cutting yourself... Options

[jeSs1cA]

i never have, and don't plan on it. i don't see how it can be OKAY. i seriosuly don't see the point when it just makes you have MORE pain because well.. your CUTTING yourself. ah, just doesn't make sense. i have no idea why people would want to HURT themselves more. and it reveals pain? gaaah..


well anyways, just my opinion.

[inthemudhole]

Okay..

For those of you that don't understand why a person would cut themselves or anything like that, please click here.

It is a very good site if you're wondering about why people would do such a thing.

[*freshxsmiles*]

Erg, i think Cutting yourself..is wrong, you're actually hurting yourself. w/o realizing it, because your hurt inside.. But just tell you friend HOW You personally feel, instead of telling her to stop...

[yellowgurl]

tell her how you feel and be there for her.. find out whats bugging her if it doesnt bother her.. and tell her that she should try to stop or let her do what she wants for now. and alert her parents

[MrDolphin]

Man..so many of my friends have done this..but its not really a problem solver, just another problem.

[*B5'zMami4Lyphe*]

I think it's a really retarded thing to do to urself and whoever does it has serious issues. Why in tha world would I wanna hurt and mess up myself to feel better? I juss don't get it. That's sum depression shizz.

[*anubis*]

you either understand it or you don't.

it doesn't relieve pain as in "ouch i fell off my bike" kinda pain. but morely emotional pain.

and believe it or not, it actually works.

if you don't understand it, consider yourself lucky. because the pain that actually leads to it is so unbearable that sometimes people just... break.

cuttnig does help when your sad/angry. its impossible to understand unless you have actually been through it. all people who cut/have cut would agree with me. its a very interesting feeling that you cant express in words. if your really curious about what it feels like, then cut yourself.

I AM NOT A CUTTER ANYMORE

[vampireduster]

i cut myself. i havent done it for a few months because i promised my boyfriend that i wouldnt do it. I dont want to hurt him so i dont do it

I was originally going to write my whole paragraph on how I think cutting is stupid, but when I read the article about Self-Injuring that Despise linked, it all made sense to me now...

so this is what I think (IN MY OPINION):
people who like to cut can go cut because they can't control their own actions, while people who are smart enough not cut to won't cut, and can cope with depression without physical injuries, AND actually control themselves! Yay!

note to self: I am so going to hell....

[aznxdreamer]

^^ so basically your saying people who cut are stupid? wow...that is just...wow NO.

[WinterNights2]

What kind of dumbf**k would cut themselves. Stupid white folk.

Dang Yula, why you gotta be so stupid. it's not an issue to play around with. I'm not saying people who do this are stupid, its the situation (because a situation that causes you to do it, is never as bad as we make it) & the idea of doing such a thing is stupid. Not the person. Just talk about things with someone you trust.

wow. give us more statements to support your "fact", please.

What's up w/ "white" folk You're quite interesting.

It's your right if you want to cut. I used to cut and I'll admit on several occasions I've thought about starting again, but it takes a bit of common sense for you to realize it's not helping. And that's where logic comes in and that's why I quit. People can cut if they want, but it's not doing them any permenant good. It's only temporary relief. But it's entirely their right and people who try to preach to them really need to get a life. It's not wrong or right.

It's a way of relieving pain and if people want to do it LEAVE THEM THE F**K ALONE

Now THAT I have nooo idea about...
Most of the cutting threads always get moved here, and I really don't understand that. I mean, I guess because a lot of people cut because of a bad relationship, whether it has to do with a friendship, a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, family, etc., but not everyone that cuts chooses to cut because of that, so honestly... I'm not sure.

[*suddenly she*]

err guys.. if you're like "dude that's stupid only idiots do that," please don't post.

[sindeecindy]

sometimes it's better to feel the physical pain.... it kinda lets out the other pain... this is just from what i understand.... i don't think it's good for u to cut.

i do it... and worse sometimes.... don't think i can talk about it here. Sometimes I just want the pain to stop. I am seeing a shrink and i'm not gonna do anything REALLY bad... so don't worry.

I guess i've made enough of a fool of myslef

[AbandonedFayth]

its not the fact that its right or wrong its the reasons that you do it. I know lots of people that do it to relieve pain and honestly...sometimes its the only thing that helps. If your friend says shes doing it because of that then let her figure out her own mistakes. If shes acting suicidal and talking about death and not wanting to be here anymore then take action and speak up.

I used to cut I was under so much stress.

[pinklove_stains]

I use to think it was "pathetic" not that i dont now,
but i understood more about it after my friend started to
cut herself.

they don't wanna keep hearing us say they're stupid,
if people start cutting themselves they really need someone
to talk to or just to be there for them.

Well, my friend ,i helped her out by making a dairy
cause whenever shes in pain, when she wants to
talk about her problem shes starts crying and it makes
me cry, too and i feel that i couldn't help her,cause
all we see in the end is everyone drained in tears.

the diary helped us both alot when she was in pain,
i'd pass her the dairy ,pat her back and told her im
there for her and left her alone to write everything.
this diary thing went on for 2 years and she LOVES her skin now
even when we talk about her cutting her skin, shes scared :D.

they need time to heal, instead of dissing them.
DO LISTEN and take things easy with them.

STOP CALLING THEM STUPID, everyone has those troubled days.
i never did it cut my wrist, i won't and will never but i don't mind helping those
who do.

old as the topic is I feel like throwing in my 2 cents. Cutting helps. This is how it used to go for me - I'd get pissed off and depressed and I couldn't express it because I was so obsessed with keeping up this perfect image for my parents and for my sister to look up to. After building everything up I'd cut myself. Deep enough to bleed. Deep enough to scar. The adrenaline rush and release would put my in a calm for awhile, until the whole thing repeated. I think what helped me stop the most was having friends that understood AND having friends that wanted me to stop.

FS Brie! That site. Escalates in your 20s?! Escalates?! That would have killed me... God.
