im 13 & i have been cuting for 2ish years & i have been trying 2 stop on my own for 5 month or so

i have cut myself before. but only when life was so bad i couldnt take it. i would never say i was addicted to it. there got to a point that i did every day one week, and my boyfriend noticed. it made him feel really bad, like he wasnt a good boyfriend and he did something wrong. that was my first thing to stop. i couldnt do that to him. i couldnt let him down. he was an exilent boyfriend. so i got all my sewing needles (what i cut myself with) and threw them out. then i got a black hair band and wore it around the wrist and arm that i cut on. and any time i wanted to cut, as soon as the thought crossed my mind, i thought of his face and how sad he was and popped it as hard as i could. every week that i didnt cut i would reward myself with something, a new shirt, a new pair of shoes, a movie, an icecream, anythign i wanted. i always kept a picture of my boyfriend (one of the main reason i wanted to stop) by me, in my wallet, by my bed, on the fridge, in the living room, even as the walkpaper on my computer.i also kept a journal about why i used to cut, why i stopped, whats making me stop, what im doing, the great things in life, what i did that day that made me wanna cut and just everything. i even kept the reciepts of what i bought for myself when i did something good and put it in there. after about 4-5 months i didnt need the band. and every month that i wouldnt cut with out the band i would do something even bigger for myself, paint my room, spend a whole weekend with my boyfried doing nothing but fun, skip my collage classes to go to a party, and stuff like that. i also started going to the gym and took yoga and tykwandoe. it helped me calm myself, learn self dicipline, and get my anger and frustration out. finally after 1 year of no cutting, i went on a one week cruise with my boyfriend, where he proposed. things are alot better now, and i havent cut in 5 years, or ever since i decided to stop. and im glad i did. i hoped i help and some of the things i did you can do to and try to stop the habbit. good luck and take care.
