can anyone please help me with self harm please?!

I know exactly how you feel, I've been there but you CAN stop :)

Try drawing stuff on your arm like butterflies and stuff so you can't cut cos you're kill the butterflies - sounds lame but works! Or try writing the names of your friends on your arms, to try and motivate you to stop.

Keep a diary whenever you feel upset/the urge to cut and write down all your thoughts and feelings, this way you may discover a pattern of when you feel like you want to cut and thus it may be easier to find a solution.

Listen to music, even if you can't concentrate of the same song for more than one minute its good because it's covering up and pushing out of your head the thoughts that are telling you to cut.

Try self-help websites: there are loads out there with lots of useful tips, some of which have really helped me and I've just put :)

If the problem continues I would suggest going to the Doctor's where they can give you specialist help and guidance for you to stop - maybe there's a support group in your area!?

I hope this helps and remember: there's a light at the end of the tunnel! :)
