Addicted to cutting

You should consult. Its the only option, do it, I know you can.

Honey you and I both know the cutting doesn't take your mind off..The cutting is just something else that hurts you..Burning is not an answer either..

You need to talk wioth your parents, councelor someone that you trust so that you can get all your feelings out..

Use a diary to wirte your feelings, run, bike, do arobics, kick boxing anything to use that energy in a positive way..

You are the only one who can stop you! You are 13-it is hard enough being a teenager-remove the blade from the equation period..k

babygirl35-I am glad you got help and feeling better..Thank you also for posting such a postive post..k

sweety i am 30 yrs old and i too cut myself, when i get the urge to cut i grab a rubber band put it on my wrist and snap it as hard as i can. for me cutting is a way of relieving the pain i feel, so buy snapping the rubber band as hard as i can helps because i am subsituting one pain for another. i hope this works for you. keep your head up.

Hi Mariaponce01, I had thought for a while that the rubberband was a good idea but the problem is just that a subsitute that hurts..Honey I am not putting you down please believe that..I just hate that one pain moves to something else and for some it''s onto soemthing else much worse..

The need to get away from self pain all together and the need to learn to deal with all the aggravation and outside world pain differently..That is why I push exercise hard to get past the cutting, rubberbands and burning..In a way hard exercise is a pain in itself but it is one that gives back to us a stronger body..Mentally a person tires out after a good hard exercise and pysically as well..

It would be so great to one day see that the self injury was non existant..THere is way too much in this world that can hurt us if we are not careful-we don''t need to do it to ourselves..Self injury is allowing what ever pain began the self injury to win again..Self injury allows the bully, the abusive husband, uncle, sister, mother, child to be one up on us..A self abuser accepts what happens to them and tries to find a way out in the way of being able to control something-their own pain..So why not control it creatively by exercise..k

hi guys,im 13 aswell and cut myself badly i almost killed myself,so one day i decided to stop.Sweetsunshinelove your not alone you have alot of people wanting to help you,please talk to somebody that you trust and believe me its not your parents AT FIRST parents are always ready to reasuure you but talk to someone your not emotionally attached to like a teacher or something xx

I am 14 i also cut a lot i actually carve words into my arm. For all you people that say it doesnt help... It actually does. Sure its not something to recomend or start but it helps you feel better. Talking to an adult makes peoplenqant to cut more. I would know. Just if its getting to the point it nonstop bleeds, alk to a parenent.. Isont want any one dying. If you're addicted to cutting you stop the addiction like any other addiction, time so give yourself time and limit yourself to number of cuts per week. Ihope ican help i love you all your beautiful smile<3

I'm 15. And I have the same problem. But it's not the answer. Go to twloha.com. I found hope there. <3
