It worked for me. I was a heavy cutter. Good luck. Let me know if you want to talk.

Help me with: I’ve heard my roommate vomiting in the bathroom at night at least three times in the last week.

if the elastic band thing doesnt work, go to the school counselor. Tell them you’re depressed. They can get you help without telling your parents or anyone else. (I suggest you don’t tell them about the cutting or else they are forced to report it, just tell them your depressed) It really helped me to just talk to someone. They can often also help get you medication, sometimes even without parents.

ok, dont talk to your counselor then, but definitely talk to somebody. Often schools have separate counselors for important issues like depression. If not, then a close friend or a trusted adult.

I found that the rubber band helped me from pulling out my hair, inflicting head traumas, and scratching my arms raw…but i think it depends on you, and how you feel.

Help me with: So, sometimes I annoy my Fiance, and sometimes he annoys me…either way, there are so many reasons I love him.
