Please help yourself, quit, if you want, you can IM me or email me if you want to talk to someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Basically you are self inflicting on yourself!. The cutting is a way of helping you deal with emotions like stress, anger or sadness!. Do you feel a little better or somewhat relived when you've finished cutting!?
Anyway, it is something that is frowned upon, which is why as you said some guys stopped liking you!.
What you have to be careful of is the dangers, where you cut and how deep, could be the difference between life and death!. If you cut too deep, you risk losing a lot of blood!. And if you cut a vein accidentally, you may as well say goodbye to your life, if you don't get help asap!.
So stop, instead of cutting, you need to find another way of dealing with your emotions, of releasing them!. I strongly recommend that you do counciling!. It may be a bit tacky when you start, you may find you have trouble talking about your life to a stranger, but it does get easier!. By talking you will be able to get those emotions that you've built up inside of you, out!.
Good Luck:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you need to stop

You need to ask yourself these Questions:

"Do you want to get better!?"
"Am I going to accept the help and take the road to recovery!?"

If you answer yes to these questions go to your parents right now, tell them what has been going on, and on Monday morning you need to call your doctor and discuss antidepressants and counseling and if you don't believe in drugs then you need to go to your local mental health facility and ask for help!.

Recovery only works if you want it!. Depression does not run your life, depression is only a part of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

deal is that you vent when you cut!.
you need to find sometihng
that can fill in that empty space
and get the same pleasure you get
when you cut!. you should stop
for the welfare of your friends & your family
because obviously if the counseler knows
someone out there cares about your life & health
also as hard as it is to talk to people aboput your problems you should talk aboutt it wiht osmeoone it really does feel better i used ot have alot of problems and the worse thing to do is keep it bottled up and then just explode and let it out by cutting, so i think you should stop, hope my little speech helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sweety you need to stop!. I used to cut myself and it messed up my family, friends and others around me!. I would tear people down with me and I didn't even know it!. I was like you I only cut sometimes but one time I took it too far, I cut the wrong area too deep and I knew about the main veins too!. Wear a hair binder or rubber band on your wrist and snap it every time you have the urge to cut and if you do have the urge to cut play some music or something and take your mind off of it!. I started throwing things :] but that didn't work!. Just please stop, I realized how dangerous it was when that happened to me!. I don't want anyone or any ones family and friend to go through what I have and what my family has because of something stupid I did!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i use to cut myself to!.!.!.and it doesn't solve anything!.!.!.!.ya it may help for a little bit but it doesn't make the hurt and ur depression go away it just makes it worse!.!.!.i stopped and i found a friend that i could trust and tell everything to and now i just go talk to him when i have a problem or im feeling down and it makes me feel better cuz i don't have to deal with the problem myself!.!.!.he can try to help me too!.!.!.!.and so i think that u should try to find someone who will sit down and listen to everything u have to say and will always be there when u need them!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know lots of people that do it!. I can understand why you would do it!. but it can be lifethreatening but i guess when you are depressed you dont care huh!. i have been there!. what i do when i am depressed is i usually smoke weed!. i know thats probably not to much better but it's not as dangerous and hey everyone does it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, you're not really solving your problems, just adding to them!. When u feel down do something else as a diversionary tactic ie take up a hobby or sport!.!.!.boxing could be good to take out your feelings on a bag!!! Take a walk or write some poetry & post in on a blog to express your feelings instead!. My sister use to bite her fingers till they really really bled everywhere!. She was told to start wearing pretty nail polish & nice rings so she could see how pretty her hands looked when she stopped attacking them!.!.!.!.it helped her to find other solutions to her problem!.!.!.!.!.maybe u could also try something similar!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used to cut myself too!. theres nothing saying you have to stop but if youre not ready to die then take into consideration that you could cut too deep or slip and kill yourself so be really careful with it if you dont want to quit but its probably best you did!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should stop!. I mean you have a world of oppurtunities!. This will hold you back!. Everytime you want to cut yourself, just think about somehting better!. Think about a vacation that was so much fun or a funny family moment!. Don't cut yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
