I need to stop

[VictoriaGotaSecret]

i need to stop cutting. its starting to go to the point where im burning and im thinking about it constantly. lthoughts like ''i need a new knife'', ''i need to push harder'',dreaming about the blood, th words i cant engrave into my skin,... .

i want to talk to my uncle and get help from him. i just dont know what to say. what will he do.

HELP!!

hey, sorry to hear things are really bad. my uncle was the first person i told. i picked him on purpose because i knew he wouldn't freak out about it. what is your uncle like normally? do you think he will be okay about it? i think you have to be careful that you pick the right person.

i don't know what you should say. maybe just ask him if he knows anything about self harm to start with? when i did it i waited till i was in the car with him then i said that i thought i needed some help (because i burned myself pretty badly and it ended up getting infected). i showed him and then he asked me what i did. so i said it was an accident, but he pretty much knew it wasn't.

i am getting actual help for it now. they haven't told me to stop, they just go on about triggers and stuff and figuring out what causes you to do it etc. i don't think it is really working for me.

good luck though.

Hey you guys --
Today, I told my best friend that I was cutting myself. It made me feel a lot better.

This is what I did: I told him that I hurt my arm (I'm always telling him random crap like that), he asked how, and I said I cut myself, he said how, and I said with a knife... he got it after that.

I know it's not the same, but maybe you, Victoria, can use some of that to tell your uncle. I know it's kind of about the other person asking the right questions, but maybe you can find a way to bring it up like that?

I hope this helps. :)
