why havent your mom tried to help you
ugh im sorry you get yelled at for it. thats not fair

ok i highly suggest you find a counselor or self injury/teen crisis support group in your area your reaching out for help obviously which is the first step to achieving help and getting better

my name is suzy. im 16 yrs old. i am here anytime you need to talk
i have a friend who died from cutting. i miss her so much. i wish there was more i could have done to help her, but she didnt want help. she didnt hink she had a problem

and then she took it too far
and she died

Eh that was a bit dramatic.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your friend. However most cutters cut to feel pain not to die. I have been cutting for about 5 years now.

Sometimes it is better than others. And for me no counselor or therapist helped. Not saying for a moment that they wont work for you. But it is your own pain, your own fight as it were, this is how it was to me. I have scars all over both arms, legs etc. I am not proud of them, but i am not ashamed of them either. They remind me of the pain i enjoy feeling. The feeling that i am alive.

For some this is an exercise in control, often rape victims or abuse victims use this as an outlet to exhibit some form of control over their lives. I hope this isn't but if this should be your case then therapy should help. If you like me just enjoying feeling alive then i really have no other words to offer you as i have tried to stop many times. Sometimes it will be a month sometimes 3 days. But i will always be a cutter. It is who i am.

I have come to accept it really, and take alot of precautions to protect myself with disinfectants etc. I also did some research into major arteries etc and steer well clear of those. As i have no wish to die. More of a drug to me really.

Go seek your help, i hope it works for you.
IF you ever wanna chat just drop me a PM.
Cheers

I'm a former cutter, but it's never truly behind you. It sits there waiting for you to get to that point that it seems like the only way you can really be okay. It's the only reset button that always works. But you need to convince yourself that the trouble isn't worth it. Glance down at your scars that will follow you into every relationship, every friendship, every job interview. Realize that adding more to your pallet is only going to drag up problems which plagued you for years and people finally think your okay. So find a way to stop thinking about what you can use to self injure, and realize that despite the lack of control in your life. Despite how upset you are at yourself at others at life. It's not worth releasing for just a few minutes, because it doesn't just release the pressure it releases hell into your life yet again. So if you can't really be okay, fake it for those around you until you can be okay.
