You will have to do a lot of thinking and maybe a phsycologist could help you in some way. Just keep on thinking positive and dont let anyone put you down. Its alright, we all make mistakes. If you hurt anyone just give them some time. Everything will be alright. Just keep on going and hopefully life will be back to normal in some time.\n\nif it was something really bad forgive yourself and also ask the one you made the mistake to for forgiveness. Also ask God for forgiveness and for strength to help you at this time. ;)

Cutting is an interesting action and one that causes great concern to a parent. I know kids that just outgrew the need.  If you have developedd the skills to cope without cutting yourself, it may be time to develope the skills to discuss this with your parents. You are the most important person to them and they are hovering because they do not want you to hurt yourself - just at the time in your life when you would like more freedom. So work on getting that trust and independence balance back. Start with a chat. But remember, you are not a renter in the house so you will not be ignored - you are a family member and need family interaction too.

STOP SELF HARM IMMEDIATELY!!!  It is an addictive habit that is very difficult to break.  You use this as a coping mechinism and eventually become dependant on it to relieve stress and unpleasent feelings that you can't mentally deal with.  The more you do it the deeper the cuts get and the more offten you cut.  I cannot stress enough--STOP WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!\nAs for the depressin feelings, see a Dr asap, it won't go away by itself, it will only get worse.  You can be depressed for no apparent reason.  depression is a disease caused by not enough happy-feel good chemicals (usually seratonin) in your brain.  The dr can give you meds that will help balance you and you can live a normal life again.  You may also consider counseling to help you learn to combat the depressing feelings.  Don't let your symptoms go too long without being treated.  especially since you are harming yourself.\n\npeace&hope

Glad you aren't related to me! Yikes!  But, really though you do sound like you have some problems you need help with before you do something you will regret.  Call a mental help line or your doctor or if you really think you might hurt somebody just call the police & they will take you to a place where you can get help.  Please call them BEFORE you hurt or kill anybody ok?

Cutters do this because it makes them forget what they are upset or hurting about.  It is a serious mental disorder that they need counseling for.  Please don't abandon her, but have a serious heart to heart talk with her and persuade her to get help thru counseling.  It starts as superficial cutting, then leads to deeper cutting and other forms of self-destruction.  Offer to go with her to talk to someone, preferably her parents or a trusted teacher at school (assuming you are both still in school).  If not, then offer to go with her to a counseling appointment.  She will feel safer with a trusted friend by her side.  She has a long road to recovery ahead of her.  Please don't abandon her, walk by her side.

You should talk to her and try to help her because soon it could be too late. I was in the same predicament because I use to cut and my friend knew so she started talking to me and telling me that we could fix the problem some other way and that cutting wasn't the answer for it and well I listened and stopped for a while but the thing is I still have doubts in my mind of what would have happen if I didn't stop. SO talk to her and then get her help. You don't have to tell anyone she doesn't want to but you and her should work it out which would be the help I'm talking about.

dude i have the same problem and share your pain. i use to cut myself, but then it seemed so stupid so please dont do that.what really works for me is talking about my problems with my mom,sister,cousin or a really trustful friend, because they dont judge me based on what i say,do or feel.they will try to help you out as much as they can and understand what youre going through and give you advice. you dont need therapy to figure out whats wrong and waste all that $$ when you can talk to someone at home for free :)\nmusic=escape from reality

Talk to someone, you are asking people now, but do you have someone you can talk to close by? I agree with the others and seek help, ask family or a close friend to go with you. Feel free to e-mail me and I will talk with you! When you feel the urge to hurt yourself think about something else to do, like go for a walk, make something to eat, draw a picture, anything! Sometimes people dothings to themselves because they need attention, or someone to talk to, or a friend. You are reaching for help, so you are headed in the right direction!

I'm sorry sweetie, but you have to tell the truth.  If someone else gets in trouble for something you did, it could lead to more trouble for you.  Tell your parents and have them go to the school with you, its always better to have someone with you when you confess.  Good luck

Are you trying to stop? If so, congrats! That's a big first step to take =) Anyways...\n\nFirst, you should research the topic so that you have an idea of what you are dealing with, with some tips on how to deal with it, tell others, and such. It might give you some insight to why you hurt yourself as well. A sight that gives a basic description is  http://www.nmha.org/infoctr/factsheets/selfinjury.cfm  a good page with some links to other pages depending on what you need is http://teenadvice.about.com/od/cuttingbranding/  I would also suggest the site recoveryourlife.com  it is a site of self harmers, either who are trying to stop, have stopped and trying to keep from going back, or have stopped and want to help others quite. It's got a forum and a chat room. It is a very good site because it doesn't glorify or condone cutting (Such as saying things like "Cutting is awesome" or  "Do you know (celebrity name) cuts? that means its tight!"  or posting pics on the site for others to comment on and such. That doesn't mean the members aren't understand or cruel or whatever. They want to stop the problem, instead of encouraging it). \n\nA good thing to try is professional help. I got a counselor for my self harm issues, and he was understanding and helpful. Most councellors are not judgemental and do there best to help, though a few might not be able to help someone with self harm issues, just because they are not well trained in that area of psychology, but most are cool. He/she will help you uncover why you are hurting yourself, and try to stop the behavior. So i would suggest getting a counselor if possible, they can be a great help.\n\nAnother thing to do is to tell someone you love about this issue (if you haven't already). Self harming is a very hard thing to stop, much harder if you don't have someone helping you. Not trying to discourage you, it's just if you have someone helping and encouraging you along the way it is "easier" for you to quit. Tell someone you can trust and that won't judge you, and will listen to you. If you want to tell someone, here is a tip that will hopefully make it easier. (This is meant to be used in telling your parents, but it should work for anything really). You should write out a letter, explaining about the cutting, why you do it (if you know), some information about it (so that they can have an idea of what's going on), your point of view, etc... This allows you to get all of the things you want to get out out, so that you don't end up forgetting something if you tell someone straight forward. You can either give the letter to the person (or leave it somewhere they can find it), or use it as a guide to tell the person(s) directly. \n\nAlso, there are some tips to stop the urges to self harm. Here are a few:\n\n*Draw in red pen on the area where you usually cut yourself. *just ignore it and move on. ALL urges will pass in time, you just have to distract yourself until they do \n*Do something relaxing when you are stressed, take a warm bath, do a soduko, read a book, cross-stitch (that works for me) whatever makes you relax\n*Write in a journal how you feel when you want to hurt yourself, get your feelings out\n*Listen to music that either: 1. calms you down, makes you happy 2. music that talks about how you are feeling, like hurt, angry, etc... (be careful with this though, it could actually trigger you if you aren't careful)\n*Talk to anyone, not nessecarily about the cutting, just call up a friend to distract yourself.\n*Hit something (not yourself) like a pillow or something\n*Pray (if you are religious)\n*Just distract yourself in some way. The feelings will pass, you just need to give it time. \n\nThere are many more tips, but these are the ones i can think of off the top of my head. These are tips to deal with the feelings. Now some tips for the pain part. \n\n*Hold ice cubes in your hand. It gives you the pain

I know this must be really hard for you. I understand what you are going through, and know that i can't help you fully through words, but i will try, for your friends' sake. Now cutting is a dangerous thing, if you rupture a blood vessel you're pretty much dead. You say that they are really good friends and they cut, and one is sucidal. Now, you also want to help them but you are afriad of ruining your personal life. Now let me ask you a question. Do you love your friends? If so you would do w/e it takes to keep them safe, even if it means sacraficing yourself? It's like...would you jump in front of a bullet for them? If so, tell someone you really trust. It doesn't necesarially have to be a parent, and after you tell them and want to help them, go to them and talk to them from your heart how much you care about them. And ask them please not to tell anyone about what you did. If they are good friends like you are then they won't. Please take my advice because i don't want to see anymore death...

Sweety, you might have to get a letter from a psychiatrist stating that you are mentally competent to handle your duties. I don't know what was involved in the self mutilation thing but if it was done out of fear or anxiety or a mental breakdown, you'll have to get a clean bill of health. I don't know if it will work but it's worth a try. Good luck, Honey. If you send me the details in email, I might be able to find something out for you.

I know exactly what you mean, when you have that feeling, you just want someone to sit and listen to you, and not judge you. Personally, I think it depends on the person you talk to, you need someone close to you, who knows a bit of what your going through, but who also knows that you aren't out just to get attention (this is most cutters main worry- and often this stops them from talking to people.) Explain your reasons for self harming and tell them that your not aking for their help- you can get this from professionals. You just need someone to listen and actually HEAR what your saying.

lil bro, you need to talk to your parents and teachers about this.\nabuse is abuse, and it's their job to deal with it, and help you.\ndon't listen to those that say to reply with violence. I don't think they read your question very well.\none answerer was right on that some kids (grown-ups too) try to make others feel bad to avoid dealing with how they feel about themselves.  keep that in mind. I know it sounds easy for me to say it, but try to not let it bother you. try to feel sorry for them instead of yourself,  obviously they're the ones with the problem.\ntalk to your parents, talk to your teacher.\nJake,  I really hope this helps. don't get bummed out.\nyou can write me if you need to . take care. peace

Whatever you do, GET TO SCHOOL BEFORE IT CLOSES!!!  Tell your mom or your neighbor or a close friend.  You could try calling someone in your class who is not exactly your friend...maybe someone who you wouldn't normally talk to.
