Triggering (SH): I need to quit cutting, please help...

[BleedingLullaby]

I stopped cutting for a while, then I started again. This time I haven't been doing my arms or wrists so much because it's easier to get caught. I've mostly been cutting my thighs, and now I think I'm addicted to it. I don't know, and this is going to sound weird, but I enjoy the pain when I do it. I keep finding reasons to do it, because I like it, just like a drug addiction. I really want to stop because it's hurting my friends and they've been doing all they can to help. I just keep lying to them and hiding it from them. When they find out, they're so hurt, not only by the fact that I'm doing it, but also because I lied. Then they start to cut again, which makes me feel guilty. Once I feel guilty I just cut again. It's like a really sad cycle that I can't stop. If you know any ways to quit cutting, please tell me. I don't want "snap a rubber band on your wrist instead" because it doesn't work for me.
Thanks so much, in advance. x

Have you told an adult about this? I mean therapists are...therapists, but they have to help somewhat, otherwise no one would go to them. I could give you a rambling of distractions but I think you can find those on the alternatives post.... The only thing I can think of to help you is to seek help from an adult. Whoever you tell, make sure they won't go pyscho on you. Good luck. You can break this cycle.
God bless.

@Collies_R_Us Thanks...I don't think I could tell an adult. They would think I'm doing it for attention, even though I'm trying so hard to keep it a secret. But thanks for answering...therapists...are therapists. (like you said)
