so i have a issue, a couple. i have suffered from mental illness sience i was a young girl, at the age of 18 i started to cut two days later i put my self in the hospital and was there for a year and three months. i am now 25 and sience i was 18 my cutting has gotten extream. my arms are covered in scars and last october till feburary i was on a every day cutting habit till i put my self back in the hospital. i was there for a month and almost got sent to a state hospital which is long term. i got out two months ago and am wondering what to do because my psychitrist said if i start cutting again then i will be sent to state. the thing is to stop cuting its not easy. i dont think i can just stop like that. and having to hid it if i do will make it worse because i cant talk about it. can any one help me figure this out please.
