Help Me Stop Cutting please!!!?!
Question: I started cutting myself last week god my life is just not working out the way I would like it to. No matter hoe hard I try I can't turn it around. So I'm cutting now just so I know that I still have a sense of pain. I'm sooo numb with all these emotions. I just don't know how to stop.
I use scissors not a knife I don't cut so deep that I'll die just enough to feel pain.

Please DO NOT descrimigate against me... I just need some help on how to get my life back together

You need to change how you see the world. It's easier than you think. You need to find a few ways to cope with the depression, that's all.
Diaries are good. Every day be sure to write down 5 things that went RIGHT, that you're grateful for. Meditation can help, so can positive affirmations. All three are ways to choose what your mind thinks about. If you take control of your thoughts, and choose not to feel bad, believe it or not, you can drive depression and suicidal thoughts away.
You know how if you try you can convince yourself that you feel sick? It works the other way too, you can convince yourself you feel great.
MEDITATION FOR DUMMIES is a good book, THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING is another. Your local library should have both. If not email me, I'll suggest other ones that are good too.
Try this. Remember the cursed diary in HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS? Write a cursed diary. Think of a negative thought or bad memory you want to get rid of. Feel it like a dark sludge stuck in your head you want to get rid of.
Feel the sludge ooze out of your head, down your arm, and out your hand as you write about the memory onto a piece of paper. Write the memory or thought until you feel the sludge has poured out of your body into the paper. The paper holds that evil thought now.
Take the paper holding that thought and destroy it. Tear it up, burn it, scatter the ashes to the wind. That evil thought is now gone from your mind and your life.
Trust me, it works.
So will this. Lay down in a quiet room, close your eyes, and take slow deep breaths. make each inhale and exhale last as long as you can.
First say to yourself "I feel my toes relaxing." and they will. Then say "I feel my ankles relaxing" and they will. Go all the way to the top of your head until you reach the top of your head.
Imagine that as you exhale that red smoke it blowing out your mouth as you exhale, taking away all the stress with it. As it goes out of you, you'll feel your body getting lighter.
Just lay there, calmly breathing, blowing out the stress, for about 20 minutes.
I hope this helps?

O:
REHABB!!!!!!or do somthing else tht feels better idk go masterbate or sumthn
oh god. EMO. listen, its not hard. Throw away the scissors. Go to some one you trust for help. Life doent always workout the way you want it too.
hey well i used to cut myself like 2 years ago. the way that i stopped was that i talked to my friends and also get a blank notebook and write all ur feelings on there. Thats how i stopped and it worked. I thought of goin back but then i relized what would my friends think of me doin it again so just talk to someone about your problems or write them in a notebook and when that book is done throw it out.
Your body mind and emotions are out of balance you really need to talk to a professional see your GP and he will start the ball rolling as you have made the first steps of seeing that it is self mutilation and you know you have to stop so keep going.Life doesnt deal us the hand we want but it is up to us to make the choices.Life was not meant to be fair.Best wishes
Please stop. Even if it is for the good of those around you. You matter to countless people and may not even know it. They need you and if you are not there...what will happen to them. The same way you turn to certain people, how would you feel if they were gone. Call your best friend, a sibling, or a parent. Talk to them, they love you and want to help anyway they can.
If you need anything else, please email or im me. I'm here for you :)
i know exactly how you feel but i wont be much help cause i've been cutting for over a year and i still cant stop..
people say just stop... but its not that easy at all..the longer you go.. the harder it is to stop.. and the deeper you cut.. i'm on a roll now and i havn't cut in 2 weeks... and journaling my feelings (writing them down) has been a good way to let out the pain... so it art. but i suck at it
the best of luck to you
Go to a counsellor. If you are preventing yourself from cutting to deep, you are asking for attention. Your life not turning out the way you want it to is a poor excuse. You are the ruler of your own life and you roll with the punches. Life isn't all fun and running among the flowers! If you don't experience the rough times, you will never realise how good life can be.
i used to be a cutter just to feel something real in my life......you need to get some help....maybe prioritise your things.....talk to some ppl to help you.... i used to cut with a razor and so did my friend...we realized it wasnt the way out.....please as soon as you think you cant turn it all around....you usually cant....if you need more help...contact me privately....everydaynikki@yahoo.com
First of all you should seek professional help! Use distraction techniques. Go to a safe spot. Communicate your feelings with someone.
Some techniques we utilaize in patients who cut are..... Get some ice (frozen water) grop in tightly in your hand to cause pain. It releases anxiety, inflicts a small amount of pain and is non damaging.
Another technique is a rubber band around your wrist, flick it when you feel like cutting (similar reasoning as ice).
Keep a diary.
Overall u need to get some help for your feelings that are causing you to cut.
All the best
Tell someone. I had the same problem, but I didn't cut myself. I was so sad about my parents. Their screaming, nosyness, complaining. I couldn't take it anymore.
I emailed a former teacher who moved to another state this year. I told her my porblems and she freaked out. I went to the school counselor's and talked. I feel a lot better now.
Why do you cut? There must be a reason. Friens Problems? School? Family? What?
You might be able to stop. A week isn't that long. You can stop.
If you want help, talk to somebody. BUT don't tell them about your cutting problem. When you heal problems that cause you to cut, you might stop.
I know how you feel.
Please get help. You can email me if you need any more help.
sounds like me! i do tht to and i completly understand wat it feels like for ur best friend not to care... mine almost seems like she is trying to make me more miserable! ive tried to stop but if i go to long i hve apanic attak! so if u stil think u cn stop, stop b4 its addictive!!
