I need serious help!!?

Question

okay, I slit my wrists once because my friends pressured me into it. Now I cant stop!! I keep doing it to reveal pain but now my mom is suspicious and took all the knives away. I grap nail filers and press hard into my skin. Can anyone give me and idea how to stop!??

Answer 1

My advice comes from personal experience so ... I hope it helps. I used to do the same thing but I wasn't pressured into it by my "friends". First find a councellor who you feel you can trust. Second find something or someone who is more important to you than cutting and decide if it's a THING that every time you cut you go ... a week without it maybe. If it's a person PROMISE to them that you won't do it again because they need you to stop. I know it's not right to stop doing something or start doing something for someone else but it's a start. Sometimes you might give in until you find the right motivator but there will be longer and longer times between the instances that you cut. I have scars everywhere and now that I'm pregnant I have to tell people that the scars are from an accident. You don't want to have to worry that someone will find out and find you "unfit" to be a mother in the future. I worry about it all the time. Find SOME WAY to motivate yourself to stop. It'll help. Trust me.

I would say that u should talk with your mom. There's no better therapist that your own mom and if not ... well, the in that case get some help but pelase do so! Life is worth living althoung sometimes is hard ther would always be a reward the problem is that people are very unsatisfied and always want more but remember the basic... such as u are a creature made by Jesus and he loves u soooo much that u can't even imagine. But if u want i can't help , if u need to talk with someone!:)

You need to get counseling now. This has gotten to serious for just ideas. Please seek counseling but you need away to relieve your anger and everything else that's built up in you. . take up writing in a journal and maybe running or jogging. Expressing yourself by writing should help a lot and expressing yourself through anything like that including painting. Try boxing even. Anything that will release the tension your body is building up. Exercise is the best way to achieve this because when you exercise, just like when you orgasm, your body will release endorphins that will make you happy. It's like a natural high.

I hope these ideas help. Good luck.

If you need someone to chat with feel free to e-mail anytime. If you don't know how just click on my picture and it'll give you the option of emailing me. My best friend was a cutter, I helped her and I'd be happy to help you too if you would like it.

"Cutting" is fairly common from what I understand. Go to your local psych/mental hospital and tell them you want to admit yourself. They will learn everything about you without the pressure of the presence of your parents. THEN they can call the parents and talk to them alone and tell them what you need. This type of facility specializes in issues like this. Much better than your general practitioner ect. They will tell you how, you will join groups of other people with the same compulsion and just knowing you arent the only one that does it is a start. You have to WANT to stop though. As long as you WANT to stop and there are people to instruct you how to, you can.
Good luck and by the way......think really hard as to why you are doing this. Getting to the bottom is PARAMOUNT to stopping. like this: you keep falling off your bike. No matter which way you turn, how many pads you wear or different style of helmets you keep falling off your bike. When you realize its because you dont know HOW to ride a bike and you take the steps to learn, suddenly you wont fall off anymore. Get it?

In order to stop you have to find out why you do it in the first place. In most it is a cry for help and attention. It is also something you are in control of and you like that. No matter what your parents say, if you are like most they just makes you want to do it all the more. You already know it is bad or you would not have written asking for help. Sit down with your pastor if you have one and if you don't you can always go to your local church and ask to talk with him. You need someone to talk with on a one to one basis. I will tell you about my son, when he was in Jr. High he started hitting his fist in a brick wall knuckles first when he was angry or showing off or just to get attention. Of course he lied to me for a long time, it was always an accident. He broke his hand several times and has arthritis and nerve damage in his hand that will be with him forever. It pains him all the time. His right hand is larger than his left and his knuckles are always dark appearing bruised. He is 27 years old with two girls of his own and he wonders how he will tell them how stupid he was in school, just trying to fit in. Life is about choices and many times we make the wrong choice. You are lucky though, you have the choice to change your life right now. I suggest, you start, by stopping...Stop hurting yourself everytime you get the urge, pray and say over and over"Lord Help Me, He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world." if you repeat this, if you mean it, if you own it, You will stop, because He will be with you and He will help you. Good Luck

This is a serious condition. I can't think of the name off hand, but it seems that you like to self-mutilate yourself. Are you ok? Did something happen to you and that is why you are covering the pain inside of you this way? I would talk to someone as soon as possible. It could be a pleasure thing, it could be a chemical in-balance, it could be a number if things. The good things is that you admit you have a problem, I don't think you want to kill yourself, but I do think you need help. Good luck to you.

Answer 7

my suggestion is to go look at sites about cutting. type in "self-mutilation" into google or something. a lot of "how to stop" stuff depends on why you cut (wake up senses, control, attention, etc.) quitting is hard because it's addicting. but you can do it. if you're ready to stop, good luck. don't let anyone tell you you have to stop. it's not their problem. it's only going to happen when you're ready. i hope it works out for you.

Answer 8

okay first of all if your serious you have got to be kidding me. sorrie. well i mean slitting wrists may help relieve pain but think of the pain youre doing to your self. i mean scars for the rest of youre life, explaitions for the rest of your life, jobs you have to hide that from. i mean if you need to reliefe pain i mean put your energy into something you love doing. or hit a pillow get lotss and lots of paper and cut that if you love cutting soo much. but stop while you have a chance its just not cool its dumb. for real think of what it is causing instead of right now. in the future it is going to cause a lot of hard ache. get scar serum or scar zone and start putting it on NOW!!! and think of paper cutting.

Answer 10

The best thing to do is talk to somebody in your family, a counselor at school, or a therapist. One of my kids tried it, too. Cutting is a serious thing. You need to be smart and don't do all the things your friends tell you to do. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Be your own person and respect yourself. The things you have to look forward to in life are so important, don't waste it, please.
