talk to your counselor about it and ask them to keep you accountable. so that when you do it again you gotta tell them. give yourself a reward for 1 week. 2 weeks. 3 weeks. 1 month. 2 months not cutting. set up your own reward system and get addicted to something else like talking to someone whenever u have the urge to self harm.
I have problems with eating too. Can’t eat if I’m too stressed which is everyday. So I eat only one real meal a day. And hardly any water..it’s a real problem
Ive had a real problem with anorexia until I realised no matter how little I ate my problems were still there, it solved nothing just made things more complicated. Ive never cut but I see them in the same way. Its a short term “solution” (i use thay term lightly) for a long term problem. Try working on the underlying problem and dont be scared to ask for help.
Im really sorry to here that genuinely. Im way out of my depth and would hate to give you bad advice as there are others here whove been through similar things and can help you alot more though.
If you need someone to talk to id be more than happy to help but better people have better advice.
Ahh yeah my anorexia is a bit different to most although im not sure about yours. I seemed to lose everything good in my life simultaneously and i realised that i was with holding food from myself and rationing it half as a punishment and half for control. It was the only thing in my life i had control over. What i wore and what i ate. I also had this weird thing where id not go to the toilet for as long as i could. Almost wet myself a few times. Seems funny looking back on it.
Once i realised that it was fairly easy for me to just kind of stop. Nobody said a magic sentence or gave me any pills i just worked out why i was doing it and it fixed itself. I guess i was quite lucky. It still creeps up on me now and again but now i understand it its alot easier to handle. This are always scarier when you dont understand them.
I kind of had a break down and filled up 20+ pages where i wrote every single thing that was in my head, tears streaming down my face snot dripping from my nose but i was 100% honest with myself and thats how i worked it out. That may work for you it may not everyones different. I certainly know talking about it on here helps me alot aswell.
DO you know why you starve yourself and cut? like what are youre triggers and how does it make you feel?

Talk to someone, preferably someone who can empathize with you.
I have talked to ppl but we just ended up cutting together
Got no idea. Maybe learn to love not doing those things.
Find something similar to do. I started pouring hot wax on myself and i love it. no scars, no stiches.
cutting leaves scars forever. bad idea. try therapy, talking to someone who understands helps alot
I do have a consular and I have been in treatment centers for it but im addicted
every addiction can end. i used to be addicted to weed for 3 years but i stopped it. you can stop too you just need strong will
How would I end something that is keeping me from commiting suicide?

Well you know what its like to be anorexic and you are getting out of it. You do know things and I dont.

Ya I know/ y triggers but they r things I can’t change easly
oh and what did you mean by “I loved being anorexic”?
I love the feeling of hurting myself on different levels and being extremly hungry makes me hurt a lot and I love it a lot
you can be 100% honest with me i wont judge. Neither will anybody else here we all are going through similar things.
I know that it just hard
