can i stop?

[Misfit]

Hey guys, recently I've started cutting I think it's from a mixture of thing like struggling with my sexuality, family, school, life in general. Anyway I was wondering is there anyway to stop once I've just started? I mean I don't want to cut myself but I just do its weird.

yes there is

Yes. This whole part of the site is devoted to helping those who struggle with self harm. There are many different things that you can try to quit. It may take time, but it is well worth it. You have already done the first step. You have admitted to us that you cut, and that takes many guts to do that. There are many distractions that you can try. You can hold ice cubes when you have the urge to cut yourself. You can wear bands on your wrists, and you can pull those to calm you down. If you feel depressed, you can come here and vent whatever is on your mind. We are always here to help.

Thank you for the reply Oath, that was a lot more helpful :) I like the rubber band idea because I can kinda do that anywhere like school for example.
Thanks again <3
