Im addicted to cutting myself?!
Question: Im addicted to cutting myself!?
I have been cutting myself for over a year i think, and lately ive become really addicted!. At little bit ago i had alot going on in my life and that was my main reason why i had been cutting so much in that period of time, but now that has pretty much stopped, but i still have really bad urges to cut myself!. Am i addicted or is it just habit or what!? I dont want to stop cutting but is there anything i can do to at least only cut like once a month, how it used to be!? i dont want cutting to be a big thing in my life but i dont want it completely gone!. I admit i have a problem and i have an addiction, but is there anything i can really do without going to someone for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey don't listen to any mean answers!. Cutting doesn't make you emo!. It doesn't make you a bad person and it doesn't make you stupid or a failure!. How do I know this!? I'm a cutter too!. Cutting can actually become an addiction because your body becomes dependent on it!. When you cut your body realeses something called endorphines and that's what your body becomes addicted to!. BUT your body gets the same thing from sports and surprisingly chocolate! Cutting is just a bad way of coping with you emotions!. And for many people who cut after a while it becomes almost like normal!. That's what you are thinking since you don't seem to totally want to stop!. Which I don't blame you for!. You have found this as a way of coping and you use it to feel better and I do too!.
I've been cutting for over 5 1/2 months!. I used to cut over 14 times A DAY!. I recently went 15 days(my record) with out cutting but I realpsed today!.!.!. My cutting has really taken a turn for the worse the past month I no longer just use a blade I use a SCALPEL! Sweetie you don't want your problem to get to that point!. So just try!. Eat chocolate when you get the urge or go play outside!. Go for that only cutting once a month and then when your at that day where you think you will cut today go another day with out and the urge will go away!. Just take it one day at a time!. If you want more info or just need someone to talk feel free to email me!. Hope you feel better and get over this!Www@Answer-Health@Com

"I dont want to stop cutting but is there anything i can do to at least only cut like once a month, how it used to be!?"
No!. Just like you can't be a reformed alcoholic and have one drink a month, or be an ex-smoker and have the odd cigarette!. If you do that your will will cave in!.
There is something you can do without seeking external help!. It will be very hard!. Just promise yourself you will no longer cut yourself!. Look on the good things that will come from this:
- no more scars
- no more scabs
- no more hiding scars
- no more hiding scabs
- no more risks of infection
- no more taking chances of seriously injuring yourself!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Why do you cut yourself !? Is it the common answer, you have a lot of things going on in your life that is making you unhappy and think that cutting yourself is a release from those problems !? Think about it, what good does cutting do !? Does it solve anything !? Make things any better !? No!. All he effects from cutting are negative!. Not to mention it is dangerous!. Everyone goes through bad stages in their life, and everyone deals with them differently!. There are right ways and wrong ways to deal with emotional upset and pain, and cutting is one of the wrong ways!. I can assure you, that eventually, your life will get better, and when it does, you will regret cutting!. Scars are permanent!. Yes, they eventually fade, but they never disappear completely!. On the other hand, problems are temporary and can be solved!. Do you want a permanent reminder of your past on your body !? Think about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The first time it's just a little cut, no big deal right!? you feel so much better, but then the pain comes back!. So, you do it again, a little more this time to let it out!. Every time you do it, it comes back faster - and you have to cut deeper just to let it out, just to feel better!. Not only are you killing your self, you're addicted to it!. I am very sorry you feel so much pain and that it has brought you to this!. But, you can stop it!.
