Has anyone slit their wirst?

Nope. And I don't intend to.

nope i havent and will never. i mean no matter how bad things may get i just dont see the point in hurting myself physically when im already hurting emotionally. and cutting urself wont do anything but make u bleed and scar.

jackie

no, i haven't. i don't think i could do that to myself, i wouldn't want to.

Im just curious... just came to my mind... i have never done it either

i just have so much shit crashing down on me right now... and i have a tendency to punch walls and stuff... the pain of that made me think of people slitting their wrist...

yes.

why?

Mel? YOu serious?

Well, no. I haven't.

my brother does that, punches walls when he's upset. he leaves like big dents into the wall.

i hope things get better for you though. i have also have alot of shit crashing down on me too. it's hard dealing with it.

You see i dont want things to get better... everytime they get better shit just goes down again... my girlfriend broke up with me, the only person I ever cared about... any my aunt just told me we arent going to the caribbean.... and now i have a bunch of friends who are mad at me...

things were getting better, but for some reason they arent anymore

I know how you feel- the past two weeks have been terrible for me, especially since my bf and i broke up, but things are actually looking up. so, don't think too hard about the bad things and try to focus on the positive.
and yeah- i haven't thought about cutting, and i don't plan on doing it- i really can't see myself doing that to myself.

i've gotten close to it..but im not ready to die yet and i dont want to put my familee and friends thru anything but happiness..

no and i never will .. i have friends who have cut themselves before but not on their wrists.

i know how yOo feel sometimes. there would be days, even weeks where things were just piling on top of each other and making matters worst. my bf and i broke up for awhile and hated me, then my friends turned their backs on me, my family hated and ignored me .. i had no one. but i stuck through it, as mad as i was for all this happening i knew things would get better and they did .. and some are gradually still getting better

Yes...so many times, and still some now...and it's not something I'm proud of...and I hope to whatever god may exist that none of you take it up, because it doesn't help...it only leaves scars that don't fade fast...

Nope; I don't plan to either.

A lot of friends have done it and they're still unhappy, if not more so.
I don't want to end up like that too.

Yes. I know exactly how you feel. I almost dread for things to get better. Because everytime things are going great, everything crashes.

And, I used to and are still tempted sometimes.

[nods]

I've never cut myself. I mean, you know, we all go through that stage where we want to commit suicide or just think about it, some do it, some don't. I mean, I have thought about it (when I'm really frustrated and mad) but then I think about the future that lays ahead of me. I try to think about positive stuff (although the future can also bring negative things), but it's always nice to know that you were able to live your life the way you were intended to. I always hear this thing where like if you commit suicide or something, you have your after life in darkness and you only enter heaven (or hell i think) the time you were really supposed to die. Whoa, that was spiritual. Anywhoo, I hope everything goes well for you Jamie. I'm sorry that had to happen to you (the breakup and all). If you ever want to talk about it, you can IM me.

i've slit both of my wirst. bad thing is that i did not die. i didn't cut it it on purpose, though p.p.l thought i did. all i got was hela pain and lost like alot of blood. anyway, i think of suiciding everyday. the time my gf breaks up with me is the time i shall make up my mind.

i do sometimes

i don't cut. but i think about suicide too. alot.

i used to cut. not my wrists or any place of importance though. its an aweful habit, its almost like an addiction. i get urges to cut myself, its very weird.

I couldn't do it. I freak out when I cut myself shaving my legs.

My roommate last year was a cutter. She hid it from everyone the entire year.

She's gotten some help though, and she's much much better.

Well I decided just to do it.. just to relieve emotional pain with physical... nothing to serious, but it felt good... i also punched walls... broke a bone in my hand...

I think I'm good now

No....I don't see that there is a point of cutting yourself.

I have, one time in 5th grade, and like two times a few months ago, the first time was over a guy oh how dumb of me, and the others were because my friends wouldnt stop doing it, so when they saw that I did it, they decided to stop but now I dont do that, instead I use a ruberband, if I have something stressful on my hands, then yeah pull the rubberband, at least it doesnt draw blood, but someone said its bad for your veins... hMmm

well umm i kinda did. i waz too scared to cut to deep so i cut it sooo shallow that it didnt even bleed, but it waznt lyke i waz tryin to commit suicide or n e thing but i stio regret doin it.

yes

You may not see it but others do... It's tough when the thought of dying or killing yourself runs through your mind at least three times a day... and it's tough when you lose a loved one or when you're depressed... Some people aren't very strong... so they resort to hopelessness and cutting.

Agreed.

Some people, who aren't that emotionaly stable, do things that make themselves less stressed.

However, I don't cut myself. Why? Cause I'm squeemish, I can't stand blood.

Instead, I resorted (past tense kiddos) to rubber bands. I had all of these scars on my arms.

i have its very sad...i rather not talk about it

yah...sometimes i used earasors too

kayyyy.

noooo i couldnt ever cut myself ON PURPOSE!

Nah i never could or wanted to, but i can understand the fact that some people just aren't emotionally capeable of handling some things. If that's the case then they need to get help. Help is always around the corner, you just have to look for it.

well... i have slit mi wrists but i dont do it anymore .... but i just moved and i had to leave my boyfriend and we were goin out for like 1 year n a half or sumthin n it was realy hard for me n i still miss him ... but now he has a new g/f n it hurtz me to think dat shes in mi place uno? also mi dads realy mean n mi mom left me when i was in 3rd grade n evrything got realy hard so i thought if i slit mi wrist the mental pain would go away n i would concentrate on the pysical pain... but now i know that it doesnt make anything better ... if any one is thinkin of doin it think twice cuz it will juss leave scars and it hurts n it doesnt solve anything ... i regret that i did that... cuz now i have scars all over mi arms and if ppl see then iunno what to tell them cuz i dont wanna tell them the truth... now when things get bad i try my best not to think about doin it ... the last time i did it was ... bout 3 weeks ago n once you start its hard to stop... but if u dont its juss gonna get worse ... hang in iight?

I've always had thoughts about it when I was really depressed. But things always come over me and I go, "Why should I do this?"...then things kinda go back to how they always were, but I never get my problem solved....

And this rotation goes on and on...

Yes, I have cut before. But it's not just something people choose to do. It can be a sort of illness. It doesn't mean your insane. It's another way o dealing with problems. Cutter's are people who cut there wrist to relieve their problems. They believe that when they are angry or whatever feeling, their feeling that cutting will change it and instead of saying I'm angry and someone hurt my feelings, they can say, my arm hurts thats why I'm sad. I have to get serious help because I hurt myself to an extreme extent. I don't just cut..I cut and then rub salt, mouthwash, dis-infectant, windex and whatever else I can find to rub on my cuts, so yeah. DONT CUT! I'm not proud of what I do, or have done...So I'm, now going to tell people not to do that anymore..I will help people stop..just like people helped me...

I cant deal with emotional pain... so when I'm upset I cause physical pain on myself... punching walls is usually how i do it...

hahaha... i cut my self.. [back of my wrist] on 1/1/04. special eh? ;] well.. it was bc all the shitz been goin on and stuff... somehow i made it a cross.. so now everyone thinks im damn religious when im not.. weelll anywayyz.. i got lots comments after cutting. lots friends just screamed at me.. and give me the looks like im insane.. but c`mon... only cutters understand this... you dont feel the pain when you cut yourself.. i mean.. when you angry enough to cut yourself.. you dont feel the pain.. and instead.. it release the emotional pain for you...

i dont c any problems with cutting..

you know, once the scar stays you regret it.
you swear u'll never do it again.

then one month later, something happens
and you just do it agian

it's an addiction.

god and i regret it completley, i hate making up lies to my parents where i get the scars from

yes..i have...ick. i wish i hadnt. it doesnt solve anything...but then again..im jus a f*ck up in life anyways. *sighs* but w/e. i can assure u i shall never cut again. EVER! yes.

haha. you inspiered me and i tryed to punched the wall today . then my mum got pissed at me cause the impact of my punch made a crack on the wall. should ether get a punching bag or a bigger brother.

damn you must have weak walls... my wall kicked my ass... broken bone

Isn't there a better and healthier way to relieve emotional pain? When I am depressed, listening to death metal is a relieve for me. Well, I guess people have their own way of dealing with problems, which may include cutting.

yeah.. all of us cutters are lame little emo kids who cry to the thought of our own misery so we parade around all day slitting our wrists and crying in a corner curled up in the fetal position.


we're so pathetic

i totaly agreee

We all have our different ways of dealing with emotional pain... for some of us it isnt as easy as listening to music... I cant get rid of my emotional pain unless i cause some other pain, which is physical...

I've never cut myself - yet. I always want to, but I'm just gutless. I'm scared of the pain. But I have a lot of friends who do ut themselves and they say the pain is great. Who knows, I might actually do it one day...

Usually music helps me with my mood. Just like death metal helps you. But to some there are usually more than just one way to relieve themselves from depression or emotional pain. To some they project their emotional pain into physical pain upon themselves as a defense mechanism.
