Re: can cutting become addictive? - November 9th 2010, 11:21 PM

Hey there,

I went ahead and moved this to the self harm forum because I thought it was better suited for that category.

As the others have said self harm can become addictive but you can overcome that. Like any addiction you have to realize you have a problem and slowly work on getting to a better place. I think it is very important that you figure out what your triggers are. If you know what triggers you you can slowly work on coping with those triggers and finding better alternatives.

I am also going to suggest that you look into the list of alternatives. They can really help you fight the urges and they give you positive coping skills.

Here is the link:

I really hope this helped and best of luck.
