Only YOU can tell YOU to stop. A doctor isnt going to "cure" you. The problem is all in your head, and unless YOU decide that YOU have to stop this rediculous habbit then and only then will you be able to overcome this problem and cure yourself of this mental illness. truth be told, you are not doing yourself any good in cutting yourself, you may be frustated with someone or something and are taking it out on yourself. If you feel stressed take a moment to relax. take a deep breathe, buy some stress balls, scream into a pillow at the top of your lungs. You are hurting yourslef on purpose and you have to stop it. I wish you luck and I really hope that you surpass this problem. Again, good luck and God Bless.

As a former cutter, I tell you that you need to find some other way to deal with whatever makes you cut. Whether it's writing, joining a club or sport team at school, talking to a close friend. You need to find something to replace cutting with to deal with your problems. Only thing I know to tell you to do until then is to wear those wrist bands if your school allows it or long sleeved shirts.

Stop... Take a deep breath... and relax
You have already mastered the first step. When ever you get mad... think of another way to solve it before you cut. Write down your feelings, scream into a pillow, take a walk, exercise, or talk about how you feel with somebody.
I know its going to be tough, but there are a lot of people who feel the same way. Your not alone. Be strong!

Get to know Jesus so you can figure he's love you when no one else does. So you can know that he's trying to take care of your problems but he needs you to believe and accept him as you Lord and Savior Jesus Christ fareal now you may think this is bull answer but its the only way. You need to get in a church that you like and find somebody you can that you feel you can talk about it so they can pray that spirit off you because thats all that is I'm serious I would know I had my own deamonds I restled with.

You are cutting because you're punishing yourself, because you have guilt, which is hurt and anger turned inwards. Instead you have to admit your hurt, especially that caused by your parents. And you have to tell people who hurt you when they hurt you and not let it build up. You have to let old hurt go by telling people, getting apologies, getting away from people who don't care if they hurt you, and forgiving people by admitting that it was partly your fault. And forgive yourself by accepting that you are still a good person because you do feel bad when you've hurt someone.

Try Jesus. There are kids who attend our church youth group who have been delivered from that.
Jesus is your only hope.
