You can wear rubber bands around your wrists and every time you feel the need to cut yourself coming on... pop the rubber bands against your skin until the urge begins to subside.
Mutilating yourself isn't the answer...Take up painting or writing they are great outlets for expressing yourself |

You should seek professional help. Run a search on the internet for an angency near you. You might also want to look in the phone book for a counselor or program that specializes helping people who hurt themselves. |

You could go to the psychologist and he/she will help you with your problem. you could also ask you mom or dad for help. |

You should seek help from a mental health professional. Right now cutting yourself is your way of coping with your feelings. A therapist will help you find another way to help you deal with your feelings. There is help out there. |

i cut myself from when i was 12 to when i was 21. i didn't stop until i started seeing a therapist and he said that if i continued to do it it would make him look bad. therapy cost a lot of money and i wanted to get out of there asap.
its not reality you're yearning by the sounds of it, it is control. try taking back some control of your life. find a friend who has supportive parents and see if you can stay with them for a while. call social services. try and get away from the psychotic parents. sounds like you have friends, it is okay to use them once in a while.
don't put the pressure on yourself to stop cutting. put the pressure on to take control of your life. the cutting will stop once you have control.
goodluck! |

i think the best answer for this question is to see some one u trust and just sit down with them and tell them your problem and y u do it. ex: girl in my school last year always cam to school with cuts on her arm. my good friend kyle went up to her and recomended her to see some one she trusts and believes can help her. over about 2 months the cuts were gone |

You should talk to a counselor. I used to cut and I got help for it. I still get urges to, but I wear a rubber band or hair tie on my wrist instead. That way I can just snap that and it makes me not wanna do it. |

I use to do the same thing. Now I have scars on my arms that will never go away. Try doing something else. go to a counsiler at your school they can help. or have yourself commited then your mother can not stop it and you can get the help that you need. I was institutionalized for a while but i am a better person now. good luck. |

If you have any relationship with your mom-even if it's not the best-you need to appeal to her maternal instinct. Write her a letter. Tell her you love her and need her help. Tell her you don't understand it all, but you are hurting and scared. Tell her without her help you can't succeed.
If your mom and you do not, or can not communicate, then find the next closest person who will help. A direct, honest appeal for help is hard to do-but it is also very liberating and the first step to getting better.
Good luck |

instead of cutting yourself do something that will not harm you, yet will leave the same sensation... like running your hand under a real cold tap... after a while it hurts... but it wont leave marks like cutting.... and go see a doctor, they'll help you and tel you what to do instead, thats wot they told me :) |

I'm so sorry to hear you're dealing with this - it's something I've struggled with for almost 10 years, so believe me, I understand where you're coming from.
It's probably best that you speak with a therapist about cutting, because together you might be able to determine your personal triggers and come up with alternatives to cutting when you feel anxious.
That said, it's never been something I've wanted to talk about with anyone. But alternatives are always a good thing. There are lenghty list of alternatives on these websites:

If you want to stop, you can stop. Good luck to you! |

I'm so sorry that things have gotten to the point where you feel like cutting. If you live in a neighborhood where you can do it, try going running next time you feel like cutting.
I also strongly suggest that you find someone to talk to, weather it is a friend or family member, or clergy person, or if you're a kid, the school guidance counselor. Talking about whatever is bothering you may help you to release some of the tension so that you don't feel like cutting yourself to begin with. Whoever you talk to may also be able to talk to your mom and maybe convince her that you should be seeing someone, which is not a bad thing to do. Acknowledging when you need help and trying to get it is a very mature, responsible thing to do. If you can't find anyone to talk to, even writing down what you're feeling may help some.
I really hope that you are able to resolve whatever is bothering you, and I hope things work out alright with you and your mom. |

You really & truly need help. Did your mom tell you she wouldn't take you? Also you have friends but can't leave the house? What about when you're out of the house? Talk to your school guidance counselor, a teacher, a pastor (even if you're not a church member) or another responsible adult. You need this help and if you can't get it & your guardian won't provide it there are definitely alternatives.
In the mean time, pray. Pray that God will allow you to have the strength to carry one 5 more minutes without cutting yourself. Then promise yourself you will wait 5 min. When that 5 min. is up, tell yourself you'll do it in 5 min., then wait. Keep doing this as long as it takes until you can put it off for 15 min., an hour, up to 1 day. Then continue doing it 1 day at a time until you are free. But get some help and get it quick! Just don't give up. I'm in your conrner, praying for you as well. |

If you're a student in a public school they will have an on site psychologist. . If he's good then he can help you, and he can't tell your parents that you are seeing him. Also, if it's for the sensation and not to see the blood, but a rubber band around your wrist. Every time you feel like cutting you can snap the rubber band as hard as you want. It gives the same sting. Also, if your mom doesn't believe mental illnesses are real, show her your cuts. |

You need to get some professional help. Cutting is a serious symptom. It is unhealthy. Not only could you possibly get infections from the cuts, but one day you may cut too deep or the wrong place. There are so many alternatives out there for relief. Believe me every moment of your life is real, whether you are cutting or not. Please talk to a counselor, your parents, someone. |

You need a therapist who deals in self injury. If you don't you won't have the key elements to quit. It's not easy to stop on your own, not without some good support systems in your life, and for your mother not to understand that in itself is not a good one. Good luck |

Don't cut your self cause if you hit a vain you will bleed to death. |

See a theropist or a doctor, sometimes talking to a trusted adult helps or talking to someone that really cares enough to listen and try to help you. Something i've heard of is putting a rubber band around your wrist and pulling it every time you feel like cutting youself, but that sounds cruel to. So I would recomend just going to a doctor or theropist because even though some people don't like them they can help. |

hey sweetheart--you need to seek professional help. go to your counselor at school. tell them the whole thing and they will do their best to help you. tell them about your mom not thinking mental illnesses are real. that's a form of mental illness itself. get help. tell whoever you have to to get that help.
my mom sounds a lot like yours. i didn't have 'problems' i was the way i was to get 'attention'. real people don't 'have' mental problems, they are just doing that for 'attention'. 'no one in this family is going to see a doctor for THAT! what would everyone say?' 'you're just acting this way to hurt me! why do you never appreciate anything i do for you?' 'NO, we're not going to go see a doctor! what would that do to your father?'
'you just don't care about anyone but yourself'
have you heard all these answers? i was an adult before i was able to seek mental help for my depression. been medicated and good for over 2 years now. thank God!
please---go see a counselor or call family services. you need help and its criminal not to see that you get it. don't wait till you're an adult to get help like i did.
best of luck to you. if you need to email me, go for it. i'd love to talk more if you need to. |
