Your honesty and ability to see what you're doing and your desire to stop are admirable! Much as I believe that lots of people find good advice and help here on Yahoo Answers, I think that the help you need should come from a doctor and/or therapist!. I don't know how old you are, but you should probably start with your family doctor!. Share your concerns and ask for a referral to a specialist who can help you!. You have been pulling your hair and scratching yourself for a long time, I presume - - and you've done these things to avoid emotional pain!. This isn't like biting your nails or some other minor habit!. Please get yourself the help you deserve!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to keep yourself occupied with something else!! Try to do something else with your hands like snapping your fingers or write " stop it" on your knuckles to remind you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
hmm, yeah, that was like me when I started cutting, I ended up seeing a therapist and stopping because of him!. Maybe you should see a therapist or at least a doctor!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You would need to seek the help of a professional, I don't think this is something you could just stop doing on your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
