I was a cutter for about 10 years. I'm glad you recognize the fact that you need help - that's the very important first step. You probably don't want to hear it but you need the help of a professional. You have to find a healthier way to channel your emotions and feelings, and it usually takes a professional to help you do that. There is no shame - ask your parent/s or some trusted adult to help you find a counselor. It's not easy to ask for help, but the adults who love you only want to help stop the pain. When I finally told my parents they were actually relieved. They had known all along something was really wrong, but I shut them out. They were so happy to finally be able to help me that they never once judged me or told me I was stupid for being a cutter. Please try and find a pro to talk to - you don't have to feel the way you're feeling. Email me if you want to talk or ask anything. Take care of you!!!

Well I just decided that I would stop and here I am still alive 3 weeks later ! I'm now finding it really difficult and feeling slightly suicidal. I can't cope without it after relying on it for so long. I've stopped without profecional help, which may be why I'm feeling crap. But who knows with the proper help you could be free from cutting. It's hard I know, every minutes a battle in your mind - will I cut, wont I cut - but you need to find the strenght in yourself to stop and get help. Hopefully the doctor will give me anti-depresants tomorrow. I really don't know how to help you, I can't help myself. But one thing I can say is don't swap one bad habit, cutting, for another like starving yourself. I'm doing that and I thought I was going to die yesterday, couldn't move, couldn't see and was shaking ! Well girlie email be back, always great to here from you ! Good luck, I hope tings get better for you ! x

What you need to do is contact a psychiatric physician, check yourself into the hospital. By acknowledging that you need help is the first step. It takes alot of guts to acknowledge this. I hope that you get the help you need. Take care!!

hey im so sorry about this and im not an xcutter but one of my friends is and she'd been doing it for 5 years. the way she stopped was she had a red ballpoint pen wth her everywhere and wherevr she went she would draw the slit and it calmed her down i dont know why but it did and she occupied herself with writing and drawing, etc. i relly hope this helps, and if not, im sorry.. â¥

You need lots of support...talk to your friends and family...maybe if you always stay around them , you won't cut...I can't speak from experience though. Maybe you can see a counselor and talk to them about it. Good Luck!
