Help with coping

[Obscene Eyedeas]

I was going to quit i really was and my friend is begging me to slow down but i just can't and Everytime i hit a snag i cut to deal with it ive tried many ways of quitting but i need something outside the box to help me quit. i can't go back to cutting i just can't. So any ideas?

Have you tried any outdoor activities? Why not try and get involved in a club and make some friends for distractions. Maybe reading and going to the library that way you're doing something with you're hands. I really hope you quit Laura there is no weening in addiction. You have to want to quit bad enough and you just do it. I know you may say easier said than done, but I accomplished it. I was done with it. I accepted that it wasn't doing me any good if I continued so I quit. Laura you such a fabulous girl I really hope that you stop and soon. It breaks my heart to see you do this to yourself. I hope things get better Laura <3

I understand that it is hard but truly, deeply, just thinking to yourself that you don't need this. Think of what you want to do when your older and wonder if you will enjoy having cuts and scars on your arms all the time.
You have to stronger you will power.
Although distractions work I'm thinking that when you do eventually stop then you may associate that activity with cutting.
Anyways try all suggestions.

i had a cutting problem too. i just find other ways to deal with my pain like listening to music in a quiet place

Try doing anything that takes your mind off cutting, any of the ideas the other have suggested are good
You need to keep yourself distracted/ busy, hope this helps
