how can i stop cutting?


Question:
i started cutting a while ago. if you see my other question you'll understand why, but someone noticed and told my teacher! she rang my parents and told them and now they're suggesting a psychiatrist! but its become almost addictive now..i can't stop! what can i do?

Answers:
cutting is super hard to quit, ecspecially once youve gotten in the habbit of doing it.

im 21, and ive been a cutter since i was 12. it sucks. i hate it. but its what i do when im super sad. i dont have any family, and i get really depressed a lot of the time because of it.

but think of the long term effects: scars.

scars are gross looking. i have a ton of them, and i wish they were all gone. theyll be with me forever.

although im still a cutter, i try to resort to just crying, or talking to my best friend.

its not worth it.. trust me. its really sad to know other people are doing it out there, ecspecially the younger people. it truly breaks my heart in ways most people wont understand, cause they havent been there :(

You have already taken the most important steps- knowing that you need help.and asking for it. Be courageous and accept the help your parents are willing to help you seek. A psychiatrist will help you if you are open and honest with them; soon you'll be feeling better about yourself! It will be difficult, but you are worth it!
GET SOME HELP. OR IF YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE THEN CUT YOURSELF SOMEWHERE THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE IT
THROW EVERYTHING AWAY!! (THAT U CUT YOURSELF W/) i used to do the same.. throw it away. it helps promise. goodluck!
PLEASE go see the phychiatrist. Cutting is basically taking the fear, anger, and things like that, that are internal and getting them on the outside. You really don't want to keep all the pain inside, so you do it by cutting. My daughter used to do it. She got the help and has been fine. GET THE HELP!!
