Answer 1

IF cutting yourself really makes your pain and stress go away.... then how come you have to do it again.. and again..??

You need some help. Someimmediate help and you need to talk to your parents, a doctor, a school nurse, someone.

if you like you can check out this bloke... he is a qualified psychologist practicing in Victoria, Australia... read through his websites... you might get some ideas from there...

but you are going to need to tell someone soon..

Answer 2

Anyone who makes fun of you should probably be cut themselves if you ask me! Just wanted to say that first...

I think it is very important you seek out a professional who can tell you much more than anyone here, and with greater accuracy as things pertain to your case. If you have no insurance or you can't tell your parents who hold the insurance or something, there are many places to seek help. Walk into any hospital and ask about mental health resources. Check the phone book for resources. Look things up in your area on the internet. You should also consider telling your parents about the cutting while you tell him you are looking for help. Whatever you do, do what you know is right and get some real help.

Answer 3

Oh wow. Okay well is your question how do you stop? Or how do you tell your parents?
For stopping - just think about what your doing. Its a really bad idea, and there are better ways to venting such as taking a walk, or talking to a friend, even if its not about cutting. Writing helps me as well.
However, if that doesnt work for you, and you just need to sometimes, then just do. Really, but dont as often. Continue to slow down and lessen the times of day/week/whatever that you do this. Eventually you can stop.

As to telling your parents, if I were you, I would wait until you stopped. I'm speaking from expeirence. And I know you dont want to, but unless your parents will hurt you/beat you/do something un-natural about it, I would. Think about it - if you had a teenager, wouldnt you want them to tell you?

Hope all goes well-

Answer 4

have you tried to go to a support group or anything? you're not alone, there are tons of ppl that do this sort of thing.

maybe you should talk to your parents,,,, if you want to stop, then maybe they can help. and remember, your friends are only doing this cuz they care about you.

I'ts such a hard situation,,,, it's an addiction, just like smoking or drinking, or eating..... you do it cuz it makes everything feel better, but in the long run, it's hurting you too. whatever you decide to do, find someone you can talk to... someone that you trust, a friend, a family member, a school counselor..... do whatever you can to help yourself..... and good luck, if you need anything, drop me an email.

don't worry, it'll get better. :)

Answer 5

Maybe go to a counselor. Maybe you should reflect on what would happen if you die and stuff. You'd be making other people around you sad and affecting others. Think of the consequences. Get proffesional help if it's really gets worst or if it already is. How about trying to wrap up the place where you frequently slit so that you do not go near it and you remember not to. Think before you slit "What is there to gain?". Then hopefully you'll think twice. Hope it goes alright for you. Please don't slit anymore.

Answer 6

this is a hard question to answer. i think you should tell your parents. your parents are the ones that have guided you through life, and most importantly, have been through life themselves. they know these kind of things. if you tell them, they can help you. now think to yourself, what is better, killing yourself, or stress and pain. if your too scared too tell your parents, then its all up to you. you have to start to make yourself stop cutting yourself. try to figure out whats causing the stress and pain and resolve that problem. that will help you not cut yourself anymore. cutting yourself is like taking drugs. it makes you feel better, but you might end up killing yourself. this will not take a fast time to do. it will happen slowly. first you must understand what is causing the stress and pain and resolve that. then, try to calm yourself down and stop cutting yourself. this is doing to be hard, but it will take time. but most importantly, before doing all this, first ask your parents. they might get mad and all, but they will help, because they love you.

Answer 7

You need both medical support and spiritual support. First go see a psychologist. Second go to a church. It always good to have a religion. By going to the church and believe in the lord Jesus Christ then he will help you overcome this problem. I believe that you can overcome anything through the lord Jesus Christ who strengthens you. Do what you think is right and don't cut yourself anymore.

Answer 8

Is there someone you trust, an adult who you can talk to? A support group of some kind in your area for cutters? You need to tell someone about your cutting, someone that can help you get the help you need. A psychologist who has experience in helping clients that cut.

Answer 9

OK first thing is i would tell someone besides your friends that can help you. Tell your parents and get them involved. You don't want this to go untreated. You need to seek help. There are tons of places on line that you can check out..Seek a doctor or shrink ASAP And get your parents involved. You are going to want there support and going to need there help to make sure that you get the right care Please don't wait Do it soon! Do it now! Don't be scared..

Answer 10

You need more help than you can get here...
You have a serious illness.
You have to talk to your parents or teacher.
Maybe your pastor ...talk to someone who
can get you the help you desperately need.
Blaming others for making you want to cut
yourself is a sign that you are in really bad
shape mentally and you need help right away.
