whenever you have the urge to cut, do something else
read a new book
watch a movie
knit or crochet
exercise (the endorphins are excellent)

I snap a rubber band on my wrist when I get the urge to cut. Some people squeeze ice cubes. Those things work as a subsitute if it's the pain you want.

Some people like the way it looks more than the pain (I do, sometimes) if that's the case, use red food coloring. It looks like blood. I dip the dull side of my razor in it and then drag it on my arm, so it leaves a "blood mark" but it's not as dangerous.

Good luck honey, stay strong. <3

i usually think about the scars it will leave, even though i dont mind them, i hate HATE making excuses up and trying to cover them. Try thinking of the consequences before, sometimes that gives me strength to stop.
I hope you can stop :)

Hey,
I never knew there was forums like this to talk to other people.
I'd stopped cutting for a good 5 months, but recently fell back into it, I regret it SO SO SO much. Please, don't be like me and do it again. It's a temporary thing and will not make you feel better in the long run.
