How to stop?

Asked By: GuardianAngel12 13-15, F 10 months ago

I didn't cut for a while but I cut today and yesterday. Something triggers it like yesterday something happened with my sister and then I thought how worthless I was and I cut.

Or a place that I see can trigger memories if why happened there. Or something I see. I usually listen to music and it helps but. I really wanna stop. And I refuse to tell and adult so don't suggest that. Something I can do to stop.

Is This A Good Question? (1)

I used to cut, I understand how and why it is done. I have a scar on my left arm that never went away but fortunatly most of my cuts were skin deep and went away with time and you can only see them when I get really wet and cold at the same time.

I would be more than willing to discuss the finer points of stopping with you and how, maybe there is even a discussion group on here made for that. In the end though I just stopped.

I wanna stop cuz I know I'm hurting people. I dot want to burden my boyfriend with this problem anymore. I promised so many people I would stop but I never did stop. I was doing good. The urge is so hard to resist. I'm jut tire of people treating me like crap. And I have a history of cutting. Since 4 grade. And in 5 grade 2 times at beginning an middle. And now.

My cutting phase was short lived but intense I only did it from the ages of 17 to 19. For me cutting was a way TO hurt people that cared about me. I did it to know they cared enough to cry and worry. I didn't have a lot emotional support and sometimes I just needed to know they cared. I made the same promises you probably made like "I wont do it again" which lead into a short period where everyone was giving me the emotional support I felt I wanted but eventually I would crave more.
