Cutting

[snoman]

Hey everyone, so i have been cutting my wrists for the past year now, nothing too deep, just enough to draw blood, but when i do go deep, it feels so good, and *sigh* i just cant get enough. How do i stop my self harm before i end up in the hospital...again, or worse?

One of the main things that probably alot of people are going to tell you is to distract yourself. Do something that will keep your hands busy and keep your mind off of the cutting. I hope you find the strength to stop cutting yourself.

Hey Coby,

Welcome to TH!! We are glad you could reach out for help by coming here.
I know it is really hard to stop SH but you can do it. You already have the first step done: wanting to stop.
If you haven't yet, try some of the alternatives to SH.
That list has many suggestions and not all of them may work for you but give them a try and if the first few you try do not help then continue finding other alternatives. Maybe this list can give you some ideas and help with creating your own list of alternatives.
Also in stopping SH having someone to talk to really does help so do you have anyone you trust such as your parents, a sibling, counselor or friend that you know would be willing to help you?
You can try stopping on your own but if people already know about this and if they are trying to help let them because you do not have to go through anything by yourself.
I hope I'm helping and I really think it is great you want to do this.
You can send me a PM or VM if you ever need anything.
Take care.
