I don't know how to help unless you just use a lot of will power and try some alternatives maybe. I can suggest some if you'd like.

If you want to talk, PM me. I self-harm too.

Put pictures of kittens next to all your cutting implements?

What I did to stop is think about what people are going to say about the scars, think about what if you end up killing yourself this time, what would people do? I mean, that ussually makes me not do it. Do you have one friend you can always call when you want to? sometimes that helps too.
Good luck, and it does get easier to stop.

just try and think of happy things to avoid the temptations
anytime you feel like your going to cut think of things as a distraction maybe take up a hobby that will pass time.... like reading... watching movies..... or also what i tried was the elastic band method and the red marker
i used to draw cuts on my arms in red...

I agree with the above comments. When you go to self harm - think about what your friends and family will say. Think about what your boss will say or your work collegues (or school friends/teachers if you're still at school). Think about what your children will say (whether you have them now or want them in the future) - Mummy, what are those marks on your arms?
The way i learnt how to stop was to have an elastic band around my wrist 24/7. When ever i felt the urge to self harm i pinged it against my wrist. This gave the same sensation as self harming without the blood and without the scars! Brilliant. Eventually i didn't need it anymore. I have been self harm free for a few months now.
Good luck - i know it isn't easy

You will eventually get sick and tired of hiding your scars/ explaining them to rude people who ask about them.

I am an ex cutter of 7 years, I feel like cutting again sometimes, but the only thing that is stopping me is I am now working in the professional world.

You need to replace cutting with something positive, or less damaging ..if possible.

One day you WILL stop, it is just a matter of when&& how.

ive had to stop because my parents found out. their reaction was to yell at me and tell me how they hate who i am

Even though it would have been better if was your own decision to stop instead of your parents, at least you're not cutting anymore

Now you just need to convince yourself that that's the right choice as well.
