a counselor.

Hon, if your problem with cutting is taking over to the point you want to break your bones to stop you NEED to tell someone, write it down, do what you have to and get adult support.
Your parents will support you believe me and want you well. It's a mental-health issue. If you get medical attention for it you can get well and it in control. It takes a lot of guts to say something but you need to. Look at what it's making you consider doing to try and stop. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
