Young cutter over here...
1 month () (Permalink)I am 12 ( almost 13 ) and i have been shelf harming since i was 5. first i was scratching myself, then came a screwdriver digging into my skin, and my first real cuts were December 2012. At first i was using a pencil sharpener blade, then i progressed to where i am now, over 200 cuts/scars. my school counceler figured it out because people were concerned. then my parents figured it out. I bleed so much sometimes i pass out. i tryed stopping but only lasted 2 weeks before i relapsed. now i have stopped trying to stop. i have been suicidal since i was 7. now i like to use blades from disposable razors. now i kinda want a better razor. should i stop? how can i hide my wrists in short sleaves without robbons or bracelets or makeup?

3 weeks () (Permalink)Hey love,
Look I know its hard. I know that it's hard to stop. but ive been there too and just please give this a chance. Maybe i dont know you but it doesnt mean that i dont care about you. theres always a chance that things will get better if you just let it happen. please just let me in.
you probably dont want some stranger telling you what to do with yourself, because its your own body. but please keep an open mind.
for whatever reason your cutting,you need to stop.
and im just going to come straight out with it because you do. i know its less tiring to take the easier way and keep cutting, but I have faith in you so please give this a chance. Every girl in beautiful inside and out. I know your young (im 13 too) and you may not belivee me but its true. Your a beautiful person, because you've known pain. beautiful people do not just happen. so if you dont want to talk to your parents about it (its okay, i understand) and get some proper help, then please please please find a solution to this problem. One way to help is to trick your body into thinking that your hurting yourself. it is not selfharming in anyway and does not include blood. the trick is to take an ice cube and to squeeze it in your hand. The reason why this helps is because when you cut, your body releases endorphins that control moods and your emotions. so for that few seconds when you cut, its numb and you are completely relaxed. this is why poeple find it addicting. When you squeeze an ice cube the body also releases endorphins and you get the same feeling. for your previous scars, dont try to conceal them. you are who you are and without them you wouldnt be you. please please stay strong darling. i will keep my fingers crossed for you. just please please please try. for me and for the sake of people you love and who love you. I hope this helps. If you ever need anyone to talk to, i mean about anything, just come to me. If you ever want to contact me then just visit my tumblr: inyourdreams-x.tumblr.com (just type that into the search bar) and send me a message. If you dont want to talk to me then talk to someone you trust and you care about.
I am truly sorry if this doesnt help.
Just know that if i had the oppurtunity i would stay up all night talking you out of suicide.
please please please try.

You can use hair bobbles?
3 weeks () (Permalink)You can use hair bobbles? Make-up (foundation, skin powder, consealer ect) How about an plain undershirt? or a school jumper or something? - when you run the scars will not be noticeable (i know because i like track too)

15 and Cutting
1 month () (Permalink)I'm 15 and ive been cutting for a few months but each time i cut they are all over my arm and then the next night i do it again and i re-cut those healing cuts and they get so much worse and they bleed and are so hard to hide im afraid ill run out of places to cut and then go over one too many times...

Hi,
I'm 15 too (16 in 2 months). It really isn't good to cut over cuts. I suggest you try the Butterfly Project it helped me for a while but I think it's best not to cut over cuts try and stop maybe think to yourself "It's not worth it" because in all honesty, it isn't. I've been cutting for 6 months and trying to stop I know it's really hard to but please try.

Healing and quitting?
3 months () (Permalink)I am 16. I cut a couple times last year. And I stopped for about a year.
But then home problems started to arise.
My brother started to threaten to kill me, and he had a bunch of military knives, so I don't doubt he could have. His threats started becoming more real and terrifying, and he started become physical.
Thats when I decided I couldn't take it anymore. So I cut myself once. Then again. And again.
This last time (2 days ago) I did it again. 39 cuts to be exact. Some are deeper than the others, and they are all on my leg, fairly close together. How to I make it heal faster?
How do i stop myself?

i have no idea what you're
3 weeks () (Permalink)i have no idea what you're going through right now.
I honestly dont, and thats why it could be easier for me to say it than it is to be done. but please just keep an open mind and let me in.
things may be hard at the moment but there is always a chance that things will get better.
Try to keep out of your brothers way, and if that doesnt work then tell your parents. maybe telling your parents will make it worse, i dont know. please jst try to seek some help. you simply cannot go on like this. i dont know what your life is like. your reality is completely different to mine. so im sorry if this doesnt help. the only reason im writing this right now is because i really care. I do. your post caught my eye in the sea of all the others. so i offer a solution with your cutting problem. i know that its hard to stop and i know it feels better when you do it, and it doesnt even seem wrong. but try squeezing an ice cube in your hand. when you cut your body releases endorphins and endorphins control your mood and you emotions. when you squeeze an ice cube you get the same feeling of numbness and complete relaxation that cutting does for you. thats why its so addicting. so please please try. for me and for all of the people you care about and who care about you. I'm sorry i cant help about the situation about your brother but please try to talk to someone about it, because its a serious matter. if you ever want to talk to anyone about anything, i mean anything, just come to me. i know i dont know you but it doesnt mean that i dont care about you. please try. just know that everyone feels broken sometimes, and things WILL get better. i promise. i will always keep my fingers crossed for you. things will get better- you just have to let it happen.

Cutting...
3 months () (Permalink)I started cutting three days ago and i have 15 cuts. I started cutting because my ex boyfriend started spreading rumors about me, and telling everyone I am crazy and then there are some other reasons that i dont really wanna talk about. I am 15 and i am in ROTC in High School, and i dont know how to cover up the cuts when i have to wear my uniform, btw its a short sleeved uniform... does anyone have any suggestions. btw most of the cuts are on my wrist

Hey girl. I'm also in ROTC. I
1 month () (Permalink)Hey girl. I'm also in ROTC. I have a short sleeve uniform too, but we were given jackets, so I wear my jacket. When we get inspected, I hide my scars by leaning my arm to my side... at the position of attention, just lean your scarred arm over to your body more so no one sees. If you're worried about throughout the day, when you walk in the hallways, hold a book in your arm (if you have inside cuts). I don't know how to hide outside scars. I hope this helped some!! :)

I think I may know you. Maybe
2 months () (Permalink)I think I may know you. Maybe not... I've spoken to you before about this. You're not in trouble. Talk to me tomorrow in class or message me. And it helps to wear your lightweight jacket. But during inspection when you have to take it off try makeup. I had the same problem earlier this year.

P.S. Nobody will hear about this and remember we're a family in the corps. You can talk about anything with me.

Hey my names abbie i stopped
2 months () (Permalink)Hey my names abbie i stopped cutting about a year ago but after fighting with my mum i did it again about 2 days ago i dont know if you found any good ways to hide cuts but if you did i would like to know because when i first cut myself i was only 12 and didnt cut very deep but 2 days ago i did and i dont think they are going to heal very fast if you did and wouldnt mind sending me something back that would be amazing :) hopefully you can get help with your self harm like im trying to

Here we go...
4 months () (Permalink)Well there are many ways to cover up a cut/scar. I self harm (Trying to stop) so I have cuts/scars. One way is with bracelets. If you cut your wrists I suggest wearing bracelets, or wrist cuffs. If it's not a scar and it's fresh wear a band aid and clean the cut, wear the bracelts/wrist cuff over it. Even if you cut don't cut your wrists because that's the first place someone would look and if it's short sleeved shirt season pretty obvious. I'm not promotting cutting or saying that cut some where else. I don't suggest cutting for ANYTHING. Not even a last resort. If you're really worried that your scars will last a long time make not so deep little cuts. Alot of not so deep short lasting cuts are better then a couple large deep long lasting cuts right?You can use make up to cover up scars like some peopl use make up to cover up acne or blemishes. If you cut on high up places like the upper thigh, upper arm it should be easy to hide by wearing shorts or t-shirts. If your at the beach don't take your cloths off unless you're about to go swimming. When you do take your cloths off run into the water until your scars/cuts are covered by the water. When you go back to shore cover yourself in a towel for the scars/cuts are covered. During the summer I really suggest cutting back on cutting. Maybe even it will give you some practice to stop cutting.Or as a last resort if someone sees your cut just make up an excuse. Not the best way but it's either that or tell that person everything. I really do suggest to stop cutting. It may be hard but it will be worth it. There are a couple ways to stop cutting that you can google. I hope this helped.

I've been self harming since I was 12. I am now 14 and I still do it because i'm still being bullied and I can't stand myself. I use blades from any cheap razor, or if I can't find one I use a big and sharp knife. I used to cut on my wrists but I stopped becuase it was too hard to hide during the summer and from parents around my house. I now cut on my waist. I find that cutting myself helps make me feel calm and it helps me sleep. I have onset insomnia so I usually only get 3 hours sleep if i'm lucky, but when I cut I get around 5 hours sleep, hence the reason I do it so often. I have only recently started seeing a psychologist and I guess it's helping a little... I can't stand being inside my own head, it's driving me insane. I sometimes have random panic attacks (usually at night when I can't sleep). I can't try on clothes in changerooms at a shop because I always break down crying whenever I have to see my body so closely in the mirror. Since my scares are mainly around my waist, I don't have to worry about anyone seeing them as long as my pants don't get pulled down :S I don't know if i'll ever be able to stop cutting and hurting myself. Any tips on what to do when I get the urge to cut?

Possible solution
1 month () (Permalink)I personally have only cut three times because my sister found out and is helping me through it, but I still have a really hard time resisting the urge to cut. I have found that putting on my head phones and listening to music really helps me though, and I listen to music to go to sleep which might help you as well. I still only get about two or so hours of sleep, but it's better than having another scar to remind me just how much I want to cut myself. I also do a lot of stuff like hand knitting and making survival bracelets because it is a repetitive thing that is pretty easy and keeps me occupied.

I've self-harmed since I was
5 months () (Permalink)I've self-harmed since I was 10 and I'm a senior in high school now. I usually do it on my upper thigh or like on my hips but that wouldn't work with people who have a boyfriend or girlfriend who you don't want to find out. My girlfriend knows, and it makes her really sad so I've been trying really hard to stop lately. If you're worried about someone finding a bloody knife then just have your own and hide them. It usually doesn't stain the metal if you wash it right after and you don't let it dry before you wash it. But of course cutting should be your last resort. Usually when I want to cut I go to sleep and I usually feel a lot better when I wake up. When you can't sleep talk to someone close until you can't stay awake.

6 months () (Permalink)Vitamin e fades scars if u rub it on them. Lemon juice turns them white over time. Then theres always makeup or bracelets and ribbons.

Uhm hey. I cut last year on my wrist but only shallow cuts and easy to hide in the recesses of my skin so my friend at the time wouldnt notice. I stopped cutting until recently and now its different. Now i cut an inch under my left breast where i can say it was just the wire of my bra or something when my parents ask me. But i dont know how to hide my cutting from my boyfriend who tends to slip his hands up my shirt when we makeout. What do i do if he notices and asks the inevitable? He already knows i have so many other issues with not only physical but mental health.

Don't let him do so ig? But
4 months () (Permalink)Don't let him do so ig? But if he does and he does notice be honest with him.. Don't lie, if he's with you still after knowing everything else then this won't effect the relationship.. He might even try to help you stop and if he does let him help, its showing he cares!

Help! Please read
6 months () (Permalink)I have been cutting for about 12 months, I am only 15 and most people see it as attention seeking.
I usually take the razor blade out of a new sharpener it cuts really well! So I have a friend and I recently discover she has self harmed I told a few people and she got mad not knowing it was in her best interest! It seemed that I wanted her to be helped and everyone "put me back in the shadows" after she got mad. I went home and once again cut this time much deeper and for the first time I wanted to bleed out. I only wish I hadn't now because now I have scars now I feel wrong so my question is how is the best way I can stop
Comment Links:
Just throw it away and everytime you wanna cut go run around or take a nap just do something in substitute of cutting find a hobby I draw when I want to cut I draw out my feelings! If your not a great artist this will also help you get better! Good luck!

6 months () (Permalink)i dunno wear a spandex swim suite , i dont like to hide my scars i take pride in them lol

I use cover up that is my skin color. Water proof if you go swimming but becareful not to hole your hands in the water too long because even water proof isn't completely reliable. I have a cat, (I hate cats but begged my mom for one whenever I started cutting) and so if people see just say "I have a cat" and it wasn't a lie. But before that, in the summer, I would cut behind my neck (my hair would cover it) or under my armpits. It is possible to hide them in the summer, but is very difficult.
