So, I have been a cutter for years, but I stopped four months ago, and haven’t since, until tonight. I was doing so well, but things have been going wrong lately, and im really depressed, and i couldn’t help myself. I am sixteen and live on my own, and  I thought i would be fine if i just cut once just to get it out, but i’m having a very hard time stopping. I feel like i need to keep doing ‘ just one more’; only thing is, there is always another just one more after. I don’t know how to stop. Please help, and advice on hiding them from family at thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

Who celebrates thanksgiving dinner in october?
Yes, believe it or not, there are some things i do not know.
Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October.
I’m Canadian. Lol.. So, I guess the answer to your question would be Canadians?
Well. I didn’t think i’d learn anything new about Canada today, but there it is.
For help on cutting, try something else to use as relief from pain. Music, or writing. It won’t help on its own, so when you can’t help but cut, cut one less line every time. Slowly make the number smaller until it’s only one. Then, it will become much easier. For hiding the marks, I’ve heard a bit of cover-up does the trick.
Alright.. If you don’t want attention then start cutting your upper thighs..
Than being said.. swimming will still be a problem.. and doctors exams. I’d imagine most doctors will be able to figure out what the scars are but i never had an issue so.. who knows?
If you already have visible cuts.. a friends cat/kitten is a good excuse… it depends on how many cuts you have and how suspicious they look. I’ve always used mtn biking as my standard excuse..
It’s also how I managed to stop cutting. Every time I felt .. wrong.. i’d go riding and throw myself around until i was scratched up and bleeding. Through that, i figured out strenuous exercise gave a lot of the same sense of .. calm? centering? personally i always cut because it focused myself away from emotions… anyway.. biking did that instead.
It also gave an acceptable excuse for being injured.

you could use make up to hide them. I don’t remember it correctly but I had searched the internet for help. that site mentioned something about applying green concealer and when it dries u have to apply the concealer that matches your skin tone
Google it. you’ll find better answers.
