How can i stop cutting myself?

I have been cutting myself for almost 2 years now, and I want to stop. But I don't know how. I'm scared that I might suffer from depression but I'm not sure how to find out without telling my parents. Everytime I cut, I'm not sure if itm will be the end,...

and I hope that it is the end. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm still very young and I'm scared. I need help. Please, can someone help me?

for all those answers where people said just stop it doesnt work. it is an addiction just like any other and actually telling someone to just stop could make it worse. do some research and stop being ignorant.
I had the same problem and I kinda still do. I havent done it ever since my parents saw it. I just havent had the urge to do it. I know this may sound like its out of the book or whatever but if you occupy yourself with something that gets your mind of injuring yourself you dont do it as much. odds are you are probably depressed. I was and I still am but to a small degree. if you talk to someoe, anyone it helps alittle.
I pretty much stopped and the way I did it was I wrote a lot, and I focused on who I was and what was wrong with me. I realized that cutting myself was stupid and only making me worse. it only gave me another reason to hate myself, to be ashamed of myself. so I took a step back and looked at everything in a different perspective. I wasted two years of my life beong depressed and cutting and all that good stuff. I didnt know where any of the time went. if you look closely, you'll see too that you wasted time cutting and with depression. my advice is to try your best to ween yourself off of it by yourself and if you cant do it then you need to go to someone. your mom or dad and as much as they yell or dont they still love you and theyll do what it takes to help you. dont wait forever though because if you dont take care of these problems now, they'll carry through to your adult life and thats when things get more serious. if you want more help with this at all, im her. Fun mail me

Okayy well if you need someone im here for you ! So you can just send me a funmail to talk about your problems! If, not the only thing I could think of is you telling your parents so they can get your help.

I used to have the same problem. Try couceling, but dont take medication, it really doesnt work as good as they think it does. And plus if you do, you cant stop because it will mess up your brain. But if you get a good counceler like I have, she will help you get out and do things like volenteering (at whatever you prefer which can be at an animal shelter, or nursing home, etc.), They just get out and help you do things it really does help. My depression has gone down a bit since I got counceling. Ask for a case worker. My case worker might as well be my counseler so thats what I call her. If they dont offer you these things, ASK! if you really wanna feel better, let them help you, but I really dont suggest anti depressants. Maybe if you need it for something else tho. Tell your parents you think you need a couseler. or your school guidance couseler. You dont have to tell them your cutting yourself, I never did. Its just good to have someone to talk to. If you dont get a good counseler/caseworker, dont be afraid to ask for a new one. They find things to do for you so your mind will be so wrapped up in what your doing that day, youll forget all bout your depression. Try volenteering at an animal shelter. I do it and I LOVE IT!! You besically walk the dogs, play with the other animals, feed them and that kinda thing.
HOPE I HELPED!!

Then just stop! It's not like it's addictive. You don't get an awesome feeling from cutting yourself, it's painful. So if you want to stop, JUST STOP!!!

simple just dont dont cut your self

Just stop almost never works
.
'Cutting' is the brains primitive way of trying to regulate overwhelming feelings. It is an attempt by your brain to find relief, if only for a short time.
You would greatly benefit from professional counselling. They can help you through this tough time and help you find better ways.
Talk to your parents, or a teacher that you feel close to, or the school guidance counselor.

Well Im ganna start off by saying im here if you ever need some one to talk to, fun mail me at any time im always awake. But I think you might need to go see a counseller about your problems. What could be so bad that you have to hurt your self ? Well I've seen a lot of kids go down this path it never turns out good, You should never be scared to talk to your mother or father they understand will be able to help you a great amount. I hope I helped you.

Have A great Day,
