How do I stop cutting?

Question

I have been cutting for 3 years. It's like a drug I can't stop I've tried so many times. I can stop for weeks but something goes wrong and I cut again. I stopped cutting for 4 months. I started cutting again yesterday. I do talk to a doctor it does not help

Answer 1

I'm in the same situation with cutting and 2 eating disorders. People usually don't help when it comes to mental health. I suggest you lock away the utensils you use to cut and hide the key, and I mean hide it good. Put a rubber band where ever you cut and pull it and let go when ever you have the impulse to cut.  

Answer 2

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

i stopped for a while too but it's kinda hard not to do it.

have you tried other methods? they don't work for me but you could try them - drawing on yourself with a pen, red is best, in lines like cuts; getting some other sort of red liquid and making lines on your body (not too hard, just so it looks like a red line); getting a bottle top (plastic) and holding it hard onto your skin; clutching ice really hard for as long as you can; throwing away anything sharp you have or giving it to someone you trust so that they can take it away from you.

or you could try and limit the amount you cut, depending on how often you cut now. so you could say you only do it once a day or something and you're only allowed to scratch, not draw blood.

you said that you talked to a doctor but doctors can be pretty c**p. it would be better to talk to a counsellor or therpist. could your doctor recommend someone?

good luck though, you aren't alone
