I used to cut, too.
3 years..
I stopped two months ago, because my stepmother threatend to have me committed.
The Urges come every now and then, but I just take a few deep breaths, put some cheerful music on.
OH
And when your sad.
Try putting a pencil in your mouth, like,
Your mouth -> ( ____ )
Your mouth with the pencil in it --(----------)---
It tricks your body into thinking your smiling and is supposed to elevate your mood.
Also;
Try Drawing where you want to cut with a red marker. Or the rubber-band-trick, where you tie a rubber band loosely around your wrist and snap it everytime you want to cut...
Google Search it, there's tons of different ways, you just have to find a way that works for you..

What is it in your life that inspires such strong feelings of desire to bring harm to yourself?
When you feel this way, perhaps you might want to try taking a walk...even if you can, try working on saving up to get something such as a punching bag to take out your anger on. Maybe even develop a hobby that could help you channel that anger, pain, or resentment in which inspires you to hurt yourself such as martial arts.

Try writing out everything that is bothering you--rant about it, and write through why you feel the need to hurt yourself. It may be able to help you organize your thoughts, and stop you from feeling like you need to self-injure so badly.

Find a friend who you can talk to. It doesn't have to be about cutting, but talking will help relieve whatever stress you have.

emolord2 help i cant help it.my life is s**t so i just end up hurting myself i cant stop it. ADVICE? crying I know how hard it can be to stop... But every time you feel the urge to cut just focus on something happy... If that doesnt work try to do something to distract yourself until the urge passes. The ruberband thing helped me so if you want to try that....

I also cut.
It's been a year or two by now.
But in my case when I cut I've also gotten really into my eating disorder, and then when I get really into my eating disorder I have suicidal tendencies. It happens quite a lot actually.
The best thing that you can do is to avoid the stress and focus on the good that goes on in your life. If your having problems seeing the good things, look to your friends for help.
When I get the urge to cut, I almost always have something (like a necklace or a hair tie) to mess with that takes my mind off the feeling.

I hear exercise is the best way to keep yourself from cutting. Just daily things, like sit ups and whatnot. It produces endorphins.
Also, try to have a friend (if you're comfortable around them), basically, be your coach. So if you have the urge, they can encourage you not to.
And if all else fails, I find the best option is thinking about how disappointing it would be if your loved ones discovered. It's a guilt trip, but it usually keeps me from doing it, at the expense of my evening being filled with depression and hopelessness. =x

emolord2 help i cant help it.my life is s**t so i just end up hurting myself i cant stop it. ADVICE? crying emolord2 how old r u if u dont mind me asking - the reason y i did is becuz we all go thru that point in life where we think its all hopeless and we have this urge to just end it - when i was like around 13 or 14 it was kinda like that, but it gets better i think the great thing about life is that it is shitty, i mean ur never bored u have an oppurtunity to make something - something great out of ur self-percieved nothing and when u do cuz if u really want to u will - ur gonna feel amazing - ten times better than those ppl borne into what u wud call a perfect life i think hardships r just a chance for us to grow think about it.

i have cut for about 4 years now and i have tryed to stop many times, but i cant. it gets harder the more and the longer you do it. so how long have you been cutting. if its not to long than you would have a lot bigger chance of stopping than i do. after so long i just gave up on trying to stop.
if you have any questions or just watn to talk just pm me.

I cut too but I'm trying to stop. It's so addicting and it feels like cutting is the only way out of those depressing times. Find a hobbie: write, play an instrument.
What's good for me was on my old account I'd write in my journal.
That helped a lot. I suggest writing. Get your emotions out.
When I'm online and you need help, PM me.
