Yes there are : Residential treatment program for people who have eating disorders & who engage in cutting or other forms of self harm. Be honest with your parents. Explain to them what your symptoms are. What is your mood like? Any problems with sleep? With appetite? With energy level? With substance abuse? Any thoughts of suicide? Tell them about your eating behaviors & your self harm. Be candid.

Cutting: Meds and therapy together are your best bet. Get a psychiatric evaluation for what ails you, and what cutting means to you as well as anything else that may be going on. Then get a referral to a reputable psychotherapist to help with the emotional issues behind cutting. DO THIS RIGHT NOW. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GO TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM OR DIAL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
