Answer 1

To tell you just to stop cutting yourself would just be pointless. If you are serious about that form of self-medicating, then it's not that easy. I've been a "cutter" for 10 years now and although I don't do it nearly as often as I have in the past, I don't think I'll ever consider myself over it. So if you haven't become reliant on it yet, it's best to look for another coping skill. Trust me, you really don't want to put your body through that. I have over 300 scars covering my body. I can't wear a bathing suit without someone saying something, I couldn't change in the locker room for gym when I was in high school, instead I had to change in the bathroom stalls, and sex....well let's not go there seeing as you are only 15. So if this is not enough of a reason to not go much further, then I suggest that you might want to talk to a school counsellor or someone you can trust. But if you'd like someone to talk to about it in the meantime, my email address is [e-mail]. Feel free to email me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Sometimes it helps to have someone who undertsands what you are going through. There is also a great community online that I use. Everyone is very helpful. Its at www.imunesupport.com. It's a site mostly for Fibromyalgia, but they also have a message board for depression. Anyway, hang in there for now.

Well, I used to be a cutter when I was in high school lots of children are. How old are you? If your younger I dont think i can say its normal but when your in high school and middle high you go through so many changes in just those few years. when i used to do it people would say I did it for attention but I dissagree It may be for some but for me I did It to bleed. To feel pain. I liked the pain and when I would bleed I would feel as though my pain was coming out. and thats how I delt with things. Now of course Im 21 and a mother and have come to relize that Is def not the way to help the pain and to cope with all the stress and lonlyness i felt as a teen. So my advice to you is STOP your just hurting yourself and Trust me it dosnt leave very pretty scars! You will be OKAY. It will be OKAY. The hell with people who dont understand you and critasize you for who you are. Make the best out of what you have and dont give up on yourself and others remember theres allways someone eles out there feeling the same and simmalar things that your going through. Dont be affraid to ask for help.

Hello Dear. Please do not do that! You are so worthy and you must start to believe that because we all are. Things that have happened in the past need to stay in the past and not re-lived in our present moment. Don't give these past memories the power in your life any more. Forgive all that is in the past and forgive yourself. When you forgive you are taking back your power ..you are pardoning them with you mighty grace of forgiveness and now you control your thoughts and feelings.

Forgiveness along with self love are two major energies that can transform any situation and/or experience.

Also do this exercise of self love. It may sound a little weird and it may be a little awkward at first. Get in front of a mirror and look deep into your eyes, really deep into your eyes for a few seconds and then tell yourself how much you love yourself and that you are an amazing being of love and power. Do this every morning and before you got to bed at night, or anytime you feel the need to cut yourself. The first time I did this I was amazed at the rust of love I felt within my being...there was a lake of tears and I felt great...I even feel great just thinking about it.

Namaste'

Your are courageous for asking for help

Answer 4

Some of my friends have the same problem.Cutting isn't phyco don't put yourself down. Life is a very unpredictable you just have to look at your life and look at your problems and slowly take your time,mabey with a friend, make a plan to try to solve your problems one at a time, dont stress yourself out even more.If you want to try to stop cutting try the rubber band idea where you wear it on your wrist and when you have the erge to cut pull the rubber bank and let it snap. it will give you a little pain but it wont damge you like cutting. I hope this helped. I hope you feel better.

Answer 5

You did not write your age, so that's kinda tricky to inform once you're gonna get taller or no longer, yet 5'6 and 5'7 isn't tall adequate for a fashion variety :-) businesses many times seek for 5'9 or taller. you should attempt as a commercial variety though. you do not inevitably want to have a portofolio, you should get a pal to take p.c.. of you, entire be certain, head shot and knees up p.c., is what they could want to be certain :-) an excellent type of businesses even want organic p.c.. over specialist ones. when you've finished that, carry those pictures to an employer (flow to a more beneficial one, the smaller ones are extra likely to tear you off) and performance a communicate with a specialist there :-) If that's really your dream, under no circumstances provide up even if or not they turn you down.

Answer 6

You say it's not the kind where you need to see someone yet you are here on Yahoo sharing this with complete strangers, so that tells me that you are more concerned about your behavior than you are letting on (maybe even to yourself).
You are not crazy or psycho, but this behavior is very dangerous, it only takes one time to go too far and slice a tendon or worse an artery.
Reach out to someone you can trust in your life, a teacher, counselor, friend's parent. . .someone. You say mom won't understand but if she used to cut she may understand much more than you realize. Give her a chance.
Get control of this before it controls you. Best wishes to you.

Answer 7

First off, stop cutting yourself. All that does is open you up for potentially fatal infections. I can understand the release that cutting gives you, because I get that same release from tattoos. I recommend you call a counselor or a friend and talk with them. There are other ways to let the pain and stress out.

Answer 8

People who cut (and there are many) have low self esteem and low self worth. You must realize that you are a valuable person. You are not psycho. You just don't know how to handle your problems. You need to talk with a psychologist in order to get to the root of your problems. Then forgive anyone who harmed you. I have always found help from God through prayer and reading His Word.

Answer 9

You're not psycho. But it is extremely unhealthy and you should get help. Cutting is an action common with teenage girls that have been through extreme physical abuse or sexual abuse. It's important for you to understand that what happened to you was not your fault, and you deserve to be happy and healthy. There are healthier ways for you to gain control over the negative emotions that you don't want to deal with, and a counselor can help you find those. Google RAINN to get the website, and they will direct you to a free counselor in your area.

Be strong, you can get through this!

Answer 10

Cutting is not a good channel for your anger. People who cut are punishing themselves because they feel bad about things that are beyond thier control. you need prayer and meditation. Ask God to forgive you for whatever it is you are punishing yourself for. If you need attention get help from conceling or something.
