I understand how the addiction is. I used to be addicted to many things...I think we all have, even though it might not be as something as serious as cutting. First, it's best to think about why you started doing it in the first place, and try to rid of whatever is making you do it. if you can't go from there, a great solution is wearing rubber bands around your wrists, and instead when you feel the need to cut yourself, just snap the rubberbands on your wrist. It'll leave a sting of pain, that you get when you cut yourself, without the blood, scars, and the potentional danger as a razor. Hope I helped. ^^ And if you ever need to talk, a lot of people on here would be glad to listen. |
A) Wow. Good luck with that one.
B) Yeah, I think you should stop. On general principles, being addicted to mutilation of any kind is a bad idea. How? Ummmm.... find another hobby? It's really just substituting one addiction for another, but being addicted to, say... playing an instrument? Worst case scenario, you lose sight of other things, but you still are good at playing a musical instrument. It's beneficial. Unless you completely drop out of lyfe and devote yourself entirely to music but don't have the talent to make a career of it. It would help if your new hobby specifically required that you don't cut yourself, but short of being in the I Don't Cut Myself, Now Or Ever And I Can Prove It With My Lack Of Scars club, I can't think of anything. But yeah, whenever you want to cut yourself, I would suggest you do something else. You could write a story, you could play a (video)game, you could call your friends, you could exercise, solve logic puzzles, chew gum, take up a sport, anything you would enjoy enough to keep at it. Within a month you'll probably find that you have severely reduced interest in self mutilation and you're absolutely addicted to whatever your new thing is. And depending on the new thing, that may be just as bad, but hey! You're not cutting yourself anymore! |
