Just get a stress ball or punch your pillow

Although I've never cut myself, try and find alternative ways around it. Talking it out is the best thing you can do - and it's a skill if you can do it, since guys supposedly cannot talk about their true emoticions.

Sometimes getting some fresh air can also clear you head. :)

when your upset just cry like normal people do lol and eat loads of food n u can like accidently chop ya finger off whilst preperating a sandwiche then you won't feel guilty about slitting your finger off.

Ostinato made a good stickied thread in the teen life section on self harm, check it out.

Agreed, check the stickied thread for some good information, good luck quitting.

The only time I've ever been slit was in Year 10 when I was working in engineering and cut my arm on a sharp peice of bar, right across the wrist :eusa_sick, it was an accident though, but I swear to god I thought I was gonna die, didn't even notice till my friend screamed :S.

Anyways back to you XD! Basically just what the other have been saying, also try to talk about it, like why you think you need to slit yourself and such(perhaps to a disinterested member (counsellor or nurse), some people find it hard to talk to friends or family members about such things).

When i'm annoyed I take it out on my sister, and then the fight begins where I beat the crap out of her.

[lAdmire]

Maybe you should get some help from a psychologist.

[EverSteve]

I've talked to people not a Psychologist, but for the punchbags, ive tryed it but it just made me wanna do it more cuz of things.

As for the food, Im Skinny and underweight, yet if I eat alot ill think ill get fat, therefore if i aint starving, just a bit hungry ill just stay away from food, and It's a way of not getting fat, although I know i just wont get fat, but its just a weird thing.

I dont slit because im gay, I listen to Emo songs, but appart from that no I'm not at all. I dont do it because im gay, i do it when i get stressed, i can't stop doing it :(

[RandomManJay]

It seems that these "urges" are cause by some deeper meanings, if your concerned about your weight etc. it might be due to some insecurity issues, perhaps some your not aware of which causes this stress which you use self harm as a release. The thing is if it isn't particularly dangerous to your life, you could continue and try and ween yourself from it (not saying you should, it can become worse the more you do it), or you could just stop and seek medical and psychological advice on how to end it more quickly.

Also, you don't always have to speak to a psychologist, one good source of help is The Samaritans, they help with more than just suicide, they deal with self harm as well as others, this is the number 08457 90 90 90 if you want to talk to them, they may offer a different kind of help since they offer a window to put your own issues into perspective, they only listen, they don't judge.

[EverSteve]

Thank You for your advice and the number i might give it ago when im next alone so i can talk without being heard :)

[RandomManJay]

No problem, I'm volunteering with The Samaritans in about a month when I turn 18, so I might as well begin helping now rather than later :P

i dont no how people can do it!
Uhh im squmish and that made me fell a lil sick!
But u need help.
Otherwise u could go even more out of control
does ure mum no!

[Mikkaoz]

I cut myself, but recently I haven't been doing it as much as I do most of the time.

I stopped because the girl I love got so stressed she nearly committed suicide, that was my wake up call to stop, yes I still feel I want to do it but I know it will just hurt another person when I do it.

It is VERY hard to stop once you've gotten going, but talking about it helps.

Seeing some of the idiotic comments makes me feel sick, he is asking for help not to be judged by morons who think just because they use the internet they're safe.

that's not even funny, my brother beats me up >.<


umm yeh anyway, i think most people go through the "emo phase" i did, basically all you do is hide anything that'll be harmful. :P I've i'm annoyed it helps me to write in my diary or do homework or something, then you'll be occupied and wont slit.

slitting has never "reliefed" me like most people say it does, like it makes you feel better, it doesn't, if your doing it "right" it wil make your hand go cold and eugh just minging.

[RandomManJay]

I agree with Mikkaoz, most of you are being ridiculous, how would you feel if you asked for advice and got 'you freak', or 'go slit your throat', your being idiotic, at least there are people who are willing to do something with their lives before it gets drastic, and ask for advice from people who are the same age who, they expect to be mature enough to respect their and others issues and problems that so many people experience every single day, especially through their teen years. This is why this section is here, for those who feel they cant express themselves to people truely close to them, so they seek advice from an unbiased, disinterested individual.

For some reason, my mum and a load of social workers and stuff thought I was self-harming, so they printed me off loads of 'advice' from thesite.org
I'll try and find the link to it. Here. (http://www.thesite.org/healthandwellbeing/mentalhealth/selfharm/minimisingselfharmdamage)
I found it totally pointless, but you might find it useful

I tryed to ring that helpline someone suggested but yesterday I had to go out what was good anyway, but today i would have 2 hours alone, but my mums forcing me to go to Leeds for no reason :|.

What means i've got no time alone to talk to that place, as i cant ring it when people are around.

Dont cut yourself. Am sure your parents arnt a fan of you doing it. Buy some sort of stress reliver or buy some stress pills. When i go on holiday i get stressed and paranoid for some odd reason and i just take stress pills call Kalms. Their okay, dont always seem like they are doing their job but it does help. Be careful if you do buy them. You feel as if their not working and think "Their not working, i need more" Dont. I did it and felt ill which ruined most my holiday. Hope this helped. :)

You can't really just say 'Don't cut yourself', it's not that easy.
As he said, he's addicted to it, the only way to stop once you're really addicted to it, is to go get help from your doctor or something.
