Since it sounds like you're cutting to feel the pain to counter act the numbness that you're medication is giving you I would suggest that you find another way to feel without actually harming yourself!. When I went through recovering this I would keep a rubber band around my wrist and snap it HARD when I felt like cutting!. Another good idea is to hold ice in your hand when you feel like it!. This way you're still feeling something without the risks of getting infection from your cuts or cutting too deep and hitting something important!. Good luck hun!Www@Answer-Health@Com
replace the blades with those yellow rubber bands
and whenever you feel like cutting stretch the rubber band and hit it on your wrist hard, it still has pain but it dosent leave scars!.
thats one way to slowly stop cutting!.
then also, why is the reason you cut!? ask your self that and solve it
and you should keep talking to your counselor so they can help you moreWww@Answer-Health@Com
