Hello DS. I am glad they have this group because it helps me realize i am not alone in this. I think i am obsessed with cutting. I cannot go to sleep with ought cutting, i will literally wake up in the middle of the night to cut and then go back to sleep. If i have an exam i feel better after I cut. I don't know what to do. I can't keep hiding all these cuts, i use to do it on my arms but now i do it all over my body i know i am hurting myself but i cant stop. Please help. Please.

I agreeon DS being great and helping you realize you're not alone. My cutting is getting worse too. Well, it has always been getting worse. I think about it all the time too. And I dont think any one on here that can really help you. So my best advice is to go and see a counsellor or your doctor or something. Get help in the real world.

Im sorry, i know how that is. i wanna cut alll the time. you just have to MAKE yourself not cut. i kno0w that sounds impossible, but you just have to find some kind of distraction, anything. I rubbed ice on my wrist until it literally hurt and that helped me not cut. im here if you need to talk.

Twilightstar: Nice to know someone understands but i wish you weren't because it's just horrible.
CupOfTea: I hope that it gets better i really do. Thank you for your advice, the only problem is that i have been hiding this for two years now it is hard to talk to my family about it. Rachel: Thank you im here if you need someone to talk too also. The ice thing is a good idea.

I know exactly how you feel. I've done it so long that my brain connects everything to cutting. Anxious? I want to cut. Angry? I want to cut. Its so bad that I don't even need a reason anymore. I can have the best day ever and still think about making myself bleed all day.
The hardest thing is to not do it because its so easy and you know youll feel good when you do it. But then I know if I do it then Ill want it ten times more than I already do. Its a neverending circle. *hugs* I'm with you too hun...
