How do you stop cutting?

Reward yourself with something every time you get the urge to cut. Idk what else to say really I stopped after my gf died.

If you want help, you can message me, I'm "Darling Alice" on here.Cutting is just a coping mechanism, it stops our pain temporarily. What you need to do is find a better one, such as...painting a picture, singing a song, watching your favorite movie, etc etc.And remember, you can only stop cutting, (along with every other thing you wish to stop doing) if you really want to. If not, you're not able of being helped.Message me if you wish!! xoxo

What opened my eyes for me was that my sister would lie for me about where these 'scratches' came from. It was a temporary solution maybe but it never really helped to do it, and at the end of the process I'm lucky enough to only have a few scars but I know some other people aren't so lucky. Cutting was something I did in high school because I didn't really have anyone to turn to but I realized that so many people do care and are willing to help you and cutting does nothing but harm and tarnish your body.

My mom used to put a rubber band around her wrist and snap it every time she felt the urge to cut. Another good way is to use a non-toxic marker or a ballpoint pen rather than a knife.
