I'm addicted to cutting from 3 years and everytime i try to reinvent myself i fail due to my surroundings. I havent cut for a couple of days as my mother has hid my knife and a glass peice. My cutting started when when i was in school in grade 9th. i spent 2 years in tht school and now im in college. today was my first day in this college and i thought it'll be a new begining for me and i'll forget everything and change myself. But what i thought was not real. Today was the worst day. Everytoime i wanne change i fail maybe its bcuz of my lack of confidence...i think ive lost it. i dont want to spend another 2 yrs in this college just like the way i did in my school with cutting. i wanne improve things as i cant take this nemore. I cant change this college also. My mother has changed too as first when she came to know abt my mental problems she was very cooperative. Sometymes i feel as if my own family is somebody else's theyr like strangers to me. I feel like running away sometymes. My parenta have high expectations from me tht after studying i'll go into a respected field, but i dont think so i want to. no matter how hard i try i cant seem to forget things and i feel hopeless.
The real problem is tht i want to change myself qucly n make a gud impression of myself in my collgege and make nice friends otherwise i'll have to spend nother 2 yrs crying....plz help people

You need to talk to a therapist or a doctor about this, and dont be afraid to tell your parents, or another person you think would understand, to get you help. You need to seek some help!!!:)

First of all, change takes time.

You need to take it one step at a time, and if you do take a wrong step then you can fall back to the last right step - which won't be too far away.

You need to build you confidence up. Socialise with those your own age. You need a support group other than your family. Though they will be there for you no matter what they cannot always deal with everything you're going through.

You're mother may be in pain watching you doing this to yourself... look for a substitue, an elastic band on the wrist has been suggested many times. Just DO NOT CUT YOURSELF. Please.

Many more people care for you than you think. Think of those...

Give this college a chance. Just don't reveal your past yet - otherwise people may hold back.

Good luck. PM if you need to

I can understand what you're concerned about, and I think I would be trying to do what you are now, and quitting now!

The hardest part is always asking for help, and you have done that now. So, we can make a start.

It's like someone who used to smoke cigarettes. You get into a habit of doing it, and you can't help it. A certain situation comes along and you light one up, and it's the same with cutting. You get into a certain mood or something happens, and you instinnctively think about cutting.

Well you need to break the cycle.

We can only give you some advice and some past experiences but you need better help than this.

You need to get to the Dr's and they will refer you for councilling. It's not good, as it hurts at first to talk about things, but it will help in the long run, I promise.

They will look at why you do this and if there's ways of getting you away from that and maybe focussed on something else.

Above all, I'm sure you have friends who support you. I am here if you need to talk.

Don't change your class now.

Give this a chance. You can't do hundreds of changes at once or it will all fall apart.

Be patient, change takes time and nothing will happen over night. But if you truley want to get better, the frist step is admitting you need help and getting it. And remember to talk to people you trust to get through hard times, i was also into cutting when i hit grade 9, but i knew it was right so i got help about a yr after, and i didnt want to admitt that i needed it but i knew i did. It was the hardest but best thing i ever did for myself, i havnt cut myself in almost a year.

Remember to be patient with it
And to talk to people you trust
and im here if you need to talk.
