Yeah, I'll start with you. My goal is to absolutely try not to pick anything so maybe I can cut my picking in half again. ;D

Yes, yes, and yes. This is good, I need a resurgance of energy. This is hard work, a very long journey for some, but we can all do this. I feel so tired at this very moment, but I believe nothing else so strongly.
Thank you everyone for your support.

Hi Me2,
Zero Tolerance, and yes I believe it does help. Some say it is the only way to go about quitting. It is extremely difficult, though doable. I'm trying to find out for myself if this works, with great struggle, but unceasing support.
Take care, hope that helps.

I found out my problem. I figured out why I cant get myself to stop this time. Its because Im not cutting...it sounds strange but when Im cutting I dont think about picking...when Im picking...I dont think about cutting. So what Im figuring is that since the cuts are more shallow than the picks...i'll make my cuts very small. That way I can kinda fulfill that need to feel something without causing major scaring. Then I'll throw away the blade once I've stopped picking. Ill try it for a week and if its not working ill just have my fingernails removed and ill take my blade and toss it in a sewer or something.

I don't think the cutting is a good idea incubabe!
Find something other than cutting to replace the picking.
I don't know what to tell you to replace it with, but don't cut yourself.
you seem so into music- will blaring something that really gets to your emotions do it?
just a suggestion, but maybe it will help.

Thing is tough, Ive been cutting since the 8th grade. And I can stop easily. I can give it up tomorrow if I wanted to but I need something to distract me from picking. I cant take it anymore. I refuse to be 17 or 18 and still doing this to myself. Scars from cutting are a lot easier to explain than scars from picking. And my cuts rarely scar.
