Hi, I used to cut to get attention. I quit doing that about 6 months ago. Yesterday I listen to rock and it triggered me off. Today I want to listen to rock and cut. I don't wnat to becaus eit will hurt my mom and dad. I feel like poeple who are into cutting and depressing stuff that they are always occupied. I am so bored all the time that maybe it will occupy me.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

A true original.
Find something else to occupy yourself. You DO NOT want to be occupied with cutting and trying to hide it, or constantly worrying about what people think about you because of the scars, if they're visible. You DO NOT want to go through the pain of hurting others and feeling as though you can't help it.
Please stay away from cutting. I don't want to see you get back into it. Find other things to occupy you. I know you must have hobbies. If not, get involved in something. Clubs at school ... learn how to knit or draw or cross-stitch. Get involved in a good book.
Identify what triggers you and stay away from it.

i completely agree. If rock music triggers you, try not listening to it and listen to other type of music(Christian Rock is really good).
As soulwings said, go do things that will positively effect you...like joining a group or get into a relaxing and fun hobby.
I shall pray for you..That you get away from cutting.
+God Bless+

Just my opinion but I don't think anyone cuts just for attention. They also need some sort of release from some sort of emotional something. Sounds like not only are you bored but you are lonely too. Perhaps you can find something you might enjoy poetry, reading, a sport, computer game or something like that as a distraction. What about youth group at a church or something like that to help build relationships, have fun things to do, and learn more about God/worship God? Do you have anthing like that to help you feel connected to others?

Thanks for replying guys. See, I am really shy and to get down to it I don't have enough guts to go to youth groups. I rarely go to church! I want to learn how to draw but I am so terrible at it that I give up and get frustrated.

RChick - WOW!! Sounds a lot like me these days. It's been 175 days for me, and I was doing really well and then something triggered it about a month ago and ever since I want to do it. Mostly just for attention. Like, I want to see if people would notice. I know they love me. I know they care, but I want to see if they'd notice the new cuts.
My small group leader and I met today about other stuff and this came up. She pointed out that I am placing my desire for people to notice me above my desire for God. And, I know for a FACT that God is so much more satisfying, lasting, and loving then a razor.
I am in here with you sister! Right now I am sooo temtped, so I am here reading and hoping to encourage someone else.
