Im Affraid

[anonymous]

Salam brothers and sisters in Islam,
I have been going through a phase in my life where i just cant stop doing this bad thing. its been going on for the past year, i will stop for a month or so, then start again. for 6 months i didnt know it was haram, and so i stop for a good 3 months or so but the urges got stronger and i couldnt take it no longer. during the first 6 months where i didnt know it was haram (im a female btw) Im not sure but i think i done something really bad, and i started bleeding. I couldnt move out of shock and burst our into tears.

first q: what cause the bleeding?

second q: how can i stop preforming this act, i say i will stop but then i re start, after each time i do it, i regret it so badly, i cry to allah to help me stop, but i alway go back to it.
