How to stop cutting?

Ok, here's the story,,,I cut myself all the time, have been diagnosed with depression, not on meds, because the ones I was on made me hallucinate...I don't want to tell my parents...I don't know how to bring this up to my councellor, but I don't like having to wear long sleeve shirts all the time, and I don't like having to be terrified that my parents will find out...my dad plays these mind games with me and my mom, making it seem as if we are both crazy...I lost it on him today, ran across the street to my friends house, then had a huge fight with him over there...then I came back over here...took a hot bath, and cut my arms from my wrist to the middle of my forearm...I don't want my parents to find out, and I've tried doing other tuff, I've tried rubber bands(I leave huge welts on my arms with those) but I don't know what else to do, I have come closeto suicide a couple of times, and I don't want to die, but sometimes I do think about what would happen if I did...I don't want to kill myself...but I'm scared I will cut to deep sometime...what do I do?

WELL FIRST OF ALL THAT IS VERY CRAZY YOU DOING THAT BECAUSE THESE SCARES WONT GO AWAY AND YOU REALLY NEED TO TELL YOUR PARENTS AND COUSINLER OF WHATS GOING ON. YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP DOING THAT CAUSETHE ONLY PERSON YOUR HURTING IS YOUR SELF I AM SURE THAT YOU ARE TO GOOD OF A PERSON TO BE DOING STUFF LIKE THAT. IF YOU GET MAD AND YOU WANT TO CUT YOUR SELF JUST GET YOU A PUNCHING BAG AND START STABBING IT OR HITTING IT. JUST BECAREFUL HONEY BECAUSE YOU COULD HIT THAT MAIN ARTERY IN YOUR ARM AND THAT WILL BE IT CAUSE YOU WOULD BLEED TO DEALTH BEFORE YOU COULD GET TO THE HOSPITAL... I WILL BE PRAYIG FOR YOU THAT YOU GET THE HELP YOU NEED AND IF YOU EVER NEED SOMEONE TO TALK I AM HERE...

I cut myself to...although I dont look depressed I know how you feel. ok so if you dont cut urself to high then try wearing those arm sleves and a shirt. If you think it might make you look emo or something just choose a color other than that. Anyway im not sure about the counciling cause I dont go to counciling but yea. I hope you dont kill urself...I really dont.

I would have to say you might want to grow some balls and start touching yourself or something...Cutting is a dumb thing to do just stop it and chew on some gum or something...ORRR find someone to talk to.

I understand what your going through. I used to cut myself all the time and once was very close to death. I am not diagnosed with depresssion or do I look like I would be. I have cut down almost to never at most once a month. My biggest help I had was my one bestfriend. she was always there for me and everytime I felt like I had to do it she would come over and we would just talk about anything and that would keep my mind off of it. So my advise is to create that relationship with some one because although you might not realize it your friends love you and wont enjoy seeing you hurt or in pain so they will do anything in there power to help you. If you need anyother advise just ask.

Everyone who has already said.. or who is going to say that 'cutting is dumb' should really look up their facts a bit more and be more respectful.

Ok colts18 I know vaguely what you are going through. You have to try and talk to someone.. If you find it too hard to talk to your parents then maybe confide to someone at school. Do you have any close friends who you feel comfortable telling? It always gets so much better telling someone. Its a relief. Tell your counseller. He/She is trained to be able to help people and they can help you.. I promise.

If you need to talk about it anymore then just send me a funmail.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you pull through this tough stage of your life.

Thanks everyone, but how do
I bring this up to my councellor? any advice

Eat DARK CHOCOLATE trust me it will help itt releases endorfines which are released when you cut your self.

Just tell your councellor... I know its hard, but I find avoiding eye contact really helps, get it out there, just tell him (or her) and get it over with. They know what cutting is and will not freak out (if s/he does, then find a new therapist)...
'I cut myself' its not that hard...
