Question: I really need help on stopping my cutting!. Not criticism please!.!?
I'm going through a lot of crap right now!. I never want to get out of bed, i ditch school, blow my friends off, etc!. I just started cutting 3 days ago!. And i've been doing it twice a day since then!. I feel soo much better about everything after i cut!. but I know i'll end up addicted and unable to stop!. I cut on my hips so its really easy to hid, so that's no incentive for me to stop!. I really don't want to tell my mom but i have told one close friend!. Please help me!. Oh btw the friend wasn't much help because we're only 14!. Oh and i'm not having thoughts about suicide either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I used to cut too, I know what you mean!. I never told my parents about the cutting directly; I couldn't stand disappointing them like that!. I did ask them for help with my depression and eventually I got help!. I was actually hospitalized for my cutting, by my choice!. I was 16 at the time!. 10 weeks later I felt 10,000x better!

When you feel like you have no choice but to hurt yourself, try calling a very close and supportive friend!. Try journaling; just get your feelings down on paper! It can really help focus and get rid of those feelings!. Playing guitar was my last resort!.

The feeling will pass if you can just hold out long enough, whether your on the phone or doing whatever else!. Don't be by yourself!.

Talk to your school counselor or your parents!. You need help!. I'm worried about you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i realize things are troubling you and you don't know what to do about it!. that's why you started cutting yourself!.

you need to tell an adult you trust!. it sounds like you depressed and need a lil help from a doctor or counselor!. this is nothing to be ashamed of!. lotsa teens experience it as well as adults!. depression can cause a hormone imbalance in the brain and meds recreate the balance!. it may take some time so don't expect a "bandaid fix"!. also you need to figure out whats behind the depression so you can deal with it!.

cutting is not the way to go!. i'm glad you asked for help!. now go for it!. tell your mom also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
