Have any of you experienced cutting with someone in your family or done it yourself? When I was younger, and having a really rough time after moving countries I started cutting... DON'T DO IT!!! It becomes more addictive than you would think but luckily enough I found a saviour (my boyfriend) and was able to stop but sometimes I still get the urge....

Oh God hun you may need counseling...please dont do it take care fo yourself...I dont know how soem peopel can do it, when I get a paper cut Im in so much pain and hate it. My friends daughter did it and scarred her whole arm and it does not look pretty when she got out of her depression now she hates looking at her scars and wears long sleeved sweaters to hide them, its not pretty to hurt yourself and definately if you are doing it please get help....it cant be that bad where someone cant help you or get the right meds for it...

i would also if you could, go and talk to schools and post seminars, tell young girls the concequences about cutting. Maybe make a website, girls have to know the concenqunces about cutting. You are a strong person to have quit and even though you have the urge to cut again, you dont.

I agree you should talk to someone professional. Focus on positive things right now. Whenever you feel like soing it again, think only of happy thoughts.

I think you should just see to it that when you start to get depressed you divert your attention to happy thoughts. This might just help you not have this urge to cut yourself again.

Do not think of the negative, think of possitive 24/7 always look for the good in things. Before you are about to do it, meditate calm down take some breaths, and think about good things. It may change your mind, Dont get yourself down by doing that, think of the long term effects of that. Do you enjoy doing it when your happy? If you actually enjoy it, you do need to see counseling. if its just something when you are depressed, always think of the good in things, maybe you are depressed for a purpose or something, who knows. But think about it please.

I know someone who does that. But she was able to overcome it. Just concentrate on the positive things in your life. Don't let one failure or bad thing let you down easily.
