I am a cutter myself and I am so very vain. I have the worst cuts on my wrist and now matter what anyone says I DO NOT DO IT FOR ATTENTION. I have pain no one understand and I know you dont do it for the attention either. If you want to stop then I suggest starting small.....start with a rubberband on the wrist or growning a long fingernail and pushing it into your skin when you want to feel better. I have tried to stop (only because I didnt want to be different or have scars on my wrist, becasue on my vanity) but these things can work. If that still doesnt work then try thing to take your mind off of it like working out or hanging out with friends. If you dont want to be around people watch funny movies till you feel better. It helps it you dont have a sarcastic attitude about it because sometimes happiness is all you need. I know it sounds lame but I tried it and it worked.
Chuck Norris will help you
im sorry hun i think you do it for attention
Go see your Doctor!
Get psychological help
don't be emo
Rubber Band on wrist. Snap it every time you feel the urge. Eventually, you snap less and less. Until you don't need the rubber band at all.
just stop i know that may seem hard but if you really do care about your life and stuff then stop watsing your blood over depression and if you care that much then stop and if you dont i guess ull just die.
sorry hun thats the truth

I always thought you can stop cold turkey ... But perhaps a real MHT can help you out there with some quality advice .
Think about what everyone would think about you cutting its really not worth it. Your harming your body and that is good.
I really don't know what to say to help you because I don't know what kind of situation your in but I hope for the best you stop. ;]
Think about all that blood you have to clean.
go see a doctor and go to therapy. it wont stop on its own unless you are doing it for attention. and its not worth it.
Cold turkey, Find another outlet mine was video games especially first person shooters - I could let all my anger out by shooting people virtually. When you get that urge to pick up a knife or a razor go do something healthy instead.

O i am really sorry but one question Y i mean how can some one hurt you some much that you do that i am really sorry all i can say is i will pray for you

you have to figure out WHY you are doing it.
for some reason it seems to be a trend amonst teenagers as some kind of a fad. for those, they just need to grow up.
for others they're doing it to redirect the pain they're feeling inside. that's the hard one. you have to deal with your feelings and find out what's bothering you and what you can do to change your life.
It depends on your reasons. But either way you should talk to someone. It's not a healthy thing to do, no matter the reasons, and even if you aren't doing it to kill yourself it's not hard to make a mistake. If you hit an artery you can bleed out in under a minute.
You should talk to someone. It doesn't have to be a therapist or councillor. It can be a close friend or relative. Someone whom you trust and are close to. Someone who can give you advice.
Either way, you do need to stop.
sounds like to you have depression and need counseling or some meds. Lexapro works well with people that have this condition. Go see a doctor.
im having the same issue right now.
get to your doctor even though it may seem uncomfortable and you want to hide it but it will help you.. even go to a psychologist they help you i promise... you could cut in the wrong direction, too much and die and please dont do that to yourself. i know its hard but try distracting yourself with music or dont lock your self away by your self go to a friends or go somewhere. i hope this helped!!
Make a contract with a close friend or family member. In the contract promise to call that person before you cut. So at the first urge to do it, you call and let that trusted person have a chance to talk to you. Choose the most supportive, loving person you know who is also very strong and willing to hold you to your end of the contract. If you break the contract the person has the right to tell you they won't be the one you call any longer. Also, if you've never gone to a doctor about this please, please do. You really need help to learn that getting attention in this manner is harmful and in the long run will leave you a very lonely person, as not too many of us out here can put up with this sort of behavior. If you went 3 weeks without it you can beat this nasty habit for good.
I'm no therapist...but i'll try to give good advice:avoid watching any violent shows/pictures or being around anyone who will make you upset. let yourself know that people do care, even though it doesn't feel like it.
whenever i'm feeling depressed, i write poetry.
or i just sit in my bed with the lights off, rethinking the day.
working with your hands(like fiddling with clay) may help you too.
either way, good luck. and i hope you find a way to stop.
Think about all the good things you will be missing out on,for example all that deliciouse food and all that sex,and your favourite tv programmes,and new ps and xbox consoles that are coming out in the future,think about how sad your friends and family are going to be when you do a selfish thing like that.I heard that you go to hell if you commit suicide and its a fact,but if you die naturally you go to heaven.so just think about all that,goodluck...and dont do it
If you die, won't your family miss you?
Cutting is a ritualistic behaviour that becomes addictive..I have been there before myself, so I get where you are coming from. I know it's hard, but I strongly suggest that you talk to someone, anyone, that you feel comfortable with about this.Therapy is a good idea, it really helped me, and can help you deal with overwhelming feelings as well as help you develope self-nurturing/coping skills to replace cutting..- take care
promise your self that you wont do it.. thats the only way.. is if you want to change so bad.. you just have to do it your self. it dont matter what other people tell or think of you.. you just have to want it enough to make it happen.
Ive been there before and the only thing that stopped me was a promise to someone who i knew i couldnt let down because of fear from the concequences now ive been free of it for almost 2yrs
is it just me or do these tipes of questions just make u feel worse kauz there are some people who just have to be mean.... its best to talk to someone u no and trust.... let out all ur feelings... trust me it helps!
