Well first polls only in polls forum please as it states in the rules.
Past that though...I know how you feel, some of my close friends got into cutting. I skipped it and went straight to suicide attempts with hanging, overdosing, stabbing through heart...ect. The thing about cutting is that it feels so good...yet inside you know it's so wrong. It takes all the emotional pain you feel and puts it in something easier to handle normally...physical pain. What I suggest is talking about your problems with someone you know you can trust just to be there for you. It helps to have someone there for you like that...other then that, it's a lot of effort really.

You know, I don't want to sound cold and brutal, but the cutting/depression or whatever you're going through is, quite essentially, a state of mind. The game you're playing is strictly with that of the will. You can choose to stop just as easily as you can choose to continue. Just as Elanor Roosevelt stated: No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, the same applies for any other emotion you have. No one has the power to make you feel a certain way, you are your own person and can choose how you want to look at life and live it.

What you said is true to a certain point. But others can make you feel inferior, through words and/or attitude. It's also true that how you perceive others' treatments toward you is what made you start cutting. To stop might be difficult when it's become a habit, but if you really set your mind to it, I'm 99% sure that the habit will gradually stop. I hope the best for you. smile

I used to be in that exact same position. What I did was I just tried to vent my anger a different way. That didn't work for me but try that before you move on to the next thing. Other options are try lowering the cutting to a little less each day until you don't cut anymore. The very last option WHICH YOU CAN ONLY USE AS A LAST RESORT is to just find something that doesn't pierce through the skin, but can still hurt you. I tried it with a mechanical pencil and I thought all the lead was out. When I stabbed myself on the arm with it three years ago, part of the pencil broke off and it had some graphite in it. I had to go to the hospital because otherwise I would have to loose my arm if I didn't let anybody know about it. I still have the scars to show. Just try the first one. It's probably the best. I don't cut anymore, though. It's like one day it just stopped. I didn't have the urge to do it anymore. I hope sincerely that will happen to you as well.

Talk to a close friend, or a trusted family member about things that weigh you down. THat will take a little pain off. Also try getting a hobby. I used to be a cutter. It is a hard road to stop. But it is worth it? Just try imagining that your loved one was doing this to themself. How would you feel? Also, cutting releases a homone that gives you a rush <_< Ironically that was 10% of the reason I cut and another 10% was for the pain, 10% for seeing my blood leak out and licking it up the 70% was all emotional and stuff weighing me down. There are tips. I can try to ask my friends about that. I was able to stop cause I almost killed myself in math class -.- (best way to stop, do it during math class and make a really deep cut than you stop straight cause you don't want to die in such a horrible class)
