» lolliepop879 - cutting help
hey. im 13 and i've been cutting for about a year now. i've only told 2 ppl and their 2 of my bffs. i no theres somethin wrong with me but i only do it to relieve stress. just like my friend says, Never too deep, Never enough to die... just enough to feel the pain, to feel the pain inside. iff you need any help e-mail me at corigeisel@hotmail.com-- posted by lolliepop879

In response to cutting help posted by lolliepop879:lolliepop, i completely understand. i don't even cut to bleed..just to get the deep red scratches, to unleash the pain. i can't get myself to bleed, because i cut for control; control of the pain i feel inside me. if i bleed, i can't control that. i guess that's good...but it's been harder for me. for the first few months i was cutting, i didn't even think i had a problem, because i wasnt making myself bleed. i kept kidding myself that if i told someone, they wouldn't even think it was a big deal; it was only scratches. but i realize it is a problem. i hurt myself to feel better. i need help with that. i'm so amazed by all of you that have told people, because even though my best friend out (i told her i stopped 4 months ago), i could never imagine just telling someone. what should i do?

In response to Re: cutting help posted by nicc:it took me about a year ttellel people and the only reason i told them because one of them cuts and the other one has been througa lotot and i knew woulbe ablele to handle it if i told them. a way that helps when your stressed and can't stop cutting is rubber bands. wear them on your wrist and when you get pissed off or stressed out just snap it. it works for awhile. but for anyone who doesn't cut..aproachch the person in comfertalele place to talk to them about it and if they don't want to then wait, DO NOT tell any one else unless they say you can. it would just make it worse for the cutter. they would do it more than they had used to. remember you can't take a cutter's razor away. they'll move to anything tidid bit sharp just to cut.

» danecookrox - advice for ppl seeking help for friends
hey...i'm a 15 y.o. girl and i just read some of the entries and for those of u who are looking for a way to help a friend who cuts.. i just very recently started cutting, but I am already pretty much addicted. I told my friend about it, and they REALLY helped me by being calm about it, showing a lot of sympathy, and always reassuring me thet they were thinking about me and were there for me. They encouraged me to try therapy, because she is in it and it has really helped her. I start therapy next week. But anyway if you're trying to help a friend my advice is to be empathetic and gentle. Remind them of the positive aspects of themselves, i.e. make them feel good about themselves. Talk with them about underlying problems that may be causing this. Try getting them into some type of sport, or something else cathartic but not damaging. Also, be very open to discussion if they hint at it, they may be too unsure to directly start a conversation about the topic. Ask how they are, and mean it when you ask, and really care about their response.umm.. okay i'm done.
good luck

In response to i do it too posted by ilovemusic:hey ilovemusicc, i know exactly what you are going through. I cut for a year but now i have stopped. some advice for you..first of all..tell you parents, i did and they were the ones who helped me the most through all of it..if you absolutely can't tell them then tell your counselor, she can help you a lot, especially because she has had training. when you tell her explain to her why you parents can't know then maybe she will rethink telling them. also my last piece of advice, when ever you have time, focus you thoughts about all of the good things about you and your life. everyone's life goes on, you just have to get through one stopsign at a time and most of all..BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
