I cut. I don't even know why, but I do. It's not an attention thing, please don't say that. I am so ashamed of this and I need help stopping. I wanted to know if anyone here could give advice on how to stop.

I used to.
I quit.
I'm not sure how or why..

But I managed.

My best friend once told me..
"It's too late for me."

It's not.
It's never "too late" for anyone.

If you work hard, you can stop.
Anyone can.
With support, it'll go all the easier.

Now here's my advice on how to:


I think that first you have to realyl want to stop.
And it seems you do.
So, that's good.
Because if you don't WANT to, it'll be useless the help I try to give you.

Now, I gave this really neat speech to my other friend who used to,
but I lost that email, unfortunately. So I'm going to try to recreate it..

For me, I just found other things to do.
I read a lot. Or I'd go on the computer.
If I was angry, I'd wait a little while to cool off before I'd use the weapon.
And after I cooled off, I lost the urge to.
And if I was sad.. I'd just sleep.
Or I'd post somewhere on Gaia and just drone on..

Make a list of things to live for. Of things that make you happy.
Memorize the list. Recite it every day.

Occupy yourself.

Put what you use in a really complicated place to get it.
So when you do want to use it, it's liek a treasure hunt and by the time you get to it, maybe you'll have rethought it.

I'm not so good with the advice.
But, if this doesn't help you, I can go more in depth.

Forgive me for my terrible advice.

i used to.
it got so bad i was cutting a few times a day and i needed stitches for many of them. It was utterly out of control and i was terrified of what i might do next time i got urges.

eventually i got hospitalised. i was in a acute (locked) adolescent psych unit for two months, and only after my discharge have i been able to break my cutting addiction.

i highly advise seeing a counsellor. often problems like these are out of your control to help them, so another person's intervention or advice is crucial.

feel free to PM me if you wanna chat or anything :]

I've never been a cutter, and have only known one...

Cutting is a way to relieve the stress in your life, by the boost of adrenaline you get from the pain you are causing yourself. It makes you feel invincible, and better essentially.

If you help, someone to sit by you and help you then things get better. Most of all if you have someone to talk to, who will understand you and not tell you it's too late, that helps substantially. All you really need is a friend, to stand by you. Maybe even see a counselor as long as you can talk to someone.

In some cases cutting is a cry for help and attention. For some reason or another you need to be noticed, and this for some reason is the only way to get you to be noticed. Though it's not the case for everyone...
