Get professional: 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 be indicated. Talking therapy is absolutely necessary. Dialectic behavioral therapy (dbt) is the gold standard.
