Answer 1

you just have to realize how much you are hurting youself... look at every single scar you have and i want you to remember the pain. i know it may seem comforting, like the pain is the only one that understands you but it is sooooo not worth it. all of the pain will fade if you stop cutting. it won't go away right away, it'll take time and lots of determination. just remember that there are people who care about you... p.s. have u been getting my emails?

Answer 2

To answer the question of will you be this way forever, I can say yes or I can say no, but the real answer is dependent on you. Only you can truly answer this question, because if you want to get better, then you will, because with that will power you can stop. On the other hand, if you really do not want to quite, well no matter what people do or say you won't stop, because you aren't really willing or wanting to. So that question I leave to you to answer.
BUT it is definitely possible to quite, though hard, very hard. I've had a long hard battle with it, and believe me it's a tough decision just to decide that you want to stop and get better. Though you would think that would be the easiest question in the world to answer, it's not in any way.
Next step is to start talking with someone you trust. Someone that won't judge you and be understanding in trying to help you and just be there for you. I would also highly recommend a therapist, and if needed some meds. The most important thing is will power. Find things to keep you distracted when you have the urge to cut. Read a book, write in a journal, look up funny things on the internet, whether it be videos, jokes, etc...draw on yourself with red marker(make sure its washable), play dough can really help squash all those frustrations, or even a stress ball, go shopping, hang out with friends, just do something you love to do. For more ideas, you can do a google for ideas of things to do instead of cutting, I've found many good lists, there are 100s and 100s of ideas. here's one of those sites http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/problems/resisting_cutting.html

Just whenever you think about hurting yourself, immediately get yourself doing something else, even if its crying (seriously that helps a lot) and hitting your pillow, cause you can't hurt the pillow.

If you ever need someone to talk to that has been through it (not saying I'm fully recovered, but I have been able to keep from actually performing my thoughts), just offering if you need someone that understands and know those feelings that you are feeling, I am willing to do so. I know it helped me a ton to talk with others that went through it.

Just know that you are not alone, and recovery is definitely possible, it just takes time and willingness on your part.

I hope this helps in some form, and I wish you the best of luck on your search for recovery.

On the other hand, if your problem is about cutting yourself on purpose, then first get an appointment with a psycologist.
then, it is a good thing to do to keep all razors in a little box. On top of this box write the phone number of a good friend or someone who you can call and will go to your place. Do the same in a piece of paper and put inside the box and on top of the razors.
After this, designate a draw for all knives and scissors in your home (and by this I mean ALL KNIVES AND SCISSORS IN YOUR HOME), on this draw you'll stick a piece of paper with the phone number i mentioned above, and also put a paper with that phone number inside the draw and on top of all knives and scissors.
If at any moment you are using a knive or scissor and you feel like cutting yourself then you start counting up to fifty, as you count loud up, start thinking of all the previous times you cut yourself, the worse ones, think of how it hurt and how bad it looked afterwards, drop the knife and wash your face. Then restart your activity concentrating on what you are doing, eg: I'm cooking, i have to get this done so i can put it in the oven... and so on. It would be even better if before restarting you try to get someone's company while doing such activity.
Good luck

Answer 4

I also was a cutter. Stopped about 8 months ago. I had to have help. I saw my phsycologist and was honest with her about what i was doing. It took some time ( and anti-depresants) but I was able to stop. I actually started getting better after I figured out why I was doing this, and what took place right before i did it. I still think about it, but I am able to control that feeling and stop myself from cutting. Really, get some help. Just having someone you trust to talk to can make a big diff. I hope you do get better.

Answer 5

You really need medical and mental attention. You should have your mom or an adult you can confide in go with you to a hospital and have doctor see you right away. Your not crazy, but cutting is a disorder that can be fixed. You may need medication. But you have to see a professional doctor. If I were you, I would go as soon as possible. Stop punishing yourself.

Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 6

I'm not going to lie to you, you will be like that forever if you can't make that desision to stop. I woke up the other day and thought what's the point of cutting? I'm still feeling crap after it, so what's the point? You need to find someone you trust, someone you trust with anything. They will be able to help you, you can't get the answers you need from Yahoo! Answers. Please talk to someone and good luck, as always x

Answer 7

i realize that you some people it is damn hard to stop cutting, sadly i have tried and failed many times to stop, though some things that helped me were ice cubes, and snapping a rubber band on your wrist, it feels like a cut from a razor blade, at least for me, and that way you'll at least be moving on to recovery, i've found that you can't stop cold. you almost have to ease out of the behavior, i'm not telling you to cut, not at all, but try to find something that will help you relieve that stress that does not involve hurting your self.

Answer 8

Get professional help. I didn't stop cutting until I started feeling better mentally and emotionally. Generally, cutting is only a symptom, not the whole problem.

Answer 9

Make a doctor's appointment NOW!, and ask to be referred for treatment to someone capable of helping. Then visit: http://www.emedicinehealth.com and http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medicineplus/ency/ and www.myspace.com and enter the terms: "cutting" and "self harm" in the bar at the top of the myspace webpage, using the alphabetical method for the others. Consider joining a support group, either in person, or online at: myspace; groups or Yahoo; groups or Google; groups, and go online or phone whenever you get those feelings.

Answer 10

I am very sympathetic to you... I was a cutter, I hated it too. I just recently stopped. I don't know if this will work for you, but try rubbing ice cubes across your skin or using a red pen and draw on your skin. Make a promise to yourself. or you paranoia, such as, "if I cut myself, (insert bad thing) will happen to (insert name of person you care about the most)" Its scary to think about, and it should work.

I don't want you to hurt yourself.
