I Cut Myself And My Mom Took Away My Blades. What Do I Do?!
Question: My mom found all my blades and took them away. She told me that if I ever cut myself again she would send me to rehab, which would not work out because I don't even need to go. My cuts are not severe. But, I still need to cut. Lately I have been sticking a safety pin in my skin. I don't bleed but I want to. My cuts had slowly got deeper, but not too deep, which makes it harder to quit. I really want to keep cutting but if my mom finds out, I will be sent to rehab. I don't want that. I need some suggestions. I don't know how to get my hands on a blade unless I ask some friends or steal one, then I would have to hide it VERY well. Someone who suffers from self harm too, can you please give me your opinion. Is it worth it?

Instead of plaguing an asker with "omg u nd rehab," try to help them with the question that they asked. Kathleen is happy with her choice, and doesn't want to go to rehab or a mental institute. It's not up to a bunch of people on an online forum to tell her how to run her life. She asked "is it worth it." The answer to that question is only yes if you truly cannot live without it. Otherwise the scrutiny of your parents will become stressful as well.
It's like when I gave up smoking. I felt so hollow without it, like I had nothing to do and my life was meaningless. I felt the same when I stopped cutting. They weren't big parts of my life but any kind of stress relief is ten times harder to get rid of than another habit. You rely on it. I would, on principle and out of experience, tell you not to. Being scarred physically can come back to haunt you. But a scarred relationship with your family is just awful. I am the voice of experience here :).
I wish you the best of luck, and want you to know that I am always here to talk if you need help. Mandobobjet@yahoo.com. I also have Yahoo! Instant Messenger.
you have to stop. put a rubberband around your wrists and flick yourself hard as a substitute. try that.
No its not worth it, just think what you have got in life, one day if you do carry on cutting yourself, you will end up killing yourself, and you will regret it big time.
what;s with all these suicide questions tonight? get some help please!
Grow up! Just because you want something doesn't make it OK. Give this cutting thing up and move on. Make it a memory and you can laugh about it one day, or become a statistic. Your choice, but your mom is right and you should listen to her. She's been around a bit longer than you and knows more, whether you admit it or not.
Please, Please, Please get some help for this. This is not right at all. As much as you don't want to go, you must! You'll be so much better afterwards and really see how awful you've been to yourself by doing this.
You obviously are craving some kind of attention, weather from your mom, or others, but the best thing to do is to just tell them so!! if you need to be sent to rehab, so be it. maybe your mom can get help on how to deal with your problems and hopefully you will both sort it through and things will get better.
There is no real reason to cut yourself, no matter how hard things are for you. it will NEVER BE WORTH IT. think about how much you are hurting your mom and other people? is that really what you want? if it is, you need to sort through your problems, and fast, and go to rehab! things can only get better from there!
See a doctor.
What you are doing is dangerous to you. Your mom is right, and you do need to go to rehab.
stop.
plz. stop. everyone will tink u r wierd. ppl make fun of other ppl for that. don't do it. u will be mocked by everyone. ppl will want to say that they don't want their friends to b like u
Good ******* lord. If you are going to "cut," do it with the full intent to kill yourself. Otherwise it is pointless.
I used a box cutter to try to off myself the other day, and it nearly worked but as usual, I fucked it up. You'll find something, trust me. I've used scissors, knives (why not just jack a knife from the kitchen, for christ's sake?!) and various blade-sorts. Just ******* off yourself, and quit with the "relieving the pain" bullshit. Grow up and get over yourself.
Draw on yourself with an ink pen. Hold an ice cube tight in your hand until you can no longer stand it. You don't want to go to rehab-trust me.
no one can stop you from cutting, no matter what. you have to be willing to stop & from personal expericne, NO ONE should ever take your "tool" away bc you most likely end up getting something worse. check this video out. its something you turned to when things seemed bad? take it easy hun.
why would you cut yourself if it hurts..... how dumb
