Question: How to stop!.!.!.!?
Sorry!.!.!.i've asked loads of these questions lately and really appretiated all the feedback!. I've also tried a lot of the suggestions people have given me but seriously NOTHING seems to have worked!

Anway the problem is self harm!.!.cutting, burning and scratching!.
I have cut down quite a bit!.!.!.i only do it once or twice a week now!. It's just it seems that when i'm not doing it i just seem to be thinking about it all the time!. When i'm out with friends all i can think about is that soon i will beable to go home and self harm!.
I know that it needs to stop and ideally i would so to the GP and get help that way but i can't!.
Are there any other suggestions other than talk to a friend, elastic band, icy water!?

Answers:
Well, in order to stop doing something like that, you have discover the main reason why you do that!. You have to be completely honest with yourself, and discover the heart of the problem!. Now I don't know exactly why you started doing that or what causes the urge to self harm, but I believe that there's something that triggers the urge to self harm!. And I think you have to find out what the trigger is and fulfill that part of your life or make yourself satisfied with the way it is!. Either way, you got to fight the urge to self harm because eventually it will stop if you make up your mind to not do that anymore!.
Also, I really don't know what you can really say about your cuts to your friends but I think the best way to approach it is to be open with them!. Don't care about what they think or how they react, just let them know about what's going on!. Tell them that you have a bad habit of cutting yourself and maybe they can help you fight the urge to self harm, if you're really close to them!. The best way to approach it is to tell them the truth cause if you don't you will end up digging yourself a bigger hole!. You can say that or you can just say to them that you feel sick and can't go with them!. Just remember, the more secrets you have, the less free your life's gona be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your friends whats going on its allot more common than you think!. If they are true friends they will try and help and trust me you need it!.
I wish you all the luck in the world!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here is a small exert:
Self-injurious behavior can exert a sense of control over your body if you feel powerless in other areas of your life!. Sometimes magical thinking is involved and you may imagine that hurting yourself will prevent something worse from happening!. Also, when you hurt yourself it influences the behavior of others and can manipulate people into feeling guilty, make them care, or make them go away!.

Self punishment or self-hate may be involved!. Some people who self-injure have a childhood history of physical, sexual and emotional abuse!. They may erroneously blame themselves for having been abused, they may feel that they deserved it and are now punishing themselves because of self-hatred and low self-esteem!.

Self-abuse can also be a self-soothing behavior for someone who does not have other means to calm intense emotions!. Self-injury followed by tending to one
