Cutting Community Group
for those people who use self harm to hide their emotions and to scar their bodies with memories of their past pain.
I started cutting last summer but stopped for a while because I got caught. Then I just started cutting my thighs. I don't know how to stop. When I'm alone I just want to go to the bathroom, get a razor and just end it all. I tried to ask for help but I'm practically non-existent to my family and I don't have any close teachers. I can't go to my friends because I'm like the backup, if one of them is not there they'll notice me. I tried to hang out with other people but it's all the same. I don't think they would notice if I was gone or care.

You need to understand if it's for suicide or just to feel pain. If it's just for pain then it's a great alternative to suicide. Just be careful and have a safety plan with you. You can google selfharm safety plans and it will teach you good info and safe alternatives.

I cut and burn because I like to control and I love the pain

I'm looking for a support group for our 13 year old who self-injures as well as our family to help us cope and find healthy alternatives, It breaks my heart but I want her to open up. We have her meet with a pediatric psychiatrist and she takes antidepressants and she meets with a counsellor at school. She has been diagnosed with severe and pervasive depression and anxiety. I have found and taken away knifes and razor blades she has in her room. She knows when I find them although I don't say anything about it. I reinforce that I love her and asks her at times if she wants to talk or try to have one on one time. She does not reach out to other girls that want to be friends and a few of her (girl) friends don't spend a lot of time with her because of the cutting. She is good in sports but its a struggle to get her involved in activities because of her anxiety. She said she is afraid of being judged. She wants me there and she doesn't. Dammed if I do, dammed if I don't. She has a handful of boy friends that she games with. I would really appreciate so insight to what going on, how I can help and get her to talk to others in a safe environment so she knows she's not alone. Please help.
