there is no alternative to cutting. the pain caused and the darkness inflicted addiction cannot be reproduced. find another addiction (only other way would be to hurt youself in some other manner.. which i aint very comfortable reccomending lol) try the rubberband trick.

smokin old puff does the trick for me.

I tried strangling myself. It feels wierd and im never doing it again.

Don't replace it. Every time you want to cut, go somewhere where there is little or no stuff for you to cut with. Call/email/text etc... one of your friends, or your boyfriend, and dump on them.

You don't need to get stuck with something else.

Yeah, you want to replace cutting with strangling? That's kind of a step forward and another step backward, don't you think?

If talking to friends isn't enough, take some sort of sports. Why exactly can't you get out of your house? Physical activities and fresh air always help.

I read somewhere that wearing an eslatic band on your wrist can really help. Everytime you feel the urge to cut, just pull the band back and snap it agasint your wrist until it goes away. If the pain isn't enough, snap it harder, or get a tighter band. I know it's worked for a few people, I hope it works for you

Umm try cutting way deeper....better luck next time

Or umm one thing that hurts like shit is pinching urself a diff way

Put ur thumb between ur index and ur "fuck u" finger and then pinch urself using the space between ur "fuck u" finger and thumb and it hurts like a mutha.

Umm there is always the sacred art of seppoku

If you have ice-cream in the house, stick your fingers in it...apparently it causes enough pain/soreness it takes your mind off it. Elastic band is a good one too...

((hugs))

LUK DONT LISTEN TO CJ GETTIN ADDICTED IS BAD...i normaLLY DRAW marks in my arm looks lyk blood

Elastic band sounds like the best thing for it honey, don't start again - your boyfriend stopped you for a reason. That reason being that seeing you hurting yourself only causes him pain. You wouldn't wanna lose someone that cares about you. That's what you need right now.
Keep strong.

It's a bit of a bizarre suggestion, but it worked for me... can you draw? Because I used to draw a picture of myself when I wanted to hurt myself, and draw on all the horrible things I wanted to do to myself. There was no pain, but I found that it worked x

You think this is a game? Cutting deeper will just do more damage, and it's seppuku, not seppoku. That is suicide, and she is looking for a soulution, but u obviously are to nieve to see that.

or too sick ..

Masturbation... chocolate... beating up a wall...
