One of my friends wanted to stop but didn't see someone about it for a few months, and by the time she did go, it had gotten much worse and much more compulsive. It's important to go see someone about it as soon as you can. Tell a close friend, and have someone go with you and meet you after your appointment for moral support.
I don't self harm, but I went to see a counsellor about depression, and it took a friend offering to take me there and meet me after to make me go. He took me out for ice cream after my first appointment, and made time during a very hectic time in his life (his Finals) to go with me. I've been blessed with some very good friends. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> If you talk to your close friends, I'm sure someone will be willing to go with you.
Best of luck!

Tell a trusted friend or adult. Please remember that you are not alone in doing this, and it is always best to tell someone. Its brilliant that you WANT to stop, that's the first step. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> Take care xxxx
