Seek a counselor. OR. medical attention, or just tell your parents, they will tell you what to do to help you most. :]

Lol honey18, quit cold turkey means just stop doing something (v.s. slowing down, e.g. stop drinking vs. drinking less)
And cutters sometimes find snapping a rubberband on their wrist helpful because it kinda mimics the pain of cutting without causing the actual damage.

And yes you might want to go talk to someone about it. It's hard for most people to stop on their own because you need to learn new coping mechanisms and that is hard to do on your own...

I've cut myself many times. I don't know how to stop and I admit that I sound like a hypacrit telling you what to do if I'm doing it myself. but that's not my point...you need to find out the root of your problem. you need to find out what triggers you to hurt yourself and this will help you to stay away from it.
