How can i stop hurting myself?!


Question: How can i stop hurting myself!?
Wow i honestly don't know how to both say and ask this!.!.!.!.
Umm well the reason why i put this question up is because i have been cutting myself for half a year now!. I don't know how to stop and i feel so stupid but it makes things better at the time!.
The main reasons why i posted this is because i haven't been able to tell anyone and i need to tell my best friend who also uses this website!. So this is the only way i can admit my stupidity and problem to her!. I'm sorry Debbie :(
Also, i asked on here because i wanted to get proper advice from real people!.!.!. not text book instructions from health websites!. There's no way i can tell my parents or any counselor for that matter so PLEASE don't suggest that :)
I plain and clearly just want to stop before someone sees my cuts!.
Tell me how!?

Again, i'm sorry for being such a coward and a sick moron but i need help badly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello Zach :)
Well why the heck didn't you tell me!!?!!?!
You know you can tell me anything :]
Well i can't actually see why on earth you'd want to do that, but i shall do my best to help:]
Your not a coward!!! At least your not a moron that whinges or keeps quiet:) So nice work:) This and doesn't come as surprise, but at the same time, is a surprise!. I don't know why, but i'm shaking right now and i have no idea what to write, but this being the internet i have no idea how to put thoughts into words!.
I honestly couldn't give expert advice, not being a professional person thingy and all, but no matter what i love you!!!

Don't be sorry, you just have some life issues, (your mother / father don't live with you ,they hate you,abuse you,getting bullied by others, etc!.) and the cut thing weirdly enough , feels kinda good, I KNOW!. You need to see SOMEBODY!!!. This thing can take off and get a life all it's own ,leaving you in the dirt of a broken life!. If you get a chance ,come back with more info on your life ,anon ,of course!. God bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to cut myself about a year ago when i was severely depressed!. I know it does make it seem better but if a parent were to find out it will kill them inside, try finding other ways to cheer youself up!. Maybe listening to music, distracting yourself with anything! Www@Answer-Health@Com

asking for help is the first step!.to your friend,i say be understanding,and encourage anonymous help as a start!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your not a coward, in fact you're very brave and stronger than you think for realising you have a problem and asking for help is a good sign that you want to change!.

People often feel a sense of release when they self harm and i have a friend you did this but needed a little help to over come it as a lot of it is trying to find a new way of dealing with stress!.

I know you don't want to but counselling really is a good idea as a lot of the brain needs to almost be re-programmed if you like to find a new way of doing things!.

One thing my friend said did help was to use a red felt tip instead of a blade on her arms!. I know it sounds strange but the red represents blood and that's how she got her "high", seeing the blood so red represented that!.

I wish you all the luck in the world and i'm sure your friend will be a great support to you, think about getting professional help though as you can't do this alone (remember it's in confidence and they can't tell your parents)

GOOD LUCK AND STAY STRONG!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
