cutting? Options

[veryberri]

there are soo many of my friends that get soo depressed that they cut themselves constantly on their wrists..i think it`s reallyy dangerous but i can`t get through to them ..what do you guys think about people slitting their wrists?

[pbear]

Someone once explained to me a little bit of why they cut.
They said:

It's a way for me to express my feelings.
I hurt so much, but there's never anyone to help me.
Sometimes I cut just to make sure I'm still alive.
To see the blood dripping from my wrist- that tells me that I'm still living in this hell.

So I can't say I haven't gotten through to people who cut.
I just don't know exactly how to help.

I guess some people like to see themselves bleed.

I wouldn't ever cut though, all those nasty scars..and it can't be good for you. And that's pretty pathetic that they mutilate themselves under the guise of "depression". Depression doesn't make you cut yourself, but it's a good way to become and stay depressed. Losers.

it's true , cutting is bad for you but sometimes you can't help it and usually once you start you can't really stop anymore and it takes a lot of self motivation to stop .. kinda like smoking

well, i used to... erm... but i regret it alot. i guess i did it before cause i was like half retarded half enjoying it tho. i ono, maybe its just me, but it felt kinda good(?) cause its like... i ono okay. but i think some people just do it for attention while others its like a serious thing. for me, it was just like, i cut, laugh, hide it. its retarded, and i hated it when people would go like "omg why did you do that" i would be like stfu, its my f**king buisness. but thass just me. others just like cry when you ask them. some will start b!!ching at you. some will be like "oh..." and yea. -_-x

well, i slit my wrists too. umm.... well, i got into this fight at school cuz of this thing that this kid said to me, which was the main reason i cut myself. and well, when they found out the actual reason that i cut myself (they didn't know that i did cut myself) they sent me to the guidence councler. basicly i told her my whole depressing life story and i told her and showed her my wrists. i knew my parents were going to find out, but i knew i needed help before it got worse. she took me to the nurse. she called my dad and told him so i wouldn't have to tell him and then she told my mom. i'm going to see a theropist on monday. i know it will be good for me. and i will stop cutting. i hadn't for month until that kid braught back memories and put me back through my depression. i have four cuts on my wrists and one scar. then i have a scar on my forearm because when i told and showed my friend about the cut a couple months ago, she said she'd tell my bro if i didn't stop so i knew that she could easily see it on my wrists so i did it on my forearm. i know i need help and now i'm finaly getting it. but the proboblem isn't only what happened in school, it starts from when i was a baby. so it's going to take a while to fully 'heal' myself. i duno. its a turn for the better. but the part that started from when i was a baby has to do with my mom and i told her that and she denies it. she just doesn't get it. she's a bitch and now i'm in a huge fight with her. i'm staying with my dad for a while. my parents are divorsed and i can't stand my mom for now, so... whatever!

that's kinda how i feel. i don't know if i'm still like living this unbarable thing, or if it's only a dream. i don't like the pain, but it makes me feel light and takes the pain from the real world. but it leaves scars to help remember the bad times...

[poisonedxivy]

i guess thats their way of coping with stress. even so, they know you disapprove. and if they've been doing this for a long time, they also know the dangers. its kinda like any other "addiction" ... you can't get them to stop once the realize how wrong it is themselves, and even then they're the ones that wanna have to stop doing it. just tell them that you're worried about them and that you don't approve but you're always there to help them, or there for them to vent if they ever need someone. thats about all you can do without interfering with their choices =\

okay... normaly i like you... but alot of the time people cut themselves is because of PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!! i mean, i started because tons of people like ganged up on me. not at one time, but i mean like people would always make fun of me. not for that, but eventualy after that, i cut myself. so please don't make fun of them because that probobly means that things are going wrong for them, and you making fun of them is just one more thing that they have to worry about. so please just don't be like an uncaring bastard like you are being by making fun of people like that. i mean, you don't know what it's like to be them, and that might be their only way to cope... at least as far as they know. and i was just wondering... WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TO MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE?!?!?!?! I MEAN, WHAT'S THE F*CKING POINT???? i just wanted to let you know, that people like you and people who make fun of others leave scars even deeper... in the heart and soul. that's what happened to me. so i guess i tried to bring the scars closer to the surface and i started cutting myself. well, please stop! grrr....

well coming from a cutters view (me), theres a few reasons. for me, i do it because i think everything is my fault so i punish myself and it also releives my emotional stress . I am on recovery now but i mean its not necessarly dangerous. only if u go down too deep, then its dangerous. i only break the skin and let out a few drops of blood. no biggy. som reasons are

-They hate something about themselves
-Releives them from depression or emtional problems
-They feel guilty for everything so they punish themselves
-They want to be in control (they can choose not to cut or cut)
-It can be a scream for help
-It can be for attention/trying to be cool (such a stupid reason but its true)

but yah these are the basic reason(s) why we cut ourselfs. all i can give to u is just give the company and tell them your there. just try being with them and taking them out to a amusment park or just chillin at home or somethin. keep their mind away from it. it will eventually have them forget about it....


its wht my bf did to me and it worked

thats not right...making fun of them is the last thing u should do...

i think its just as wrong to cut yourself as it is to cut someone else.....

this girl i kno (not my friend) courtney, cuts her face, not her wrist and i think she does it for attention....

That ends up being one of the reasons they end their life Jose. People who laugh, people who sneer, people who make fun of them. Life is already bad enough and more people have to make it worst for you.

I've never cut myself before. But I have a few friends who do. It's a way to release everything. It's a way to speak those unspoken words. It's a way to cry, without the falling of tears.

There are people, like me, who don't tell others stuff. People who keep everything inside and suffer by themself. Some choose to cut themself to feel better. The pain that they feel makes them feel good, feel whole. And others just cry in their sleep. I do the latter.

[X serenity]

i know this person who cuts themself, and you can see the scars all over her arms . she said she does it, because she's "depressed". then someone told her to stop, and she did. to relieve her depression now, she works out

[xtremeliquid]

One of my friend did that once.

okay that was wrong. people cut to let out their anger//sorrow or whatever. its their way of dealing with pain and stuff. and making fun of them for it isnt going to help or make them stop. it will most likely make it worse. once upon a time when i used to cut [i stoped. havent cut for about a month and a half!! wee!] and these guys at school would always make fun of me and call me stupid and retarded for doing it. but they didnt know how i felt. they didnt have to feel some of the pain i felt. and they jus made me wanna cut more. yeah..iunno. but you really shouldnt make fun of them.their life is bad enough without people like you making it worse...

[white_gurl4rompr]

i think cuttin is bad my friend does it because all the stress we have to put up with at school we have to get 85 or over or else we get kicked out of the sp program im a cutter my self but dont get caught

[pimpin231]

i think that cutting your self is hella stupid

[white_gurl4rompr]

because of people like u i do it because of u i cut my self just now

[pimpin231]

sorry

[white_gurl4rompr]

pimpin231 ur a real ass

[pimpin231]

thanks

[white_gurl4rompr]

its alright my cut will heal

[xInSaNiTaTiOnx]

yea my friend cuts herself, she has all these scars and stuff. she wrote an essay for class about it too, something about it takes away the pain of everything else and it makes her feel alive or something. you shouldn't make fun of people like that sometimes that's what makes them go more extreme, like suicidal.
you know what, you guyz should read the book cut, it tells you a lot about it and how people feel about it.


i cut myself once, daym it hurt... now i just cry...
