Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

ok,so i've tried to quit cutting myself,and i always fail,i end up doing it anyway,people tel me it should be easy to quit cutting myself,but it's not,is that normal,it being so hard to quit.i get mad at myself if i don't cut deep enough or if it the cut isn't long enough,when people see my scars they treat me like i'm mental,i've tried to stop myself from cutting,i can do ok for a while,but then i'll feel like i have to cut my arms and legs,i've thrown away all my sharp objects i've hidden,but i still find ways to cut myself,i've tried coping smetheds,but they never work. i guess what i'm kinda asking is,is it normal if it's hard to stop cutting,becuase it's like i'm the weirdest thing in the world becuase it's so hard t stop myself when i'm upset or i want to feel something,so is it normal for it to be hard? ,so do you guys think it's normal?

It is the hardest thing I

It is the hardest thing I have ever tried. Something I suggest you try is putting a semi-loose rubber band on your wrist and if you feel the urge to cut, snap it. It provides the pain but is not nearly as damaging to yourself but I suggest you don't do that for a long time because I got obsessed with it, and everytime I got nervous I'd snap it... But that is a different story. Either that or call a friend and ask them to calm you down (make you not want to cut). That works but if you continue, I'd get a therapist. I have one. She's old. She has pink hair. She loves me:).

Don't know why. But it's really hard. I know how you feel. It's like an addiction, like smoking or alcoholism, you try & try but still fail miserably. I've tried like 5 times & failed every single time. Longest can go is like few months. But you're not alone in feeling it's so difficult.

.All the little pieces falling shatter. Shards of me too sharp to put back together. Too small to matter but big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

Yeah I totally understand, quitting has been the hardest thing I have ever tried, it was easier for me to stop doing meth than it has been for cutting myself. I stopped for a few months but then started back up, you just have to take it one day at a time and be patient and dont feel bad if you do it again it's gonna happen.

Don't feel wierd

I think quitting is the HARDEST thing I've ever tried to do in my entire life.  Don't feel wierd for finding it difficult, I have not met a single person who has found it easy.  It can also be frustrating... sorry to be negative, but be prepared for 'slip-ups'.  It is part of the process.  It also might take a few tries before you really start to feel like you have accomplished anything in your recovery.  Please know that what you are feeling is NOT wierd in any way, it is hard.  I also hope thatyou don't give up, keep trying.  Good Luck!!!
