Replies SamanthaLouise Posted at 7:37 am on Dec. 18, 2008 The rubber band around the wrist thing is really helpful, I've tried that for a while and now i dont cut as much as i used to, only twice in the past month so i'm quite proud =] Bakker Posted at 10:06 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 I used to self-harm really bad about a year ago, cutting, burning, etc, and still do sometimes. What you need to do is to concentrate on reducing, before stopping entirely. What's really useful is if you keep a rubber band around your wrist, and ping it against the soft inside but instead of cutting, or hold onto ice cubes until they melt. idontwanttobehere Posted at 4:52 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 wow the last two really helpful thanks. {sarcasm} plumc0la Posted at 4:52 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 I know you said in a non-people way, but talk to someone. Whether it be your best friend, your parents, boyfriend/girlfriend, school counselor, anything. Talking about it is the first step. Trust me. Desertfoxel Posted at 4:45 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 i dont get the whole cutting thing! just stop! do something else, watch a movie or something Ska Ninja Posted at 4:43 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 don't do it KrisLuvsCars Posted at 4:39 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 When i tried to stop it made me even more stressed out, then i decided i needed someone elses help. Talk to someone who wont judge you, try your best friend or a close family member. Keep i diary or a journal. When you just cant take it anymore. Write about it. babybluebitch Posted at 4:39 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 i'm doing it too so im no help i cant stop cutting thats like my drug   libertybluejay16 Posted at 4:39 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 i used to hate people who cut themselves to " get rid of the pain" but then i got close to someone who does it, you just really need someone there with you, Ive never cut before, but when im angry to the point that i think i might do something bad, i go out running, or work out, it really helps your channel your feelings IWantYou1991 Posted at 4:38 pm on Dec. 17, 2008 It's hard when I started I never knew it would be an addiction, whenever i get stressed, it is the only thing i can think of.
