I unfortuantly am a cutter as well. Please i beg of you not to start again, i have quit if a few times and each time i failed i was put into hospital again. And that is ****. But now i am on my 4 month and doing gre- .... well as good as you can be.
Put it this way, i find it helps. Think of quitting cutting is the same as quitting smoking, you sill get massive cravings and you know that if u dont resist and go ahead and cut/smoke you'll feel so much better... for a while then you will realise that you have failed and will not only dissapoint yourself but also those close to you who had so much faith in you!
Do this for yourself and try alternatives for cutting... personally i don't recomend the elastic around your wrist and flicking- i did that and i ended up doing it to much as severly bruised my wrist and drew blood :S *shuders* and that got the same reaction.

I like using a red marker and draging it across your arm/wrist/elsewhere and puss hard because no matter how hard u puss it wont break the skin! Ice is anouther good way as someone else mentioned... and also i find ripping paper up.. its weird but it helps. Or the alternative is to sit somewhere like on the floor and not move... lean up against a wall and concentrate on your thinking and pin point the reason for the craving and think through it.

Or else if there is some one you trust talk to them, but if not i am always open and we can help each other! promise!

Good luck and don't give up!

Think about this for a minute, you really don't want to cut yourself because it hurts. You are hurting inside about something going on right now and feel that you can't get upset with that situation or that person so the best thing to do is hurt yourself. Am I close. Okay, write down what is bothering you right now. This is not worth hurting yourself over. Think about a better way to get through this maybe talking to someone about what is going ton. maybe just writing it down and then startin congradulating yourself on every day you make it without cutting. Please also think about talking to a counselor about a better way to let out your pain. Please believe me, your worth going for the help to get through this. Best of luck.

Look at yourself in the mirror and see not yourself but someone who doesn't want you to hurt them. You would never dream of cutting on someone else. Now I am asking you to not lay a blade on the person you see in the mirror.

You cut yourself. That's it. Move forward. Don't bring the pain with you..leave it behind. you are not cutting yourself at this moment.
Stay with that. The fear is what brought you there. Leave it there.
Just keep moving forward.

Distract yourself. Find something else to do. If you know you won't do it if you're around friends or family, then go find someone to be around. Unless you distract yourself, you'll think about it until you do it. Quit reading this and go distract yourself!

Call someone and talk through the urge, then get help.
