i cut and ive tried quitting before but it was way to hard cuz its kinda like an addiction for me is this normal to go through? and then also swimming in gym is coming up and i dont want people to know that i cut (its on my thighs and ankles) what should i do?

Answer 1

i dont know but i do it to and it is seriously an addiction.a couple of my friends do it also and we all agree its hard to quit. just do your best not to do it and i wish you the best of luck!

Answer 2

ok this is pretty serious and i would recomend a good therapist to help you through this. Cutting is about control, so I would guess you don't have much control at home and this is how you feel validated and have some sort of power. The crazy thing is that you just hurt yourself.

It's the same for smokers or heroin addicts, it's really hard to quit any addiction and the best way is to admit you have a problem, which you already have, but not to your parents yet.. That's the real hard part but if you want help you're going to have to tell a grown up. And if for some reason you feel you can't tell your parents (they might become violent to you) then tell your swim teacher (or another adult you trust) you need to speak to someone a problem you have.

There are programs that you can join, you are not alone and many girls have gone through what you're going through, so a good support group would be amazing for you to join. I wish you the best!

Answer 3

I would go see a doctor. This is definitely an addiction. Just tell your teacher you are too scared to go swimming.
