If you engage in self-injury, it's important to follow your treatment and to take care of yourself.

Self-care measures you can take include:

Following your treatment plan, including attending psychotherapy appointments and taking prescribed medications as directed.

Fully disclosing incidents of self-injury to your doctor.

Trying to find ways to cope other than injuring yourself, such as reaching out to a friend, practicing relaxation techniques, contacting a support group or getting in touch with your doctor.

Resolving not to underestimate the ability to change your life in positive ways.

Avoiding alcohol and illicit drugs.

Shunning Internet sites that claim to endorse self-injury as a lifestyle choice. Instead, seek out sites that are supportive of your efforts to stop self-injury.

Caring properly for your wounds when you do injure yourself, such as seeking medical treatment when necessary and following appropriate first-aid guidelines.

It's hard for people to understand why we cut. To them it's horrible and disgusting. For us it's helpful and a great way to relieve emotional pain. However, we know deep down inside that we shouldn't do it.
I'm afraid you have to get over your hate of counselors. Some will be bad, but I promise there are good counselors out there.
In the meantime, you can help yourself stop cutting. You can do many stuff to distract yourself. Here are some ideas:
exercising
reading
new hobby
punching a pillow
using a red marker to represent "blood" on your skin
writing down your feelings
talking to family or friends
holding an ice cube in your hand until it melts. It's painful.

As for your friends, just tell that you need help. If they are true friends then they will listen and help you.
I'm disappointed in your dance coach. It doesn't matter that she is there only to teach dance. You are suffering and it's wrong not to help people when they are in pain. I bet if you were being abused then she will do anything to help you.
Anyways, if you need to talk then email me. I cut myself too though I'm trying to stop.

email me if you want. Im working thru abuse and other "issues" and I have done it about 3 times over the last few years. Never with intent to permantant harm or death, it was just because very bad things happened, I had no one to talk to and physical pain was that only way to express and block the emotional agony. Im not sucidal. Its that in the dead of the night, when there is no where to turn it seems like the only way to get your mind off it.
But its a bad thing to do.
I doubt that everyone you talked to is "mad" at you, just really worried. People act angry when they super concerned (take it as a compliment that they love you so much).
I went to a REALLY bad counsellor and she terrified me and made it all worse, ditched her and found a good one...give it a try.
The best thing when you feel like those closest to you are unapproachable, is to turn to someone on the outside of your life...now who would be more reliable...some random nutcase on the net (me :p lol) or a qualified counsellor. so try it, i promise it helps. go to one you havent seen before if you can, so its a fresh start.
so talk to me or someone

That sucks, i'm a cutter too, but haven't been figured out yet. Sucks that they found out, i'd been in the exact same position as you if they saw my arm. Forced to wear long sleeves now. Meh, it's cold right now anyway. I told my best friend, but i told him I stopped too, i continued on anyway, but will never mention it again. But if you really do want what you've lost back, you do need to stop. There are sacrifices that must be made to be a cutter, so it should be no suprise all this collateral damage has happened. But, like I said, if you want it all back, you must sacrifice the razor. later sweety

I understand that you feel alone, but it sounds like you are pushing people away who care about you and are genuinely concerned for you. Talk to your friend and your coach and understand that they may be upset with you, but they care about you and want to help. Just tell them you need a hug. That actually works wonders. I tend to bottle everything up, but people close to me know that when I say, "I need a hug," I mean business. So make with the hugs! Long story short, they love you, so let them in!

You should really stop what you are doing to yourself and to your self image. You may think that cutting yourself is distracting you from other pain (emotional) that you are feeling, but all you are doing is ruining yourself.
Do know that you will be remembered for all of this? Years from now it is going to be terribly embarrassing.
And if I were your dance coach I would be mad as hell too. She isn't a psychotherapist...... she is a dance coach.
You know, there to teach dance. Not there to teach girls how to use and not use razors.
As for your friend you are putting her reputation on the line with these bloody and gross acts. Trust me, cutting your self is doing nothing other than carving stupidity into your skin..... try cutting something else. If you dont quit then you can expect to be massaging scar cream on yourself constantly trying to hide the fact that you ever did these idiotic acts to yourself.

hey. i know how you feel.
you will probably be able to talk to your friend eventually its just that for the moment she is probably freaking out and doesnt know what to do. she will come around eventually and will want you to talk to her. in the mean time do your parents know? i know the last thing youd want to do is tell your parents but im sure if they love you theyd just want to get you all the help you need.
if you want someone to talk to then you can IM me if you want. im going through the same thing.

good luck

I'm going to tell you the truth, believe it or not it's still is the truth.
You need to stop listening to satan's advice for cutting. Soon it will become killing yourself and not just cutting. So, stop now. Turn to God for help, because really, He is the only one Who can help. Just ask Jesus Christ to forgive you, and protect you from satan and his advice, and ask Jesus to fill your heart with his Love, Peace, and Joy.
thank you for your time
ps. Jesus really loves you and cares about you
