How do you stop cutting yourself for good?!
Question: How do you stop cutting yourself for good.?
I've been cutting off & on for 4 years. I wish I never started b/c now I'm addicted and can't stop. I've tried soooooooo many times and always start cutting again ): The last time I tried to stop I did not cut for 3 months. I got in a fight with my dad on friday and I started cutting again. My best friend wants me to go to a rehad center or ranch where I can get real good help. Idk what to do. I'm 18 and tried everything.Health Question & Answer

im 20, and ive been cutting myself on and off for about 6 yrs. its soo hard to stop for good. my marriage almost ended over it, and i havnt done it for about 3 months now. its realy hard to stop, but you have to believe in yourself. Someone told me that many ppl have hurt me in the past, so why do i want to hurt myself on top of that. yeah its a quick fix for the moment it happens, but the problem is still there after you stop bleeding. I dont even know why i am answering your question, cuz i really dont have an answer. Im trying to find it myself, but if you really can't stop, you should get counseling. but i bet your thinking that part of you doesnt want to stop, and your mad at whoever is trying to take ur cutting away from you. I feel that way all the time. I did some research on cutting, and im trying to stop, but its very difficult, i know. so i guess what im basically saying is your not alone, and you CAN fight if you believe in yourself.
if you feel the urge to cut, go find someone to talk to immidiatly, or pick up the phone instead of a razor or knife and talk it out, or just force yourself to cry. let everything out.Health Question & Answer

A good way to stop cutting is to go and get yourself a counselor, they really do help. Just make sure that you get a good one because some of them can be really crappy, but if you do end up with a good one they really can help you stop cutting yourself. I wouldn't recommend going to like your school counselor though, they really aren't that good. I know this will sound bad but at rehab centers they have some perfect counselors there to use to your advantage.

Have you ever tried talking to your parents.? They would probably help find a counselor for you faster than you could on your own. If not talk to a counselor in school or start looking in the yellow pages and make some calls on your own. There is some counselor that will lead you in the right direction over the phone. Now, take the time and pick up the phone, your going in the right direction by asking here and you have the will to fight, you just need a little more help. Just like we all do at times in our life. Good Luck and you can do it!Health Question & Answer

I know what you are going through... In a way. I lost my best friend due to cutting. She was addicted, just like you. One night she couldn't stop and she was rushed to the hospital. She died that night. When I found out, I immediately became interested in this program call To Write Love On Her Arms. I don't know if you have heard of it, but they are amazing. Very inspiring. Look to them for advice. They won't help exactly, but they give you advice on where to go. I promise, everything will be okay.
Good luck. Email me if you research them!Health Question & Answer

I used to cut all the time when I was upset and over whelmed and it ruined my relationship with my boyfriend and threatened to ruin the relationship with my family. Talk to someone about it its sooooooooo common u have no idea. You're definately not alone. But most importantly be happy, if your not unhappy you wont cut yourself. Find that good, happy place in your life and stay there, don't let sad/bad things get to you. If its that hard to stop ease off slowly, think 'this time im not going to cut myself' and then less and less everytime u get upset. Seeing your best friend knows maybe instead of cutting yourself ring her.Health Question & Answer
