What to do?!

What to do?

what to do if you can't stop cutting and there is no way that helps. i have been to a therapist and stuff, but nothing seems to help, i can't stop

i cant control myself when i cut, its like i am someone else, a person that i cant control, a person that wants to kill herself

Try to find an alternative:
snapping an elastic band on your wrist
using red pen instead
holding ice
drawing ice across where you would cut
cutting fruit or veg (resistance feels like flesh)
slashing a rag doll & then stitching it back together
drawing on a rag doll with washable red pen, then washing it to do the same again
cutting wood
drawing on yourself with red pen, then applying red food colouring or fake 'joke' blood
writing a poem/song
writing a story of your life, including all your emotions
writing a random fictional story
writing down everything about how you feel
playing with /cuddling a pet (i find this really helps)
cuddling a teddy bear, squeezing it really tight
or perhaps punching a teddy bear
screaming into your pillow
drawing a picture of an arm (or wherever you cut) then cutting that (i find this helps a lot)
drawing a picture that just shows your emotions
talking to a friend on the phone - if it's a good friend they won't even mind if you're crying on the phone!
talking to people on here - ask for them to distract you

there are so many alternatives, you just have to find one that works for you - even if it takes time it must be worth it. please try to find one or use one of these.

Your therapist obviously hasn't helped you much - perhaps a different therapist would be good? also, are you on meds? if not, that would probably be a good idea.

Please feel free to email me if you ever want to talk.
Stay strong, stay safe.
