That link is really helpful thanks for posting it in here mike.
Helpgirl, It would be alot easier for me to help you if you could tell me why your depressed. That way we can try and work through the problems and try and make them better. You should try and make a list of what triggers your cutting. Then you will know when you might have a urge so then you can do whatever takes that urge away before it even starts. You can also try and avoid what triggers you. Please post back.

It's ok, you are not alone; there are others out there who self injure. Self injury is a very complex behavior that no one fully understands or knows how to treat. Yet people do STOP harming themselves or decreases self injury. It’s not easy to tell someone that you self injure. You might think it’s embarrassing, or dumb, but who knows. Talking about it will really help you decrease your urge to self injure or even stop.
Life is hard to live sometimes. There are so many stressors in our lives that brings us to the edge, the urge to cut, burn, punch walls, pull hair out, etc. You really have to look on the brighter side of things and ask yourself these questions; Why am I doing this? Do I deserve this? Do I enjoy this? Do I hate it? Would I rather feel physical pain than inner pain? Do I do it for attention, or to please others? Who knows, there are so many questions out there to ask yourself, but take a look at the ones listed above. Think about them for awhile, and then answer them. However, every time you have the urge to self injure, go back to the questions and read them a few times and look at your answers. Is this what you want to do for the rest of your life, or do you want to decrease it or even STOP. Have I bored ya yet? I am glad that you are till reading this.
So by trying to decrease your self injury, try and find new ways to cope with your feelings. Learn new ways to calm, soothe, and comfort yourself. You might even try meditation, exercise, relaxation, visual imagery, listen to relaxing music, loud music, deep breathing, writing poetry, journaling, warm baths, etc. These are just a few examples of ways that people can soothe themselves. IF IT DOESN’T WORK THE FIRST TIME, KEEP ON TRYING. Also, you can try doing things to take care of yourself and make yourself feel pampered and loved. Buy a beautiful journal and write in it. Whatever it is that makes you feel loved, DO IT. Realize what strengths it takes to live through what you’ve lived through. Next time you think of hurting yourself tell yourself that you deserve to be protected. You might even try practicing communicating your feelings instead of engaging in self injury. Just find someone safe to communicate your feelings to and try letting someone be there for you.
Like any other addiction, decreasing or even stopping self injury is no easy task. You have to know yourself; get to know your self inflicted habits. Once you know those habits, you can work on changing them. Some people have a certain time of day in which they self injure. If you know that, you can plan activities to keep yourself busy during those bad hours. It’s hard to give up the objects in which you hurt yourself with, If possible, throw them away or give them somebody. After you can do that, put something in place of it. Be social, plan activities through out the day and DO THEM. If you keep yourself busy with activities, you will have less time/desire to engage in self injurious behaviors. Try to stop beating up on yourself verbally and mentally, it doesn’t help yourself or anyone. The most important thins is to think more positively (easier said than done). Remember to keep on trying, DON’T GIVE UP. Self injury can be extremely stressful and frustrating for everyone involved. Get support for yourself NOW before it gets worse. You can decrease self injury, but better yet, you can STOP.

Did you know that cutting releases a hormone, which makes you not care, I have felt that feeling, I used to cut, but I realized I was being weak by cutting, and you know what also realeases the same feeling? Crying, let yourself cry, a nice long cry always makes you feel better. Toss that razor out.

i live in washingrtion anyway iam getting help for my depression i have a question what do u do if u have a stalker Glad your getting help with your depression!! I would create a new thread for the stalker question. That way when others may be looking for something about being stalked they would be able to find it as to when people look for cutting they can find this thread If you make a new thread you can answer these questions there: 1). Do you feel like your in harms way? 2). Do you know who is stalking you? 3). Why do you think your being stalked?

generally you talk to someone... it depends what method of stalking it is as sparkle said. but if its a real life in the street type of thing talk to someone close. Family, teacher, trusted adult and if it gets really bad talk to the local police.
hope they go away -hug-
