I have friends who do the samething and have stopped I am currently in the process of trying to quite cutting after a while its like drugs your just have to do it, but your stronger than S.I.{Self Injury} don't just let it take over.
Try not to let yourself get upset {sad angry w/e is your trigger} if you get upset listen to music you like that sooths you that calms you just walk away from the place where you have your cutting instrument out of the house to a park somewhere that is not there in that place. For a while it will be hard you might just lose it and freak out on whoever start crying and yellin everything but you'll be okay.

I don't know how to make you stop cutting yourself because that is your choice. But. about a year ago. I walked in on my cousin cutting himself. and he didnt have a really bad life. If he would have cutten himself any deeper he would have died. but luckly he just severly hurt his hand. He can barely use that hand anymore and he had to go through a very painful surgery and a painful recovery. But Cutting yourself will never solve anything. Whether you are depressed..Mad.. or whatever you are... But... Maybe you need to be put on some medicine to try and control this habit that you have.. I dont know what else to say.. But. It wont solve any of your problems..

Hope I helped

Your not mental. You just dont know how to control ur pain. I went through this a year ago and my councilor helped me soo much!! Try this:
When u get mad, dont grab for your knife or w/e it is u use to cut. Keep a rubber band around ur wrist. When u get mad.. snap the rubber band onto ur wrist as many times as it takes to relieve ur stress. It starts to hurt after a while and u feel better without actually hurting urself. Also, try getting one of them stress balls and keep by ur bed or where ever u spend the most time. Squeeze it as much as u can when u get stressed. It may sound dumb, but it really does help.

Hope I helped! if u need anything else, drop one in the inbox! Im always here to help!!

Hey! Well a good thing is u realize what's wrong, before it gets even more dangerous! Try your best telling your parents, because no matter what's goin on in their life, ur still their top priorty! they're suppose to love u no matter what, N ur suppose to turn to them when ur in great needs! so give that a try! =)Seek help, like go to theropy! Well i had this issue like awhile ago! It wuz a bunch of emotions N i didn't kno wut to do, so i did this! Some of muh friends wuz therre to help me, N tell me how much they cared, N i didn't want to hurt them, so i stopped, but it wasn't that e-z, cuz i be thinkin bout it! But for this subject i would like to thank da ppl who stopped me! Especially Emm! she wuz therre for this! i appreciate it a lot! Well if u are interested in sports do dat! Cuz it worked for me, it got muh mind way off of this subject! Try da rubber band thing! A lot of ppl say it helps, i'll try to research more on this! but i juss want to say thanks for everyone who trys to help ppl! Killing yourself is neva an answer, or hurting urself too! it's da answer, but u realized it, so try to seek help,talk it out wit a love a one! write it down in a notebook! u kno juss get it out, but not in a way that can harm u! u kno wut i mean? please be careful! cuz nowadaes suicide is often, N it's wrong cuz ur life is special, N ur herre for a reason! I hope i helped, N changed ur mind on some things! Tell me on how things go for u! GOOD LUCK,TAKE CARE!!!!!!

Tell your parents you want to go to the psychiatrist again, or talk to your school counselor/psychologist about your suicidal thoughts. Depression is a treatable illness, and you can get better through therapy and maybe medication.

When I used to do that, I got sent to a mental hospital. You're lucky that you haven't gotten sent there yet, and trust me, you don't want to be. Those places are pure evil. So I would say use that as a goal for you. If you keep cutting yourself, then you'll end up in one. And it's not fun.
I now go to a theropist and I'm on meds and all that crazy stuff, so it wasn't worth it at all. I would suggest going to a theropist, because it's a way that lets you talk about what needs to be talked about.
As for the anger, try getting a stress ball. That way, if you wanna hurt something, you can squeeze the shit out of that (e.m.f.), no harm done to you.
