Not A Fact, But Some Tips: For Cutters

Here are some subs in place of cutting; - Leave or rub ice on your skin. It will numb your skin for a while, then creates a kind of icey burn leaving your skin pink. - Get a red inked pen or red marker and leave marks on where you usually cut. - Rubber bands or hair bows are really good to leave on your arms or legs so when you feel the urge, you snap it on your skin. - Get some glue, rub it on your skin and when it looks like skin peeling you take a red marker and rub across it leaving a "scab" on your skin. If you have peeled your scabs before, peel this one and it'll be like peeling a real one. If you don't want to use a marker or pen you can also use paint. It'll still create a fake "scab". - You can always take a hot or a really cold shower, leaving your skin red. - Take up exercise, running or even punching a punching bag. - Or if you want to be creative, write it out whether it's poetry, songs, or just journaling. - You can always take paper and write out why you do it or who causes the action. Burn the paper when you are done or rip it up. - Or listen to music that expresses how you feel. - You can also go on Google to find self-help websites or depression chat rooms or find support groups in your area.
