Question: Cutting myself!.!.!?
I've cut myself since 5th grade [im now going into 8th]!.
i used to cut on my arms, til in 6th grade everyone found out, and my bestfriend told the school counselor and she called my parents!.
They have found out other times then that but, all they say is stop so i don't listen!.!. i can't just "stop"
once they found out about my brother, they called the cops and got him help!.
So!.!. i've started cutting around my hips!.

i reallly understand how you feel --- I did it for years! I have stopped now -- I know that it is a release of pain / anger!. You need to ASK - TELL - SCREAM if you have to - but get help! I am concernedthat you said that telling your parents isn't going to help --- please believe me when I tell you that cutting doesn't help, it actually makes things worse!. I would never waste your time by telling you to stop, you won't until you are willing to get help and deal with the real resons why you are doing this!. I want you to know that there are places to go - teen centers, church (if you go), talk to the counceller, your doctoer (reeber everything you say there is confidential --- but you need to get help now! Cutting can get too out of control / and it sounds like yoiu are there!. Don't wait to be rescued --- go get help --- love yourself more than you hate the problems! there are no secret places to cut, and years from now you will be left with scars! Please Please get help --- you need to talk to someone! For me it has been 5 years since I have stopped! I am so very glad that I did!. I am left with scars, but I am still alive and allthough life has "pain" I enjoy feeling life, being in every moment - not masking it and hiding how I really feel!. Be carefull, cutting can be almost, well it is addictive! It is hard to stop, I had to learn other coping skills! Don't just give in and cut ---- start living --- ask for help now ----let me know please how you are / respond to this ---- we'll chat!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You know that there is no good answer to this question don't you!? I know that you can't just stop - it doesn't work like that!. I know that this is not what you want to hear, but if you are running out of places to cut you really should consider asking for some help!. Your parents love you but they are most likely terrified of what you are doing to yourself!. If you go to them and ask for help I'm sure that they will listen!. If they are not the right people to ask then you could consider the school counselor or your doctor as other places to go for help!. There are so many people out there who care about you and want to help you - they just need you to help them to help you!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't really know, but I'm like you people tell me not to but you just can't help it and they don't understand!. I do it in a place where no one can see it, because I don't WANT people to see it, people usually get that wrong don't they!? they think we want people to see it!. I don't like my upper arms so i cut there because its easier to hide but depending on your cheerleading outfit I don't think thats going to help really/Www@Answer-Health@Com

Read into your emotions about this, and figure out how to help yourself!. Accept offered help!. I'm not going to give you advice!. I couldn't handle that on my mind, and you aren't going to be shocked to hear that the fact you're asking for help to hurt yourself means you're getting in a dangerous way!.
I hope you appreciate I hope you'll get better!. It's just not worth it!.

Don't cut yourself!. if something were to happen to you, it would hurt a lot of people (even your brother, he loves you)!. If your having problems at home or w/e, talk to an adult you trust!. Maybe an extended family member, parents, teacher, councelor, anything along those lines!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you cant stop because you dont want to or because you are addicted to it!? either way cutting is just stupid !. ive experienced it but not to the extent of getting addicted!. find sth enjoyable to do in order to help you get rid of all this saddness!. cutting yourself might make u end up in a hospital one day and i bet you are young!. dont do this!. if you cant stop it then try reducing it until u do!. u might rate my answer as bad!.!. but thats how i think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have been where you are now, people telling you to stop is wrong!. It isn;t as simple as that, infact it makes things worse, and a tip for you, never promise someone you will stop because that can make you feel worse!.
Do you know why you do it!? I think you may need to see a psychologist about it, psychotherapy - like CBT does wonders for people who self harm!. It really helped me!.
I used an online forum and it also helped me!.
www!.nshn!.co!.uk
it is UK based but people from America, Australia and Europe also use the site, it is great help and can help you cut back (sorry for the pun - very unintentional)!. Please try and get help!. Tell your parents you are ready to deal with it but stopping isn't an option right now because - it is like an emotional addiction!. Print off some information from the website I gave you as it advises you on ways to approach adults - parents, friends and professionals about your problems!. Good luck!
EDIT: There is also advice on distraction tecniques and cutting less!. Drawing on your arm with red pen, and snapping an elastic band on the places you cut until the urge goes!. It is all about getting through the urges!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You've got what is knowm as "Teenage depression"!.
First off, use a rubber band!. I was told to do that!. I am in psycho-therapy for a serious mental illness!. Now, I am not saying you do and I also not saying you don't!. Just keep in mind, high school is just 5 years of your life!. Please tell your parents and then should ask your parents about seeing a shrink and if you have and they didnt help, seek another one!. This is VERY serious!. I still cut and attempt suicide to this day I started at 9 and I'm 20, almost 21!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to cut when I was about 15 because I just simply wasn't satisfied with my body and myself!. I used to have a super low self esteem!. I only did it a couple of times, but one of those times was on my arm, and it was super deep and super noticeable!. No one knew about it because I usually wore a hoodie all the time because I was so insecure!. Until I met my boyfriend!. He told me I would have to stop cutting myself, and that it was really unhealthy, and it honestly is!. I understand you can't just stop!. I still get the urge to cut sometimes even now, If I'm mad, or upset, and have no other way of letting my anger out!. If I were you I would try to talk about my anger!. One of my biggest problems was I didn't have anyone to talk to!. Once my boyfriend came along he was there for me to vent my anger and he helped boost my confidence in myself!. Now when people look at the ginormous scar on my arm they always ask me what happened!. I am too embarassed to let them know I used to cut, so I just make up a story that's usually something like, "We had this huge glass coffee table and one of my sisters friends broke it and a piece of the glass was sticking out of the trash and I walked by and cut it!." I don't know if they believe me or not, it really looks bad, but the thing is I am not proud of doing it now!. I wish that scar wasn't there, because it reminds me of how depressed I used to be and what a bad place I was in at the time!. If you have a best friend, then any time you feel like cutting call him/ her!. Talking to someone you trust can really help you cope with the feelings!. Remember, your family and friends love you, and that is why they are trying to help you!. Good luck!.
I know we don't know each other!.!.!. but if you ever need to talk then you can e-mail me!. Or if you have AIM!. It sounds like you might have self-esteem issues!. That was part of the reason I would cut myself!. It really helps to talk to people!. And it takes time to grow away from it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok make yourself a contract!.!. like no cutting more than once for 10 days then no cutting more than every other day for another 10 days then every other 2 days etc!.!. when you break your contract!.!. dont feel bad, dont feel like you failed, count and try to be proud of how many days you have actually stuck to your own promise, from that you'll feel a little better about yourself and that feeling grows stronger over time :-) if you have someone that you trust 100% you can make the contract with him/her!.!. trust me it does work a little!.
i used to cut my arms then i moved on to my hips cos of the same reason as yours, and then i ran out of places!.!. outta desperation i cut my ankle but everybody saw it, it was embarrassing, people tried not to make a comment about it :( i havent cut for a long time now like at least 2-3 months i think, i promised my bf that i wont, but the thoughts of it's really strong sometimes, so whenever they fills my head i try really hard to distract myself, like read, talk to a friend, listen to some loud music, eat, cook, take a shower, purge, exercise!.!. it has been helping so far!.!. i'm scared every moment i know i can feel better soooo much easier with a cut but i really try not to i make myself believe that there are better ways!.!.!. the majority of people can cope without it, why cant i!?!!!?!?! i know it's addicting it's a quick fix it's better than taking a long drag of smoke but no, eventually you're hurting yourself!.!. it's a vicious cycle :(
i wish my experience with it helps a little, i want you to know that you're not alone, we're not just some cynical punks, we need help obviously but help isnt always available :( i ALWAYS hope that one day i could wake up and voila! i can feel good about myself in EVERY way!.!.!. you know!?! :(
and as for your question!.!. i cut my fingertips, it hurts like a biiiatch so usually one cut's good, it doesnt leave a scar usually unless it's really deep, and if you bandaid it you can always say you hurt it by accident and people tend to believe it!.!. cos it IS easy to hurt your fingers!!
i really hope you will try the methods that i mentioned and try to cut less and less frequently, i know its hard and it sucks to lose your strongest medicine but hey!.!. you arent alone :-) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
oh yeah!.!. cherish's right, try the rubber band thing, my therapist and my dr told me about that too!.!. it worked for a little while but then i lost faith in it!.!. thing is, they said for this method to work you have to be consistent!.!. guess i failed myself :( but try it!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
