Maybe you should talk about friends who you are sure are able to understand? This is a real problem, talk to your parents maybe?

If you get the need to cut yourself think about the consequnces, how are you going to go to a swimming pool, a lake to bath?

Maybe you can find another way to make you feel better, like biting in a citron. Sounds idiotic but it does help!
You are more worth than doing that, cutting isnt the right way.

The best way to help yourself, is to try and work out why you do it. Maybe think about how you felt or what happened to make you start.

And as lifeless says, you really should have someone you can talk to. Whether it be on here or face-to-face. Talking to someone has helped me a lot. And if you want to talk … then I’m here if you need me.

Be strong x

You keep it hidden yet you still reatched out, a part of you wants to get caught.
I think this is a serious case of self asteem issues, you have to start with baby
steps: Firstly when writing use a uppercase “I” instead of the lower case “i”.
I dont know you from Adam, but I’m pretty **** sure you are worth more than a lower case “i”.
Compliment yourself remove all negative things from your life, hateful friends, dark
un-lit rooms:razor blades, and just for once in your life concentrate on you and making yourself happy, I know where you are because I’ve been there myself.
Live for you, all the best and good luck.
You are worth more than you think :)

hey i used to have the exact same thing i would cut all the time until i was talking to my girlfriend about and just the way she handled it made me stop (all she did was ask me why and that was it)(but just the way she said it, its hard to explain)
i know people telling you “oh thats bad for you you shouldn’t do that” won’t make you stop,people freaking out on you doesn’t help either (i know)
you need to find someone who will say the right thing to you someone who understands or an alternative (i started smoking excelent stress relief but don’t do it, it’s not any better mabey even worse)
