You may not feel anyone cares but SOMEONE does. I understand the feeling. I kept it a secret for years until someone saw and I had to tell them. To help you stop, try a rubber band around your wrist. When you feel like cutting, snap it against your skin. Hold ice cubes. Use red marker to draw where you want to cut and then wash it off - sometimes the illusion of it being blood can help.

You want to tell someone though.. It's hard to quit without a support system there. Trust me.

it's really tough. it took me years to stop. but even now, it's still hard to fight the urge. i'm bipolar and when i get depressed it gets bad some days. i had tried the rubber band method but it didn't really work cause i ended up breaking the band >.> i was in an out of therapy, on various medications. nothing was working. then one day, something just clicked in my head, i decided i didnt want it to control me anymore. I didnt want my illness to rule my life. i know i'm going to feel depressed and im going to hurt, but im not going to give into the pain i feel and hurt myself. to get to that point though, it took a lot. before i didn't care much for myself. so it didnt matter if i hurt myself. my bf was the person who helped me find some self worth. if it weren't for him, i may have taken my life, that'd how bad it had gotten. the important part, though, is to not let the depression get a hold of you. if you truly want to stop, tell yourself that. you have to be firm. you may slip up, but make a stand against it. tell it you're done with it controlling you. its ok to feel hurt, and that pain you feel is normal. you're not bad and you are loved. you have the power to stop hurting yourself. turn that pain into art, a sport, music, something beautiful. I write when i hurt, and i've started martial arts. this has been incredibly helpful for me. like i've said before, i'm still fighting. just yesterday, it almost got the better of me.

i don't know how much that helps, but i wish you well. you CAN stop. find a good friend, bf/gf. for me it was hard to admit to, and i didnt come forward, someone found out. but trust me, you'll feel better if that person is someone you can trust.

Get a nice big bag of marijuana sativa. I'd recommend "Jillybean," its top effect is Euphoria/Happiness/Uplifted, and will have you feeling instantly happy after one hit.

What kind of question is this? It does not make any sense. Either answer is going to be incorrect. Do you enjoy injuring yourself (yes or no). Do you think others should injure themselves that could be a (no or yes). If you don't want people hurting themselves it would be because you care. If you are judging them for cutting you would say no I do not think they should and do not like any who do. That is judgmental though. So you really should rephrase this since it makes absolutely no sense. It is open to too much interpretation.
