How do you stop the need to cut....

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

I have been cutting for five years, it so engrained in me that I claw my hands in my sleep. Years of Self Mutilation killed me and is tearing my family apart as we speak....

I think it's important to address the issues leading to self-injury, whether they are related to a mental illness, past issues with abuse or bullying or whatever else, current stress, etc. Is there any way you can address it in some form of treatment?

You also have to know that the desire to cut doesn't go away with just treatment, your response to the desire is what can be worked on. It can become an automatic response but there is even therapy -- cognitive behavioral -- that you can try if talk therapy hasn't led to much change or if you only want to address the thoughts/behaviors rather than what has led to the formation of them.
