Hii, Im 13, And have been 'cutting' for about 1year and a half!.
When i was little my dad left, and i got to the age where i wanted to meet him, but he didn't want to know me!. That frustrated me, and i turned to self-harm!. Than i went through a stage of being bullied, and i returned to self-harm(now doing it for two reasons-my dad and the bullies)!. I stopped then for a few weeks, but then something else triggered it again(i dont know what-i cant rememeber)!. And ever since then ive become 'addicted', i used to not cut for weeks and weeks on end, but then when i did do it again, i'd go mad with it and completely cover both sides of my arm and my stomach, people who saw it were devasted but i was numb when i 'cut' so i didn't realise how bad it was, and told them to mind their own business!.
Now i really cant stop, i do it every few days, and it's took over my life!. Im constantly hiding it, from teachers at school and when i go out shopping it's so embarrassing if people see it, becus they stare like im some kinda phscyo!. :(
My parents found out, and my mum sent me to the doctor, and they said 'blah, blah, it's superficial, she'll get over it, and come back after xmas if she doesn't', i didn't stop, so i went back to a different doctor, then a different one, and that one reffered me to a psychatrist, in a few weeks, ive got an appiontment to see someon, and they're gonna like 'analyis' me to see if i need to see a psychatrist!.
It is horrible when parents find out, especially if they dont know much about it, and just think they know why you do it and stuff!.(like mine did/do)!.
But they only way to get help is be, telling someone- a close friend!. Relative!. Trusted teacher!. Doctor!. And then get some proffessional help!. Also you can e-mail me XD rachael!.virgo@yahoo!.com
I'll always talk to you!.!.!.
Hope you get it sorted xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

I used to cut myself a few years back!. Its like all the pain disappears!. I was seriously depressed and didn't know what to do!? It is extremely addicitve I know!. It sarted off where something really bad would happen and I would turn to cutting but after a while the slightest thing would set me off!. It was my way of coping!. But when you ' see the light ' or whatever and come out of being low and depressed you will regret it because the scars are not pretty and are a constant reminder of old feelings!.
I started to see a counsellor two years ago and somehow it helped!. She didn't give me answers but she listened!. Sometimes thats all you need!. Sometimes not!. I guess you need to look at why you do it!? Why do you do it!?
Finding the route of the prblem brings you one step closer to solving it!.
Any questions Im happy to try and helpWww@Answer-Health@Com

And one more thing you should never be disapointed that your dad sent you therepy because he found out you were cutting at least you have a dad that loves you and cares about you and wants to se you get better but on a serius note good luck !!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, you are absolutely not alone!
And it's so very hard to people who haven't done it to realize what it's all about!. It's not about hurting yourself; it's about the emotional release cutting brings!. When nothing else can make you feel human or grounded or connected or alive, cutting can!.
I'm concerned that you have already been through therapy and haven't been able to receive adequate help yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Been there, covered with tats to hide scars!.
It's easier to handle physical pain than emotional so you go to that you can deal with!. Problem is, it doesn't work, you have to slowly start dealing with hurtful emotional issues which are probably at the heart of this matter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
