Too many cuts!!

[EternalSadness]

I keep cutting, I can't spend half a day clean at the minute!! I don't get any satisfaction from cuts so I just keep going and going until
I get physically tired! I can't keep doing this! I'm running out of places to cut and I can't help it! :(

UM.. HAVE YOU TRIED HIDING THE BLADES? Blindfold yourself and throw them out a window, seriously. If you are getting nothing out of doing it, and its self harm, and you are RUNNING OUT OF PLACES TO CUT are you sure you want to be doing that???? Just control yourself or something. Restrain. Calm down and think with reasoning- Is there a point? Are you maybe over-doing it since you are covered in cuts??? I don't know what else to say.

If you are 'running out of places' it's quite serious you could do yourself major damage. I strongly advise you to get professional help. Right now you should take deep breaths and try to clear your mind. Gather together ALL of the blades in your room/ wherever you keep them and throw them away. Get rid of sharp things from your room so you're not tempted. Take it slowly and think "I'm going to go the next hour without cutting" then do another hour and so on. If you get the urge try drawing on yourself with red marker/ the butterfly thing or something like that/ snap an elastic band at your wrist (this is still self harm but not as dangerous as cutting). This might help you in the short term but I think in your case you should get professional help. If not, at least try one of those anonymous helplines, google search the ones in your area.

throw the blades out, get rid of them. I know it's hard, believe me I do, I wasn't getting much out of it before I stopped but the reality is you don't get anything out of it anyway, it's a bunch of scars for what some feel 5 minutes of relief, it wouldn't be worth it if you got anything out of it, never mind if you're not. Stay strong, put the blades down, start fighting :hug3:

I know exactly how you feel. Nowadays it only relieves anything till the bleeding stops. Then all I want to do is start it up all over again.

You could try four types of ways to stop:

1) you could ween yourself by trying to lessen the self harm.
like instead of harming (what I assume is multiple times a day from what I read) a couple times a day. Try going the whole day without it. If you can't do this, then just try harming only once a day. When you've managed to only harm once a day. Try going a whole day without it, if at the end of the day you have to do it, it's okay. Because you still went an ENTIRE day without it.
After being able to not harm an entire day, try to go three days without it. If you can't do three days, just start over those three days. When you've made it through the three days. Start trying for an entire week. When you make it through the week try making it through a month.

2) if you can't see yourself weening that way try to just lessen the harming everyday.
So say you do 100 cuts, the next day only do 90, and the next 80... etc etc. till you reach zero. Then try to ween yourself the way I mentioned in #1

3) Stop cold turkey. Just throw all the blades away. And start fighting the urge right away.

4) there's a thing called the "butterfly project". You draw a butterfly on your wrist or wherever you usually do the harming. You write a name of a loved one in the butterfly's wing. And don't wash it off. you just let it fade on it's own. in the shower don't scrub at it or anything. If you decide to harm before the butterfly is gone, the butterfly dies. It's supposed to help get you to stop because the name you give the butterfly. It's supposed to be as if that person is replacing the butterfly, and instead of the butterfly simply dying the person does. I know that sounds stupid cause in reality it's just a drawing of a butterfly, but it's just supposed to remind you there are people who care about you and to not harm.

Those are the only tips I have. I hope one of them helps you :)

So, as raych mentioned, there is something called the butterfly project, it helps and is worth it, but it may seem like it has no effect, but you need to put the name of someone you really care for/cares for you.

Also, you have you tried finding another outlet? As i don't know why you cut, i can't give you recommendation, but anything from sports to reading to video games help. though they aren't always as effective as some other methods, they can help.

If your actually running out of places you need us, you need an actual professional.

^ I don't think you quite understand. You can't just stop. And he's not just doing it for no reason.

I know it's super hard, but I think at this stage you should tell one(or both) of your parents and get help from a therapist.

[numbness]

i think that you should go and talk to someone professional like your doctor...there's only so much help/advice we can give and maybe the doctor will give you an alternative way that is more helpful

This.

If your self harm has got that bad, I advise you to get off the internet and see a professional. They can help you more than we can. Listen to what everyone else has said also, throw the items you use away.

Yeah there is a point because its the only thing keeping me alive really. Well I'm not fully covered but there's only so many places I can do it where others wouldn't be able to see. I have tried hiding the blades but that doesn't help.

I don't care about doing myself serious damage... I can't get help either, it's a very complicated story but I can't because that would actually land me in a worse situation, not just for me, but others too. Thanks but I'll be able to get more blades when I want them and there really isn't any ways that I could use to help me in this way...

Going to get help has a high chance of hurting me much more and family members because of some very complicated and serious issues, unfortunately, it isn't that simple.

Stop. I know it is a lot to ask for.. But trust me. You need to stop.
Whenever you feel like cutting, do something else. Go out for a run, draw, paint, watch a movie, cook, take a cold shower, listen to music.. Anything you like expect cutting.

First things first, throw your blades away (or whatever you are using).
Good luck & stay strong.
