Are you talking to your doctor about this....it's not so bad you know if ur honest and talk to your GP. He can help. Honest.

well what I had to do was basically train myself to stop thinking of it. Whenever it came in my head, I would try my best to think of other things or keep my hands busy. If you have a hobby, these are the best times for them, something to immerse yourself into for hours.
I would spend hours cutting pictures out of magazines and decorating journals or scrapbooking. It helped.
Also immersing yourself in a crowd. Hang out with friends and stuff.
Exercise is good too because it gets your endorphins flowing and those make you feel good.

you can't stop the thoughts, they are there for a reason and its usually something that is deeper down in you that needs to be dealt with. I highly recommend that you see your doctor about this. I have had the same thing and im in therapy twice a week and a psychiatrist a least once a month. they can help, whether through medication or therapy to get to the bottom of what its really about. all strength and courage to you, the biggest step is getting help

thanks for the replys. my doctor just laughs at me, the last time i went to see him about a infection i had i went with my mum and the doctor said to my mum 'does he go out' my mum said 'only with someone because he gets nervous' and he laughed and said you should be a man. so im gonna switch to another docs. as for hobbies i like art, and that does help but its just when im alone nearly alday and they start coming in my mind. iv had help in the past but it didnt work out.

you hang in there. it would be a very good idea to find another doctor. there are people out there that can help you. ive found some. we are all here for you too. all strength and courage to you

iv been painting almost alday and iv only thought once, that was when i got up. for some reason i only get very depressed in the morning and evening.

I always got depressed the worst at night. I know how that is. And if you could find another doctor that would be great. There are great ones out there and i hope you find the right one. Do you know why you started cutting? Its always good to pinpoint the reason...

i started cutting because i was getting bullied alot, even my old friends who were very bad people bullied me.
