People do self mutilation to punish themselves, for some reason people who do this have low self esteem, lack confidence, and usually suffer from mild depression. Self mutilation is actually a mental illness which means they catagorized it as that because there are so many deep issues going on. You need to see someone about it. You need to tell your parents or your friends and you need to go to your doctor and get referred to a psychiatrist who is trained in dealing with this. I worked at a girls home as a counselor for several years and what I have noticed is that girls do this to punish themselves where boys will strike out at others because of how they feel inside. So it's up to you. If you want this to stop you need to talk to professionals. It can stop. You can't though unless you address the deeper issues of why you are doing it in the first place. If you need to talk email me.

Well you should love yourself. Do not blame yourself all the time. Who is better to understand you is you! Be kind to yourself. Always forgive yourself. You should be in harmony with yourself. Find a nice environment for you to reflect on things and count your blessings so that you would appreciate your life. Don't waste your life. There are a lot of people who have more problem than you. Especially here in our country Philippines which is very poor and some people with 12 kikds, no home, no food, no work and only find food in the trash. You should be thankful that in your country you have alot of oppurtunities. do not waste your life trying to cut and kill yourself... Your life is too beautiful for that.

Please see a counselor or psychologist -- this is something you need to talk about with someone you can trust and who can help you. It's not simple and you won't find a simple answer on Yahoo Answers.
It's all about finding the reasons you cut yourself and addressing that. Do you know why you do it? Maybe not.
There are no tricks that will work.
When people read this, many of them feel great sympathy for you and want you to learn not to do this and how to be happy. I'm one of them. Good luck.

Just stop if anyway possible.I know it's hard for you.And do get medical help and counseling(sounds like the best).Know that people do care about you.Know matter what your going through.And always remember that there's people out there who are going through the same things you are and worse. I know that praying works also.Take Care and seek counseling.Counseling and having God in your life helps alot.Take Care

I came to this question thinking it was one thing, and then reading the details, I realized you were sking quite another.
I don't think you meant that you self-mutilate. I think you meant to say, "I cut myself (as in not intentionally) how can I stop bleeding?"
At this point, you probably already have stopped bleeding. Although, if I have read wrong, and you are looking for advice regarding self-mutilation, please update your details, and I will edit my answer accordingly.

I'm so sorry you are doing this. I think you need more help than just trying on your own. Talk to your parents, and see a counselor and/or psychiatrist.

count your blessings and go to sleep.... your subconcious mind can deal with your issues through dreams and you cant cut yourself while asleep, can you..... long nice dreams, even if you are just in an alternate reality where everything is fine, is good....
you have a friend in Jesus and he cut himself enough....... if your christian, look up Luke 8:26 onward....its about a man who was cutting himself
chin up, god bless

Just don't. You have to make up your mind to love yourself, instead of inflicting pain on your own skin. I wish you the best of luck :)

Talk to someone.
Try knitting or something like that, keep busy.
And again; talk to someone. I did all of the above.
