How do I stop hurting yourself.?

Question

I like to cut. I like the way it feels and it makes me feel better. I try to stop and will do well for a while; but something happens or nothing happens and the urge comes. Before I know it I have a razor and I am cutting into myself and bleeding ever where.
Is there a way to stop forever? How do I kill the urges?

Answer 1

Hey there

I myself used to cut, and understand how hard it can be.

Try and relax. do things to try and stop you form tihnking about it. Like stop a draw etc.

If it the pian you like, put a rubber bands around you wrist or hair tie and pull it and flick it agianst your wrist. Sqeese Ice cubes.. in your hand.

If you have sum sort of actions b4 you cut, like getting stuff out blade , tissues etc. Get it all out in fornt of you, then pack it all away. Keep doing that till its gert boring.. and it want wanna cut anymore.

Sit down and think about.. " oh another week I have to hide myself" its going to remind you for the rest of your life.

You need to sort this issue out b4 it get really bad.

hope some of this helps

I know how you feel because there is a girl in my class who does this. she has a bad life and her dads in jail and her moms who knows where but the best thing i can say is occupy your free time with something else. go to the mall or movies. hang out with friends. if you dont have any its as simple as turning the tv on or getting on the computer. just fight the urges by doing other things. if you dont have many friends try running or exercising. but the best thing you can do is tell your parents or someone else so you can get other help also. hope everything works out and ill pray for you!

You need to find out what it is that causes you to feel the need to cut yourself. Try to correct that. It would be best to speak with your doctor about these issues, and perhaps he may prescribe you with some kind of medication to help you overcome these urges. Your condition may be resulting from some kind of depressive issue. Try to up your activity levels, and do more things your enjoy, to preoccupy yourself from self mutilation. I'm sure you can get passed this...just ask for help!

I think that it has something to do with the way the human mind works and with time u will stop. Have u told anyone or thought about seeking professional help? i think that if u try hard enough that u can stop just try to not think about hurting urself and think about something that makes u happy.

Gotta get to the root fo the issue, mental health professionals are everywhere...cutting is bad for you, and somebody will be able to help you if you are honest and not too defensive to listen to what they say. Go to your community mental health association, tell a trusted adult type person who can help you find somebody, but don't let it go on. Take care of yourself and good things

Answer 6

the cutting releases the endorphins in your body and it makes you feel better. anger turned inward becomes depression, you need to see a therapist and a psychiatrist to help you with your cutting and the meds you need to help you get better. you can get better with the right treatment.

Answer 7

Are you hook on drugs? I heard same actuation of an addict. If you think you are normal, it is better to channel your weird attitude to worthwhile activities, something that challeges your sharp mind. The reason do are acting such as you mentioned is that your mind is empty of variety of interest. Go out, walk and explore your environment.
