Are there any ways to stop cutting yourself on your own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My guess is that if: You could / or had other good coping skills that you would have already stopped. No, i believe that you need to accept help. Start w comprehensive psychological evaluation (clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist). You may need medications to address any emotional disorder that you might have. If your cutting is associated w substance abuse – detoxification, 12 step program or rehabilitation may.
