Yea, I've been there... Just don't lose hope in yourself. You've been cutting for a while, and honestly, it's going to feel like the hardest thing you've ever done, but you've got to find a way. I cannot tell you how to quit, nor can I erase your pain, because you've got to find your own system that helps you. If it's telling someone, or just plain will power, you've got to test them out and see for yourself. And if I could erase pain, I'd be flying to Cali right now. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore. If you need to vent, or talk, I'm always open :yes: Stay Smart ~Holli

If you want to stop you have to be really focused on it. Have you got anyone that you trust and are close to that could help support you through this? It's always nice to have help from others giving you encouragement. It's an addiction that many people don't seem to understand. Try distractions though you'll have to find ones that work for you. When you get the urge listen to music, write down your feelings, go for a walk/run, surround yourself with people so you can't cut.
The first step if you are really determined to stop is throwing away your blades. It will be hard but having them there tempting you can be even harder. Don't be afraid to tell anyone and ask for help though because you don't have to be alone, people care about you and want to support you through this.
