You CAN stop!
It takes alot oh will power and streghth Ive only gone a week or two without it and i cant promise it gets easier, it gets harder because everytime something bad happen i want to cut.
but whos in charge you or the cutting?
You are!
You have to control yourself and say NO.
And you have to put your whole self into trying to stop not half

Get help from a cousler or tell your parents and get therepy
I'm going to a counsler soon but you need to be able to tell yourself to stop doing what you have been doing it might seem hard but you CAN do it
I believe in you :)

The first part of beginning to stop is acknowleding that there's a problem and that you want to fix it (which is what you've done, so well done so far)

You're saying that you find it difficult to talk to people? I'm like that, and this is what you told me when I posted it on my previous thread;

"we need to accept that problems happen and we can only stick together to sort them out dont worry what people think - we could be half way around the world from you and what does it matter if thats the case? youre never going to meet them and you dont even know they exist.
The people who reply are the people who care, you should let them in so we can help you"

Being honest, that is really good advice, so why not apply it to yourself as well as other people? Sometimes it's difficult to see the good things which can be done to help ourselves, but simply by talking to me, or any of the other VT-ers on here, what you said in that post was all proven to be true.

If you want to try and find things to replace your self harming with, here's a list of things you can do to distract yourself, and also there's links at the side of the page which will give you ideas on how to defeat urges, etc:

ok.. wel as u'v been cutting for such a long time u are goin to find it difficult. but dont let that distract you. first thing yu need to do is tell ur parents and get them to book you in to a councler. they will talk thorugh with you and help you quite. put a rubber band on ur wrist and everytime u want 2 cut flick yourself. it may help. for the scars theres not alot you can do, try bio oil or e45 cream, they will help reduce the scars to make them fade..
Stay strong!!Good luck, tel us how it goes.X
