Answer 1

Take care to understand what you are doing.
Hope you've researched cutting.
Cutting releases a chemical stimulant. Just like any chemical u may be addicted to that chemical stimulant.
Like a heroin addict.

Also you should explore into The Great Man Theory.
IDK y u are asking to be told what to do, but u seem to find comfort in that. U should seek 2 understand that 2.
The Great Man Theory offers an explanation.

Keep in mind that there are many ppl in this blog who have these depressive needs. Before you ask please take care 2 look at other's solutions

Answer 2

Get some heavy exercise, or at least take a walk. Get some fresh air. Take deep breaths. Pray. I'll pray for you. Read the Bible (New Testament first). Ask the Lord into your life. I did many years ago and He has helped me and blessed me a lot. Don't cut yourself. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. God owns you. You have no right to do that. Get hold of yourself. Do something constructive. Join a church. Help people who need help. Think about others instead of yourself. Take Vitamin B. complex for stress. Drink chamomile tea. Stop eating junk food. Read these Bible verses: Romans 10:13, Romans 5:8, Romans 3:23, Matthew 6:33, Isaiah 43:2, Philippians 4:6,7. Hope this helps. I don't mean to sound mean, but I'm greatly concerned about all these young girls (which I assume you are) who are doing this. Cheer up. Better days are coming. God loves you. Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Love and prayers, Cee T

You don't say whether or not you have had this compulsion before or if you have ever acted on this. Please, please, please don't do this! Cutting won't solve your problems and will just add something else you have to deal with. You probably already know you need some help here, and I pray, (for real) that you will find someone willing to listen and offer you the help you need.

If this note sounds insincere, I apologize, as I have 2 children next to me and it is sad to say, but if I would have acted on all the things I considered when I was younger, I would have never seen these two boys! I promise, I went through some horrific times in my 20s and 30s and what I wish I knew was the following: Many of my problems I compounded with wrong actions and reactions. Instead of dealing with the real issues I covered things up with more STUFF. I still CRINGE at some of the bad choices I made and still feel SHAME that I was SO mixed up. Someone kindly pointed out that I had become a professional "victim" and only I had the power to turn things around to be a "victor." My friend handed me his business card with 3 scriptures on it and I almost laughed in his face, thinking, 'yeah,' that is all you have to help me?' Eventually, I became so messed up and had nothing left to try...so I opened up an old Bible...and started reading the New Testament. Then I found that business card with those references on it. Eventually, I got it...that even my pain, heartache and problems...they could be used for good...if I turned my life around. But I had to make the first step.

Maybe your first step will be different. I had to hit ROCK BOTTOM before I even considered the Bible. Sad, but so true...

I don't want to sign off...I just want to give you some hope...and there is hope...

You can avoid all of this. I won't preach here, but I do ask you to at least give someone the chance to help you, whether it is a minister, a friend, a trusted relative...someone...reach out and GET the help you need. Don't do it!

Your note makes me SO SAD. Please, please, don't hurt yourself. Whatever you are going through will pass, and you will get through this.

I am praying...

Answer 4

Don't cut.
It's just hurting yourself, and every time you look down at the cut you'll be reminded of the emotional reason you cut yourself, making you feel worse. It's just not a good thing altogether.
Whenever you want to cut yourself, just do something else that lets you take your mind off it.

Hey, it’s great you’re reaching out for help. It sounds like there may have been some triggers in your life lately that have made you want to self-harm. 5 months! Awesome job!

Some things you might try is finding things to keep yourself busy to distract your hands, like baking or writing, drawing or going outside for a while. Check out the coping skills on the YLYV website, it can help to get some ideas so you can find what works for you.

Maybe, think about talking to your counselor about what happened. They might be able to help you talk through the emotions you are going through.

Please consider reaching out and talking to someone first before you decide to do anything to hurt yourself or have any suicidal thoughts.

Stay strong; it was a good first step reaching out. There are people out there that want to help and care about you.

If you feel like you need to talk it might be helpful for you to talk to a hotline counselor or you can chat at www.yourlifeyourvoice.org. Remember you’re worth it, and you can do it. If you need support give us a call anytime.

Take care,
