Hey guys,
I used to cut myself a lot, and well I mean a lot, my I had been hospitalised twice, some days couldn't walk because legs had been cut so bad, anyway you get the jist.
Probably like most people I wanted to quit, quit for about a day or so and then do it again, it was like I missed doing it and I had to return back to how it used to be.
Also went through the lying and denial stage with my friends, i promised them that I had stopped, told them it had been weeks while in some cases it had been hours and I could feel the blood dripping still :what: I started to lose friends because of it, they didn't like being lied to and didn't want to me associated with me, the thought of me being alone was too much, which started off the final time time I quit.
One of the last friends i had left of hadn't given up on me, he decided to reward me for not doing it, so when he suggested it he said 'If you last 2 days, i will buy you a pint' and well who wouldnt turn down a free pint so it kept me from doing it, then as i lasted longer and longer he did better and better things, like if i last 5 weeks, which is our next goal, he said he will pay for a night out with me, i mean hell that is way better than cutting myself.
I know a lot of people aren't allowed to drink and stuff, but what im saying is that getting a reward really helped me quit, obv your rewards will be different from mine, just make them something you want to get so it will motivate you to stop, trust me :)
Sorry if that was really boring/pointless but i wanted people to know how i stopped and i can proudly say i haven't cut my self in 4 weeks and 3 days :)
Hope this has helped at least one person stop :) x
