How do I stop cutting?? Help please???

Question

So I started cutting 1year ago when I am about to turn 14 when I got really depressed. I was depressed because I felt like I had no one not even my family. Sometimes I still feel that way. I used to talk to my best friend nick but he got a girl friend and she does not like me so she won’t let him talk to me. My two best friends Nick and Taylor that know I’m cutting think I have stop. I told them I did because I hate them yelling at me about it. I know I need to stop but I feel like when I had a really bad day and anything that upsets me I just need too! Sometime I feel like I can’t take life. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I need to stop this but I scared if I do that I am going to start something else a lot worse. My parents don’t know and I would like it too stay that way. How do I stop this? I know I need to. Help?

Answer 1

Whenever you feel like cutting. Just hold off for a few seconds and think about something else. Then try to think about something that can branch off of the first thing you thought of. Eventually you'll completely forget what you were doing and thus, won't cut.

Or you could just do something productive like homework or something. Just a suggestion.

Answer 2

You need help from a professional.  You can find confidential help from any teen hot-line.  Look under health services in the phone book.

Answer 3

Do you understand what is behind your desire to cut yourself?

For insight on this, I suggest reading:

Answer 4

Find a really good psychiatrist, or visit a doctor and they can refer you to one, and probably treat those cut wounds at the same time.
