First of all, it's good that you recognise that you need help.

 

Have you tried counsellors, youth groups, or even a GP about it? If you don't like your family GP, or afraid that he/she may tell your parents, go to a GP in a different surburb. They are there to geniunly help you, and give you geniun professional advice.

go to a GP

what is GP?

General practitioner, i think. Like your family doctor. Talk to your guidance counselor or something. But please, get help for that!

You're right, you need to be around for people who care about you. Don't let them down.

Hey babe,

 

Its great that you realised you need help with this cause you cant do it on your own and you shouldnt have to.How did your family react to your uncles death?Its good that your little sister and your nephew are some insperation to get help.Did anyone else in your family react the same way as you?

Did anyone else in your family react the same way as you?

not really i was closer to my uncle the the rest family was to but not as close as i was.

So have you looked into getting any help yet babe?

Talk to a counselor, let out everything dont hold anything in tell them everything, they great help, but they can only help you if you want help, if you dont then no one can help you

looked into getting any help yet babe?

Hmm so does you family know about it?And yeah finding a counselor that you trust is really good.

so far i don't think my family knows about my problem or not.

Hi, there. I'm new here. When I was a teenager, from age 13 up to 19 or 20, I had big problems with cutting and related emotional problems. What I found is that there is no one anyone can make you stop - you have to stop yourself. You have to realise, within yourself, that the things you care about and are worried about losing (little sister, nephew) are more important than the temporary relief you get when you hurt yourself. It took me realising I would lose my boyfriend if I didn't stop to make me put it away forever.

 

You also need to develop some other coping skills. It's good you're trying rubber bands and shower - have you tried ice? It would be pretty hard to actually damage yourself with ice, and yet it hurts a lot. Just get an ice cube and squeeze it or rub it on the skin where you want to hurt yourself.

 

I do believe that you need to get talking to someone professional - my counsellor, although she couldn't get me to stop, was very helpful and speaking to her enabled me to cut down and see things more clearly. Your school should be able to hook you up with someone - just go to your school counsellor and say you're having emotional difficulties and want to speak to someone without getting your parents involved. That should get you on the right track.

 

*big hugs* Good luck, girl. You're right, you do need to stop. You need to stop so that you can get on and lead a wonderful, balanced, healthy life. There will come a day when you realise, very clearly, that you don't need cutting in your life anymore.

Your school should be able to hook you up with someone

im homeschooled so i cant really go to my school for help.

That does make it harder. In that case, I think you need to talk to your parents. You don't have to go into detail at all, but just tell them that you've been feeling really sad/upset and you want to try to see another counsellor (presumably they knew about the one you were seeing before?). Also, I know something that helped me was finding a local youth group to be part of - mine was through a non-Christian church. Just having other people who love and support you can be a big help, and youth groups can give you just that.

Hmm what about your girlfriend??

what about your girlfriend??

by this do u mean why dont i talk to my girlfiend about cutting?

Yeah she might be able to help you

Yeah talk to your gf, she should be able to help you, or even go get help and take her with you for surport

i might just talk to my gf about it ur right she could help. thanks

Its cool.So how did it go?

So how did it go?

talking to my gf about cuting helped out a lil to stop cuting but now me and her are fighting more then normal because she now scared she going to lose me.

Have you tried the Ice thing yet. Where you take a couple of pieces of ice and squeeze them in your hand really hard?

Talk to her, tell her you are never gunna go and that you could never leave her and that you love her so much and you dont want to lose her either.

 

And yeah do what DYT said with the ice, it works its great, it helps alot
