Above the postings on this page are some great resources for people about cutting, have you taken a look at these yet? As everyone has mentioned are you seeing a therapist or do you know of one that you can call. You don't have to find the perfect person right now what might be helpful is to start the process and talk with different people to find your fit.
Are you in school? Is there anyone you can speak to there? There are a lot of professional resources out there and depending on the area you live in there are also support group and therapists that have been dealing with this for a long time.
Here is what I want you to know. You are not alone, you are still a wonderful person who is reaching out for help, and you must be in a lot of pain. This is hard stuff and people who want to get better are very courageous and introspective people. I know this is going to sound hard, but the next time that feeling comes if you can, try diverting it by doing anything for a little while. Going to the gym, taking a walk, talking to a friend, doing something for someone else, anything to either feel what is going on or divert your attention. Just because you cut does not mean you won't get better.
You have already taken the first step by posting here and sounds like you have quite an amazing journey ahead of you...
