Answers:
Im not exactly sure how to approach this but i will try my best:

I can understand how one can see inflicting pain as a way to relieve themselves of pain, in a strange sort of way!. But what you have to understand is you will be left with these scars for the rest of your life!. Many times, they don't go away!. When you get older, you will have to explain to people like grand kids why you did this!.

Whenever i get upset, i turn up my music and tape lots of paper together to make a poster and just attack it with paints!. i make hand prints, write lyrics on it with my fingers and cover my arms, face and legs in paint!. being interactive in something can distract your mind and turn it into a positive, creative way of taking out your anger!.

though counseling would probably help, sometimes its just not what you want to do!. it can be embarrassing and kind of well, lame!. instead, try typing things out in an angry or sad fury!. you could do free-flow poetry where all you do is write what is on your mind without deleting anything--even if your train of thought changes without warning!.

i hope i helped a little!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you think cutting yourself will change your life, cut away!.

Or you could not focus on yourself all the time and look around!. There is so much to do that one life is not long enough!. Whoops, you can not be as selfish as you are and do that, that wouldn't be about how miserable you are and your "misery" is the whole world, right!?

That homeless man should understand that you cant help because your life "sucks"!. That child who is sexually abused by her stepfather will know you cant help because there is "no point in living"!. Maybe that starving dog in the alley will overlook your indifference because " you have to do the same thing everyday"!.

Maybe you should go back to your room that someone works hard to provide you and play some more video games!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Counseling is suggested as most often the cutting is a transference of emotional or psychological pain that the person has difficulty coping or understanding with to a more physical one that the person is more familiar with!. Speaking with a professional will help you work through the stressors and develop skills to move beyond them without resorting to the unhealthy behavior of self-harm!.

The goal of counseling is not to "solve your problems" but rather to develop your personal skills to understand and move to a healthier resolution through the assistance of a professional so that you can then do so on your own!.

You make your own choices including cutting!. If you want something different out of your life, try it committing yourself for just one day at a time !. !. !. !. talk with different people, listen to different music, eat totally different food, don't watch TV, stay off the computer, try to smile all day even if you feel lousy, greet people as if you really like them, do some volunteer work in a setting where people have significant needs, etc!., document your experiences in a journal, and keep trying new stuff including not cutting yourself!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. then drop us another question in a month like "Dude, why did I ever start cutting!? Was I afraid to take a risk and really do something different!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
