That's what I did and that's the only thing that helped me. I tried to replace it with various things and never found something that would work, but my friends were able to help me control my urges and eventually stop altogether.       i've never really been able to talk to anyone about it...people just think i'm crazy   That's what I though for the longest time. It took me forever to tell most of my friends. I don't really know what they thought about it in particular, but they helped me a ton as far as recovering went and stood by me though many difficult days. I'm sure your friends will help you if you told them. I know it's difficult, but it's not impossible.    i guess considering that i go to a mental health school, people can't really be that judgemental there...most of the kids are there for cutting....still nervous about mentioning it to any of my friends though...../: That's understandable. It's not an easy thing to tell someone, especially a friend. yea, and it sucks. jham915 Posted at 3:58 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from Miss Kaytee at 6:55 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from jham915 at 3:54 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from Miss Kaytee at 6:42 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from jham915 at 3:41 pm on July 3, 2009 Have you tried talking to a friend about it?
