Answer 1

sweetie ...

i know you've heard this before ... but you need to find your happiness within yourself. i know that's hard sometimes .. believe me ..i do know.

i don't know anything about cutting ... except that i understand it. i honestly do. you should open up to your counselor and perhaps steer clear of al the "playas and wannabes" that are making you feel less than who you really are.

you have to want to get better ... recovery is within your grasp .. you just have to want it.

please get help ...

(( hugs ))

Answer 2

Obviously your counselor and the mental facility didn't do their job if you're still cutting. You need help now to get to the root of WHY you're cutting. Are you on antidepressants? I'm not a huge advocate of those but I know they work for some people. I used to knick myself so I know how easy it is to fall back into the vicious cycle, you really need to get to the bottom of why you're doing it. A lot of cutters cut as a cry for attention or because they don't know how to express their needs any other way. If you're boyfriend is trustworthy talk with him - tell him you need his help in stopping (assuming he knows). You need a core group of people you can and WILL call when you start thinking about it, so you can talk it out instead of resorting to cutting. Get help though with another counselor. Don't give up.

Answer 3

You need more help than a counselor. You need to identify the reason WHY you are cutting yourself, and address that issue. If you have had a traumatic past, accept it, and put it behind you. Nothing that has happened in the past can hurt you now, you just need to remember that. Take control of your life, you are your OWN person. Next time you reach for the blade, ask yourself why, and what good are you doing for yourself if you cut yourself? You say your boyfriend makes you happy...do you think he likes to see you torture yourself like that? And what happens if God forbid, you cut yourself and it becomes fatal. How sad would you make the person who loves you? Do you want to do that? It isn't worth it, and you need to come to terms with that. If you cut yourself for attention, then you need to realize that it doesn't work..People don't sympathize with people who feel sorry for themselves. So bring yourself up. Get a hobby, exercise, paint, do whatever! Put any aggression, or even your depression on a canvas. Paint your "sorrow", and imagine that with every stroke you take with the brush, a piece of your depression has been taken out of your mind and body, and sealed on that canvas. Sounds dorky but it works. Just imagine that silver lining on that cloud that follows you, and just know that the sun shines bright even behind the worst stormy clouds. Take care of YOU, YOU come first, and YOU matter most. You have been put on Earth for YOU, and YOU only. Make yourself happy, you deserve it!

Answer 4

All I have to say is those cause pain to themself are a wuss. Dont look for the easy way out. Life is full of hardship and cutting yourself does nothin to solve your problem or the worlds problem. I am not saying this to ***** you out. I am saying this to shine some light into your eyes. When ever you feel life is to much and pick up a sharp object just think of those who have it worse thosewho live through the worst possible situations. And dont use your boyfriend as an excuse saying that he makes you happy B.c one only make themself happy when they no longer have to inflict pain on themself. If you find the strenght within yourself not to do it. It is not B.c of your boyfriend it is b.c of you. I am not saying anything mean about your boyfrend I am saying love him not cuz he's the reason you dont cut love him for him. Love yourself becuz yopu stoped.

Answer 6

first of all why did you stop for the summer? and you need to find out all the good things about you, right them down if you have to and look at them before you start to cut and if you can't think of any thing good to wright down ask your boyfriend Keep it Real" Love you"or no one { One Life }
