stanley knife? I certainly would not reccomend that! you could go deeper than you want but anyway

If a counselor who is professionally trained in that area can't help, I doubt there's much that we can say which will be better than her, oither than try reading things on the internet from other self harmers and check out what helped them through it and how they stopped. Good luck

Usually counselors are fail but they are supposed to be trained in this sort of thing. Anyway, consider this, has harming yourself really made anything better in your life? Has hurting yourself made the next day better, made you look forward to what is to come?

stanley knives leave thin cuts so u dont lose loads of bloods and the scars dont look as bad. all she does rly is talk to me about my week and what things are goin through my mind. ye i need to completely stop so im hoping someone on here has a good idea. the only think i hav managed to do is stop it happening daily, its more of a once or twice a week thing

I really can't give you advice since I highly doubt you have a friend who's gone through what my friend has, but here's what worked for me...

I told one of my friends (the only one I actually trust to tell) and she wasn't freaked out, 'cause she spends every single day of her life helping people with their problems. She wanted me to stop, and I said I'd try. Anyway, I told her I cut again several weeks later... And she freaked. She said it reminded her of her friend who committed suicide. Haven't cut since then, and refuse too. She's a close friend, and when I saw how much it hurt her, I stopped.

Get a friend to duct tape your hands, so you can't use the knife. It sounds hamrful, but it's much less harmful than craving for blood pouring out of your body.
