No more "self harming" myself.....?!
Question: No more "self harming" myself!.!.!.!.!.!?
In 7th grade I started to cut!. Then I stopped that cuz I got into eraser burns my freshman year!. I realized that there was no reason why I should be doing that and quit all "self harm" in November last year (about half way through the school year)!. But so anyways!.!.!.!.!. I've made it through half a school year not doing any thing, but I'm afraid I'll start again, the thing that mostly keeps me from doing it and because I play water sports, so everyone can pretty much see it and say things about me!. So!.!.!. how do I deal with it!? Don't say the usual!.!.!.!.!. punch a pillow, talk to someone, blah blah blah!. I don't deal with stress well and I need to think of something to help me cope with it!. Do you have any ideas!? Please help me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had the same problem for since 7th grade!. im not a senior and i haven cut since april of my freshman yeah!. i got a job where i had to wear shorts so i had to stop!. i get the urge a lot especially lately dealing with colleges!. i havent told anyone but my boyfriend has asked me about the scars on my ankle(where i used to cut)!. i havent told him yet, not ready to tell people but what keeps me from doing it is just that i want to be able to tell him, and someday in the future maybe, that i stopped fresh year and never did it again, it seems such a waste to have quit if i got back to it!. as for the stress, if you find out tell me!. what i do is i open a word file or a myspace bulletin, type out whats going on and how i feel but never post it!. i save it on my computer and then read it when i calm!. it helps so much, especially the myspace one, its like my brain thinks i posted it, so i kinda talked about it, but i never do so i dont have to deal with all the questions from people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
each night, or every other, pretty oftenly is what i am trying to say
type a page of what you are feeling and the thoughts running through your head
when you are done just exit and don't save it
also try to get through things one second at a time
i can go one more second, one more, i can do another second, only one more, one more, i can do one more
just keep doing that until you dont have the same feelings
try to lay off the caffeine, and you should try telling your parents or find someone you can vent toWww@Answer-Health@Com

I myself am a former "cutter" and I feel your pain!. I give you credit for wanting to stop!. There are a ton of things to do, you just have to find something that stimulates you and keeps your mind off cutting!. I once read that music if a great stimulator for the body and it is very pleasing to the soul!. It may be hard to put the music on in the first place, but then you can calm yourself down by breathing and just thinking about your dreams!. Give that a shot, and I'll keep you in my prayers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used to self harm!.!. my therapist recommended snapping a rubber band on my arm which helped or this may sound lame, it did to me!.!. he told me to take an old long sleeved shirt or pair of jeans and draw red lines where i cut!. it didn't work but maybe it will for you!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

i was once emo lol just dont do it!. its stupidWww@Answer-Health@Com
Stop and think about how pathetic hurting yourself makes you look to others!. Doing that stuff just turns you into a punchline!. (i!.e!. How many emo kids does it take to change a light bulb!? None!. They prefer to cut themselves and cry in the dark!.) And you don't want to be a joke, do you!? You say you are afraid you'll start again!.!.!.well, you won't if you don't let yourself!. Only you can control your actions!. Stress is part of life!. You will always have to deal with it, so suck it up and don't turn to pointless and weak-minded solutions that are no solutions at all!. Maybe I sound harsh, but maybe if someone has laid it all out for you before, you wouldn't have started on such a destructive, selfish and stupid path to begin with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I understand you very well!. I cut and was giving myself eraser burns also!. I always found ways to hide them!. I haven't did for over a month now thanks to my best friend!. It's hard to stop and so I want to congratulate you on how long you have stopped!. I know you don't want to hear someone tell you to talk to someone, I said the same thing!. I'm 15 by the way!. I found a person I knew I could trust not to tell and when I felt like I needed to do it again she would let me call her!. She would talk to me and find out why I wanted to do it and if I really needed to or if there was something else I could!. By the time we got done talking I wouldn't feel like doing it anymore!. No matter rather your a male or female you need to express yourself!. If you don't have someone to talk to you can keep a journal!. Every time you feel like you need to do it you can write about it!. If you don't want someone to read it you can burn it after you feel better!. You could also find something to replace you urge to cut with something that doesn't harm you!. I go outside and run till I can't run anymore or I do something that takes a lot of energy so I feel to tired to cut or what ever it was I was wanting to do at the time!.
