I am a severe self injurer!

My family wants me to get help but i don’t want to go to a counselor or a therapist, because i am afraid of the consequences! My parents think that i have stopped cutting but i haven’t! =[ How do I stop cutting?

You dont

Everytime you’ll just pospone hurting your self and you ll do it again, eventually - I know cause I am a cutter too.

Just ask for help, for a counsellor ; what are you afraid?

Find something else that relieves the pain such as art, yoga, exercise, music, anything. Something I want to recommend to you. Watch a film on youtube called The Secret. I think this might help.

try saint johns wort, i was depressed once and I used it for a few months and one day my mindset just changed and i was able to move on with my life, the planet we live on is an amazing place, but the world we occupy is often a really bad place, everything we need has already been given to us but evil people try to take it away or pretend its not there, saint johns wort is a herbal mixture, it comes from the ground, it can help, lots of things can help, but lots of things are bad, stay away from man-made drugs, they are evil, go to a nice place like an empty church and just sit there peacefully, find a river and sit by it, all the natural things in life will help you to get better, you are a strong person, i can feel that already because you wrote this message, jesus was a great man, he said seek and you shall find, and he is right, don’t listen to people who tell you to take prozac or some other drug like that, they don’t know what they are talking about, good food, flowers, water, trees, all these things will make you feel better,
peace

hey,
Im sorry your going through this :( Well you can’t really just make yourself stop cutting. Go to the root of th eproblem and try to fix that. Why did you start cutting and what makes you continue to cut?

my mother thought i stopped but i havent but i haven’t slowed down. my mother and just about my whole family tryed to get me to co to a counselor for years but i refused finally my mother forced me but for about a year of it i didn’t talk and i didn’t go often because i’d miss appointments by overloadeding myself with school. dont do that but go talk to someone and everyone is scarred of the consequences and possible diagnoses but the consequences are alot better than those of not going. and to wing off of cutting find a distraction and move your blade of knife away from you put it into a hard to gett area that way when you feel like you want to cut and are just drained you will force yourself to go without it because you dont have the strength or energy to go get it.
