Hey, I'm pokesdlt's friend the one she was talking about. I know how you feel. I've been there. Cutting is a serious addiction, like smoking, drinking or drugs. I slipped up and I talked to one of my friends about it years ago and for about 6 months after that I was under constant observation. The fact that they cared was enough for me to stop. Even today I get the itch (you know what I mean), and I'm not perfect, I've given into it a couple times. Last week, was the first time I'd done it in almost 7 years. I felt extremely guilty afterwards.
Basically what I'm saying is that it is not easy to give up cutting. It doesn't matter the reasons for it. Psychological or not, it's something that happens every day with a lot of people. If you do it for cosmetic reasons (scarring) then it needs to be done professionally, with clean knifes... not a razor blade from home. If you're doing it for sympathy (and I'm not saying you are) then it's probably working, lol. If you do it because it gets your mind of the important things in life, then you need to stop, because it is only a temporary solution to what is going on.
Find some one you care about... some one you trust... and some one that cares about you. Talk to them about it. If it is as bad as you say it is, then you've probably been refered to a psychiatrist a couple of times. Talking to complete strangers about your problems isn't a horrible idea, they have no room to judge, and if you don't like them, then you never have to see them again.
I hope this helps, if you need some one to talk to, my e-mail is gabbyx19@yahoo.com.
I hope you will accept the help offered to you by those that really do care.

You sound like you wont help? People will tell you that's its wrong but I'm not Shir if it any different then getting tattoo. That part about giving you self stitches I think is kinda cool. Just don't hurt your self or put your self at risk of killing your self. If you really want to stop the only way, I can see of doing that is replacing the action of doing that with some eals equal in mantel value but hopefully safer and less so with getting the same resolute. May be drawing one your self, or getting a tattoo of stitches or other acceptable things. Feel free to contact me if you wanna talk.

u should really think about getting professional help. its really important that u do this, otherwise u could seriously hurt urself. u could cut into an artery and bleed to death or u could get a nasty infection from having an open wound. a professional will help u figure out why u have this fetish and what u can do to change the behavior. please at least consider this because something bad could really happen to u if u dont!

It's called body modification. If you go BMEZine.com you will see a lot of people like you. There are addictions to modify your body. I used to cut myself for the scars too (youth is a very strange time), but not because I wanted to hurt myself and I never did it for attention.

Alot of people cut themselves when they are hurt or stressed it puts the pain away from their mind into where ever they are cutting. It is commonely a depression doing. There are places you can go to get help...the first place you should go is to your mom or dad, school counselor someone you feel comfortable talking to. e-mail me i have a friend that you can talk to I'll give you her e-address.

This is a common thing. Best is talking to good therapist. If not then anyone. Also write down exactly what you feel when you want to cut. See this site.

Get a corset piercing. Cutting will only make everyone worry too much about you.

You should talk to a psychiatrist, this type of behavior is dangerous and could have roots in childhood events. Good luck.

I would advise you to get a therapist immediately, because if you really do that you have some major issues.
