Hi do you live at home? Can you ask your parents for help? How old are you please? This could affect any advice we can give you.

Thanks JAZZY_JAZZ I was just a bit concerned you were too young to be on this site as the minimum age is 16.

Can you ask your parents for help? Are they in? Or how about another family member? Or a good friend? Please don't give in to the urge to cut, use anything you can to distract yourself such as washing up, watching telly - anything. I know it's hard but the more you cut the more you will want to do it. Hopefully after a while the urge will pass.

Carry on with your meds and therapy meanwhile and one day you will no longer feel like this. You are very young so have hope for your future. All the best.

Your are welcome love. Another trick is to take our your pain and anger on something inanimate like punching pillows. This can let the tension out and you will find it easier not to cut.

I have never really done this so don't really understand much about cutting. I know there are others here who have or do and I hope some of them will come in soon.

Apparently wearing a hair band or elastic band and snapping it on ur skin can help when u get the urge to cut... have u tried that?
