If you've only cut yourself a few times and have it under control, should you really ask for help?

All the sites say to tell someone how you've been feeling, blah blah blah. It only happened when i was really stressed and I don't have the urge to anymore. Help?If you've only cut yourself a few times and have it under control, should you really ask for help?
To be blunt and honest you should still tell a trust adult or your parents. Your using cutting as a way to cope with stress and you may have it under control now but the more you rely on cutting the easier it is for it to get out of control. Most cutting starts off as a small scratch but the longer it goes on the deeper and longer the cuts become. When we get down to it cutting is an addiction which isn't healthy and can cause serious problems (scars, infections, and possibly death if your not careful).





I hope I was able to help some!

People/parents do mean things or lie to manipulate. They just want the reaction so they can get high feel good from it. The words are not true. You can talk to me or google ';emotional abuse'; and see all the definitions and see its all true. Knowing the truth is the step to freedom from pain. They are the ones who have problems not you.





When you have a bad past it lets other things start. Cutting, OCD, Anxiety, panic attacks, hearing voices can all come from a tramautic past. Its opens doors to the negative and they start to dwell closeby. Hurting people also hurt themselves.





Realizing you were really abused/traumatized is the 1st step in all this. Then later praying and realizing whos stronger will stop the negative forces who are at work.





Dont be tricked by an abusers words. They use all types of tactics even truth mixed with lies. Dont fall for it.
although i am in no shape to give other people advice


(i havent harmed my self in any way but am in a seriousbout of emptiness and depression) i will say this, if something like that has occured even only once and in your case a couple of times go and talk to somebody if you cant talk to your parents go and talk to a trained and compassionate profffesional, if it happens when youre stressed out you can get help for this and i hope you do, i dont mean to sound insesitive because i truly want you to feel better.





i hope this has helped in anyway
Well, you don't need help for the cutting. But if you feel broken, well, sure, you should seek help. You don't need to have horrible events in your childhood like being beaten or molested to feel this way, there are psychological environments that have been shown to be just as hurtful as physical abuse. And adolescent girls often go through all sorts of moodiness as their hormones swing in, your feelings don't necessarily have to do with anything. A therapist can help you work with all out and feel better.
