the thing is it's not just a stop and done. it takes a long time. it takes persistance. if you want to talk to someone, you can always talk to me <3

You need to Tell yourself, "I need to stop cutting." i know its hard but u have try and try , it takes along of time and a lot of hard work

Whenever you have the urge to cut, instead of cutting , do something else like go for a walk or a run. talk to a friend. listen to music, write, take a long bath or shower, whatever you love to do.

and remember you can do this , ur not alone im here if u need someone to talk to and you are strong and everything will get better!

Why can't you? Because it's an addiction. It's something that you have come to rely upon, and it's hard to stop--you're not the only one either, I'm trying to stop too. If you're really committed to it though, then you have to fight through the urges. Find anything you can to distract yourself, because it's not going to be easy. Read a book, go outside, go for a run, watch tv, just anything really to distract yourself. And if you slip up and fail, know that we're all here for you, and we support you 100% as you try and get yourself out of this. If you ever need to talk, we're all here for you, and you'll always have support here on VT..

Thanks guys, that means a lot! I just feel so weak, like, I can't cope with anything, it's always on my mind, and it never seems to leave. I hate it so much! :'(
I'm going to take up jogging every morning, well, on the weekends, cause of school to help clear my head. Thank you, so much!
Noirtier ... I hope you can get through it too, you can speak to me when you want :) Vent our frustration on each other :P xx
