I keep and keep and keep on cutting my wrists! I’m probaly addicted to it and i want to stop, but i can’t! Because after something happens again and i feel like jumping of the next best bridge,i cut myself to relax and it just feels so good, but i know i shouldn’t be doing it, but how do i stop? It makes me feel so happy and how does someone stop doing sonething that makes them feel happy? Help please!?

I am sixteen and have been addicted to cutting. I have tried stopping twice and each attempt lasted for a month but each time I turned back to cutting. Like you said it is relaxing. I have started a different approach to stop cutting, rubber bands. I snap rubberbands on my wrists when I am upset or mad and though it hurts and leaves marks, it is better than cutting. I admit I still haven’t stopped cutting but maybe I will someday. Some people are able to stop cutting just from this rubberband technique. Maybe you should try it.
@determined_rebel: thank you for your addvice, but i am already doing that but just like you i still keep on cutting myself even so i do now have less cuts on my arms than bevor! I really hope that maybe someday we both might get over cutting our selves!!
I would really like that. My best friend is one of the only people who know I still cut and she wants to take my razor away. Maybe you could try the same thing? Give away your main cutting object away or throw it away. It won’t make the urge to stop or stop you if you are deperate to cut but it might help even more. I hope I don’t sound like a hypocrite because I still cut too…
You are both, so loved. You are called beloved by something Greater.
Seek God, He is there-alot of things, circumstances, trials don’t make sense. Pain does not make sense. Suicide does not make sense. We were not called to live for death!
People have not been faithful to you guys, the world has broken you as it once did me. In my moments of fear and depression and tears I called on the Lord and He answered.
“God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.”
1 Corinthians 1:9
I’m 18 I used to cut myself constantly. It does help & don’t let people try to convince you somethings wrong with you. I found a substitute it may not be the best one but i think its a hell of a lot better than going to the hospital for blood loss. Marijuana is my substitute, i recommend it if you are willing to just stick with it & only it. I’m here if you would like to talk
@determined rebel and mimi28: i love cutting my wrists. im addicted too. determined i did the same thing you did as far as trying to quit i never though did the rubber band thing i should try that. my friends however walk away when they find out..though i try my best to cover it up it doesnt work someone always finds out.
Determined-rebel: you dont sound like a hypocrite at all. were all just trying to quit thats all that matters.
My friends walked away. They can’t look at me anymore without that disappointment in their eyes. It hurts.
i bet. i dont think my friends are disapointed…more annoyed since so many lies at my school..there just done.
thank you guys for your support! it’s been quite a while…actually this is the first time i have actualy felt like some one does care for me and what i do <3 thank you!
@determined_rebel: then they aren't you real friends or they don't know how they should act around you but anyways you should keep your head up high…(i'm not really the best person in giving addvice sry)
@fakingit: your friends shouldn't walk away or get annoyed..if they are your friends they should want to know whats going on in your life…and i mean everyone has their own way with dealing with problems and ours is by cutting ourselves..it might not be the best solution but it aint the worst either o.O
Thank you mimi. I feel like I’ve finally found people who understand me for me. I am glad I found this site.
I feel the same determined_rebel! 😉 i have only been on this site for about 4 days but since then i haven’t thought so much about suicide as i used to and thats thx to you and everyone else! <3
Yeah same here. LAst night I was sooo depressed and I stayed up and talked to a few people on here. I’m not the only one who thinks nights are horrible. Ha it was a good time and I actually felt better by the time I went to bed.
