Hello,
I am a former self injurer!. I know that the behavior can be a relief, or release of bad feelings and emotions!. I know how addicting it can be!. I was a self injurer for several years!. I am "in recovery" now, and am in therapy and taking meds!. I will tell you this: It feels MUCH BETTER to deal with your issues in a positive way, than to cut or any other self injuring behaviors!.
And cutting in the shower will cause you to bleed more than you would otherwise, and I DO NOT recommend it!.
There are more positive alternatives to self injury!.

Hello sweetheart,
I've seen this before and believe that you are in need of people telling you not to cut - you wouldn't be posting this question otherwise!.
You know we're not going to tell a young girl how to cut herself, we're meant to help you dear!.
It is far easier to fix this rather than just start cutting - once you start, you will keep doing it and believe it is the answer to everything!.
I will never forget the night when one of my best friends rang me screaming down the phone because she went too far with her cutting!. She ended up in hospital because her cutting had gone really, really wrong!. The scars will never go away, she will live with them for as long as she lives!.
Please don't end up that way!.
There is nothing wrong with getting real help and just talking to someone!. Cutting is temporary relief - talking is the first step to getting control and getting better!.
Speak to someone - anyone!. If you'd rather talk to a doctor who will have dealt with this before, then do so hun!.
Don't ruin your life with something that doesn't really help and will harm you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to find an alternative to cutting yourself!. It can require stitches, promote infection, and it's just plain dangerous!. No one in their right mind would offer you a solution to your question!. Instead seek out some healthier ways to overcome stress and emotional pain!. Do you like sports!? Try boxing, or weight lifting!. If you have to use a violent alternative, stab and massacre a phone book to shreds!. Use some commodity in your home, like plates, etc!. and smash them all with a bat!. Just don't harm yourself or others!. Self-harm will not fix your problem, it only complicates and extends the problem!. Also, I would suggest you hook up with a therapist to work on the issues that have caused this learned behavior to surface!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
