I ran out of space on my arm to cut :/ thers no clean skin it's all scars and cutting those isn't the same and not being able to is stressing me out really bad I want to die but I'm to much of a coward to go thru with it. I don't know what to do

You need to get your mind off of the urges and the addiction hun. Distract yourself. Watch tv, read a book, get your feelings out through writing or drawing or some other art. Talk to a friend about how you feel. I know it's hard being stuck in self harm addiction--I've been there before. You have to decide though, whether you want to get better or not. If you do, the first step is trying to beat the addiction, and the best way is to distract your mind from it. The things I mentioned are just suggestions, there are countless other ways to distract yourself and help you keep your mind off of the urges you feel. I would definitely recommend taking up writing or drawing, or even both, because they help get out your feelings in a much healthier way. I would also advise you to talk to a counselor at school about this, to help you, well, not want to die. And to hold you accountable. Or even find a friend to hold you accountable. A counselor can help you get through this better than any of us here can, and they can help you begin to not want to die, to begin to get better more than we can. They're trained to help in this kind of stuff. If you ever need to talk, we're always here to help and support you, and we'll always be here if you need us. :hug3: I hope you get to feeling better hun, and that you're able to get your feelings out in a healthy way.

you could try putting a rubber band or hair tie around ur wrist and then snaping it when u feel the need to cut, but if serously want to die then u need to talk to a teacher or your parnts, and i know that thats really really hard, but they WILL understand. and trust me it will get better. :)
