After reading so many replies to this topic and others, I actually realized that I perform s.I. I didn't even take it into account that I was, and it's quite odd, but I use my cats.... When I play with them and they bite and scratch my arms. I noticed my arms when I was reading all these post, the scars from the cat scratches. I have so many, I always play with them to and after I stop my arms and hands are always scratched up. I can't believe I didn't even realize I was doing this...For almost like 5 years now I think....Geeze...

Yeah, I know what you are going through. I'm a 13 (well, 14 tomorrow) year old teen, and I cut my self constantly. I started only about 10 months ago, and I can't stop. I've only been able to tell one person about it, and even then I couldn't bring myself to tell the complete truth. I think I might have a serious problem because i've tried to kill myself at least 5 times since I was 12, and I just need some help. It seems that no one cares about me, and I just can't relieve the pain without cutting. Can somebody help me out????? :(

Hello. Some people cut just to feel (like me). I don't want attention. I just want to feel the pain and look at the blood flow out of my skin. Yes, it's very addictive. So I try not to touch the razor, because once I do, I cut myself tens of times before I can put the razor down.

Forever_cutting66, I can't say I know how you feel because I really don't, and saying that would be a lie. One thing I know for sure is that you won't be willing to accept the help of a psychiatrist yet, or will you..? Anyhow, I want you to know that there are a lot of people who care about and love you. Look, even I care about you. If I didn't, I wouldn't have posted this reply. =)

please don't kill yourself. Do you have a dream..? Everytime you feel like killing youself, think of your dream, and that if you died, your dream can never come true. Your dream could be simple, for example, I want to enter university. But I can't if i'm dead. I'm sure you have dreams, like owning a porsche or flying a plane. Think of things that make you happy.

If you can't stop cutting, make sure you use a clean razor. Not one which is all rusted up and covered in dirt. Email me if you need someone to talk to..

Responce to *rin*- Youre Not Alone

youre not alone in wanting to stop cutting yourself. I am 20 years old now but when i was your age i was cutting too. i was doing it mostly as a cry for help because my father was abusive. im not sure exactly how i stopped cutting myself, (most of that part of my life hard to remember) but i think my poems helped. I just started writing all the time about what i was going through. I dove into writing headfirst and kept going. it also helped me finding where i belonged in high school. I joined the band, because thats my passion, and finding out that i belonged somewhere and i was not a useless person like my father made me believe i was, made me feel better.
here's my advice: take whatever youre in to... and make that the most important thing to you. try writing. if thats not your thing, try painting or something artistic. even if youre not good at it, try it. artistic activities open up the abilities controlled by the left side of your brain and greatly releases stress and anxiety.
just try it out. hope i can help

I started cutting at 14, and I'm 17 now. My mom found out about my problem back when I was 16, and she promissed she'd get help for me. I never told her that she was mostly the reason why I did it. My mom physically abused me as a child, and now all the physical abuse has turned verbal. She never did get me the help I need, and it's been over a year. Whenever it comes up, she says it "slips her mind".
Hopefully, if I get a decent job, I can get my own help...
This is my first post on this forum, and I feel like I have a bond with the people here, just by reading their posts. I don't have to explain anything to anyone here... It's like you guys already know. Smile

Depending on how understanding your parents are this might work but only if your ready. Last year my parents found out and checked me into a phyciatric hospital and it help for a little while. If your parents found out somehow, maybe even without you telling them, they wuld probably rush to get you help. No one like to see their loved ones hurt, especially if it's self-inflicted. Good luck (:
