you haven’t dove too headlong into the addiction yet, sounds like you just got a taste. PLEASE STOP RIGHT THERE. I never had the option to contemplate whether to cut myself or not- it just happened out of a depressed rage ( contradiction in terms). sounds like you have the option- from what I have read into your question. take the way out before you get too far down the road. you already know all the answers. you know you are feeling depressed. obviously you must have an idea of where that depression is coming from. and it sounded like you are aware of what you shouldn’t be doing to yourself while you are depressed. start filling in the blanks and you will be halfway there. now you will need to consult a guidance counselor. maybe one of the advisors on this site. it starts by you saying”___is happening right now , it is really making me depressed “ feeling depressed isn’t a bad thing- simply means you are in tune to your mind and your surroundings. it happens to all of us. the hard part is releasing that energy in a POSITIVE WAY. once I was freed from cutting and bleeding, I was able to turn more of myself towards my artwork. do I still occasionally feel depressed? sure I do from time to time. do I occasionally feel like cutting? every now and then, but I start writing, or doing something else- gets rid of that feeling. it also helps to accept that I am not a perfect superman type. accept my humanity, and that I am not alone in some of the feelings I have had. another thing I would do is just listen to music- a lot of the lyrics are written by people feeling the same things, it was their way of letting it go positively. if you are angry- beat the hell out of a pillow, feel sad - let those tears flow, want to shout at the world at the top of your lungs - find a place and go for it. it all helps. once you start cutting it will start happening with more frequency. “well it worked when I was depressed”, “ it will work when I am ticked off”, or “it will work when I am too high strung” don’t fall into that, I have scars that will be with me for the rest of my life, I was never satisfied with a ‘little cutting’ or a ‘little blood’. wounds kept getting deeper and deeper, bled more and more. depression kept coming back. find a counselor somewhere and begin talking it out, I have done it numerous times- it helps- really it does. TALK THINGS THROUGH AND YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT. NOTHING IN LIFE IS THAT BAD, AND BELIEVE ME I HAVE FACED IT ALL, BROKEN HEART WAS POSSIBLY THE WORST, ALMOST FINANCIALY RUINED ( ALMOST AS BAD). I AM STILL HERE AND WELL BALANCED MENTALLY. YOU WILL BE TOO. TALK TALK TALK.– GET ‘ER DUN!! SMILE .

Answer #2

Do not cut your self! Stop think what made you feel depressed? Are you stressed out at school? depression is triggered by truama or an unhappy experience that you have not dealt with. When you realise what that something is then talk to someone about it! and if that dont work see your GP and ask for advise.

Answer #3

I wouldnt start that if I was you ! I’ve been doing it for 5 years and all I’ve got is scares and I cant stop it! try and find another outlet if I was you, yeah its a great outlet for while then you have to try and hide it from people which brings you more stress to be honset! talk to some one else if I were you!

Answer #4

I, myself, am a self-harmer. I’ve had solid depression for 5 years. And cutting is something I would NOT defenitely recommend. Stop before you do anything else. What I’ve tried however, that does work is I draw on my arms with red pen, and that helps get rid of any temptations. Also, keep yourself busy when you’re depressed. I don’t cut as much now as I used to. I have found that expressing my feelings through art and music works. There is always some way to pour out depression rather than cutting yourself. Just stop before you get into the cutting, because you will regret it, and may possibly be scarred for life.

Answer #5

Please stop now. After three years of cutting all the pain and thensome from when I started till now is still with me. I’ve recently started counceling and am getting better. I haven’t cut in almost a year now. Well I kind of relapsed, but not really the other night. But it’s very addictive and it does not help anything. You can get infections and accidents to happen where you cut too deep. It’s much better to deal with your problems openly. The guilt of cutting will eventually get to you as well as you realize that it’s not something your proud of, and those scars represent times in your life you don’t want to relive but still have to because the scars are there! Please talk to someone before you do this again, a councelor, a teacher, a parent, a friend, ANYONE!! talk to me if you would like.

Answer #6

Trust me if you start now like l0standbr0k3n said hiding it will be hard enouf and eventualy some one will see you scars and when they do it wont be good. When my mom found out I was 2 seconds from the syke ward. Pluse wonce you start your cuts will heal bue you will hit another point in your like wheir you will pick up a knif and do it again. Im not even shure but their is somthing that comes from doing it that it just helps but thats why you should never start couse like baldwinwolf said it is addicting. Some people take it to death so try talking it out with any one who will lison but who you can trust.

Answer #7

Want to try something DIFFERENT ??? just do the following RIGHT NOW ;

1–chant ‘hari om’(hari as in HURRY & om as in HOME without the ‘H’) do this repetedly & a point will come where you will feel like you just want to close your eyes ( in that case case do it).At this point increase the number of O in om like HARI OOOM & then HARI OOOM & so on.when you chant this VEDIC MANTRA then remain silent (no thinking!,fidgeting,moving,etc) for an amount of time taken to chant this one mantra.this looks very very simple but its effects are very very very large (even ALBERT EINSTEIN would not had imagine it !!!). this is called ‘CHUP SADHANA’ & I learned it from ‘param pujya ASARAMJI bapu’.—>”www.asharam.org “ also read JEEVAN RASAYAN a book from —“http://hariombooks.goog… “ tihs will help remove all weakness from you,believe me millions have obtained benefits from it ,literally.

note: women durimg their periods are not to chant OM but they can chant HARI

this I say to you on basis of teachings of ‘param pujya ASARAMJI bapu’
