Hello,

Please please try to find other ways to deal with your feelings. Once you start to rely on cutting instead of expressing your emotions, it's very easy to become addicted to the act. One episode of cutting can lead to a lifetime of struggle with it. And yeah, I'm speaking from experience, here.

Please try to find someone in real life that you can talk to and confide in. Someone who can help you learn better ways to handle your emotions. Turning your anger on yourself isn't going to solve anything, and will very likely make your problems worse.

The next time you get angry, try to find other ways to express it. If you can't talk to your mom to tell her how you feel, try writing it down, start a journal, talk to someone online. If you physically need to express your anger, try beating on a pillow, or crushing empty soda cans or take a block of wood and hit it with a hammer.

You're not alone in this struggle. Please take care of yourself.

-Ren

try to distract yourself next time, or talk to someone like a youth leader, before it gets too hard to get out of, am also speaking of experience, after over a year of trying to stop, I still keep failing, so, please, get some help off a friend, an adult, someone you trust because it is soo hard to stop, and it gets harder each and every day that you put off dealing with it and getting help!

hey girl!!

cutting is not nessessary at all. there are millions of other options. be aware of that. i know it's hard because i've been there. i know how getting mad and frustrated easily tempts. do you tend to talk about things when something bothers you or upsets you? or do you hide it away and deal with it personally? i realized that why i did it. i never talked about anything. i don't handle stress and overwhelming situation well AT ALL, so SI was my way of dealing with it...foolishly. i encourage you to seek wise counsel form an older woman. someone you respect. you don't have to tell them what you did, but just talk with them about what's goin on. although telling someone would be the good thing to do because then someone could keep you accountable.

keep me posted.

Hello there

Please do try to stop. I am a past cutter and it took me about 10 months to fully give it up. It doesn't get any easier if you do it over and over and over. It only makes it more difficult to give it up. Also if you are really devoted to God you will give it up because it harms the temple of God. I love you dearly because you are a sister in Christ and I don't want to see you hurting yourself to deal with life. It only makes things worse for you. I know this life isn't easy but there are people out there that want to help you and encourage you. I am here for you if you just need to talk to someone.

all i can say is that it gets worse as u go along. tell ur mom or dad or counselor or something. just tell someone, an adult, that u can trust to help u. if u keep doing it u will get addicted. i ended up in the hospital. brentwood phsyciatric hospital.

ok.. i need some help here now. i have been cut free for 6 months. but yesterday i got into it with a teacher. and then the principals.. instead of just giving me my punishment, they kept jacking with me. they ended up making me cry and that just ticked me off more. so i did end up cutting. but there is no way i want to go back to doing that. what should i do?

just try not to do it next time. i'm telling {sorta} what happened to me. actually all i'm doing is trying to make ppl aware of SI. but i end up saying i did it. it suyre doesn't get any easier though.
