So as in you are a cutter or as in sucidal?
GOD KNOWS I hope it is not the latter. If suicidal, think of the one person you will scar for life with your actions, please don't do it, you will break that thread of life between you and that one person that loves you.
If it is the former, have you tried to understand what it is about cutting that satisfies that void inside you? Do you hate yourself that much?
I understand the type of self-destruction, and I am not trying to get all religous mushie & stuff cause I don't associate with those types but I read my old testament and find the stories teach me life lessons and help me a lot to love myself more. Many, many years ago I was a self-puncher, and so I am just telling you what helped me stop.
Pick a sport that you can suffer with, most endurance sports will do - cycling is a good one. Ride hard and feel the pain, climb hills and feel more. See where the bounds of your suffering can go. Expel your depression through effort. See how intense you can really be - cutting is a shortcut to real suffering. Climb a steep hill until you vomit and then you will know true suffering, and it feels great! That's what men are made of. Don't take the easy way out - lazy suffering is for the birds. Get to know real pain and intensity. Channel the depression and anger into your body and see how much you can take.
Best of luck
