NKP Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hold an ice cub in your hand, hold it hard as you can OR Use a ruber band and flick it on you wrist OR Have a hot or cold shower OR Write how you feel down on paper OR Go for a walk or a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dako Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 After cutting for so long, you really understand it more than anyone. You just asked for help, a good first step, but you need to see a doctor to get referred to a specialist. The reasons you cut can be dealt with before you scar yourself even more, or depend on it as a coping method in the future. Sure, your folks might be a pain, but you have a serious problem that many have quit. kita's methods have helped some people stop on their own.

akazie Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Oh hun, I'm so sorry that you are having to endure this but you can overcome it. There is no shame in asking for help and seeing your doctor would be a good start. I know I'm not much help but please see your doctor about this, good luck. PM me anytime if you would like to talk, I struggled with depression for 7 years, I know it's hard but you can overcome it, just like I did.

Managor Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Agree with Kita's ideas. For me, going for a run and expending all my energy worked really well. I hope you have someone to talk to about what's been getting you down in your life; making you depressed and leading you to cutting and anorexia. It might be more worthwhile to try and fix the underlying problem (what's been troubling you in life) instead of one of it's effects (you cutting). Feel free to PM, email or chat to me on msn if you want more people to talk to Hope you get things sorted out, but getting over an addiction to self injury can be very difficult, so hang in there!

Managor Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 the thing is is that i dont have anyone to talk to and i really cant go to the doctor because my parents think that i have stoped and if i tell my dactor my parents will fine out the i have been lien to them for 2 and 1/2 mouths If your parents don't know you went to the doctor, your doctor (as far as I'm aware, might be different laws where you live) has to keep things confidential - Unless what you're doing is life threatening I don't think he or she can tell your parents, but confirm this will someone else first, like I said I could be wrong (call up your doctor and ask if he or she can keep the session private from your parents). And if you don't have anyone to talk to, there are plenty of people here From what I've read of her posts, Kita always has good advice on things, and might be able to relate to you. And like I said before talk to me too if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
