Answer

Hi hun, I am not a counsellor, but I understand about the cutting thing. I havent been a self harmer but have been friends with a girl who was.brIs it the pain you get a release from or actually seeing your blood that gives you the release?brbrThanks for getting back to me on that. If it was the pain like my friend, I would have suggested gripping ice cubes until your hands hurt. That would give you the release of pain but with less permanent effects of scarring.brbrThere must be some kind of substitue you can do instead that gives you the same release but without permanently scarring or injuring yourself. brbrHave a look on the website below. I would definitely advise seeing someone about it. Your family wont get dragged into it because it will be confidential. I know it is hard to stop because it gets addictive, but you have already realised you have a problem and that is half the battle hun. Just take the last few steps so you can put it all behind you.brbrwww.selfharm.org.ukbrbrGood luck! X
