Addiction.?
Question by Sidnii;; act on your impulse: Addiction.?
I have been addicted to drugs, but somehow I’ve gotten hooked on self-mutilation (cutting). I know that sounds stupid, but once you start you cant stop. I know ‘rehab’ is in order, but I don’t feel the need to go to a nuthouse that reaks of old people. I just need a substitute for cutting, so I can lessen the process, and go to not cutting.
I’ve been cutting for atleast a year now, and it had gotten to the point where I had passed out from blood loss. Now, how will this also affect my sports career at school?

Please don’t just switch-I have over and over again-there is so much of yourself you are not because you switch-trust me-get into some rehab-or at least a 12 step program

I saw something on TV that people that cut would put rubber bands on their wrist. Whenever they felt like cutting they would snap the rubber band on their wrist. If you don’t want to go to rehab you should at least go to a therapist. And I don’t think you are stupid. I myself have a highly addictive personality. I used to be addicted to pain killers. Whenever I enjoy a certain feeling a get addicted really fast. Good luck!
