cutting? Options

[juliar]

Alot of times, that person doesn't have anyone for them. I have a friend who would carve the initials of any girl who let him down on his wrists.

ANQEL_R0H DID THAT BEFORE!! SHE WAS TRYING TO CUT HERSELF WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE WHEN SHE WAS IN 6TH GRADE

That's a really smart thing to put out there.
Anyway, don't get on the backs of the people who say that cutting is stupid. Because, it is true. It is pretty stupid if you think about it. But, don't get on my back either. I started cutting myself in 8th grade. My self esteem was so low, and I was in and out of depression from 8th grade .. and I'm pretty sure I'm getting back into it again. I would cut myself everytime I "f**ked things up" to remind myself of how much a dumbass I was... so I could physically feel the pain that was going on in my heart. But then it got worse. I had scars all over my arms, I had nowhere else to cut, so it led to taking pills. Lots and lots of pills--whatever I had in my medicine cabinet. This led to me being admitted in the hospital for a couple days, and now my liver is f**ked up. It's so f**ked up that I'm on more pills now to regulate it and I can't consume any kind of other pills.. Can't take tylenol, and can't drink alcohol at all. There are much better ways than cutting yourself to relieve stress or deal with your pains. You really dont want it to get as far as it did with me. You really don't want to have the burden of thinking that.. if you slip one more time your life might be on the line again. Please.. just to let you guys all know that there are much better ways than cutting yourself. Cutting doesn't help at all. Even though there are times when you feel so tempted to cut yourself (as I have for the past 2 months), don't do it. It's not healthy..

Actually, letting out a bit of blood once in a while is healthy. Before, the "ancient" people used to use leeches to suck out blood... which is ... suppose to purify it? (Slap me if I'm wrong) *gets slapped*

[ul0vejoy]

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.

yea... my friend said it felt relieving to cut herself..
i dont think it was necessarily a "happy" good.. but it just.. felt.. "good" compared to the other things she was feeling at the time.

[ref_inn_ej]

i think ppl cutting wrist are ppl who hide all their emotions inside
they should find a trusting person to tell them their feelings... its just too much to keep
my friend used to cut her wrist cuz she had lots of ppl against her style
i spent time toking to her and then she eventually stopped...
i dunno.. ppl shouldnt cut their wrists.. ><
they make me cry

[Blueiyzboy]

I heard in Biology that people do it in bathtubs so the water keeps the cut open so it wont close...and they turn off the lights so they wont be afraid... I could never think of doing that ever....just to gorry for me... I hate to say it if I was going to do that stuff to kill your self I would find other means, there is no excuse for killing your self...personally I beleive when you are born, that there is a gene that determines your mental status...such as in pysco and suicidal...my Friend tried killing her self and I LUCKILY stopped her...cause I was there at the time. She is all good now.

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

i totally agree 100%. i cant stop.

[wayne]

They're stupid.
I usually make fun of them.
I mean, I make fun of them a lot.
That sh*t don't work around here.

lmao!!! jose ur crazy man. butyeah, cutters are scary tome.. ive done it before.. and i hated it. its something i will never do again. i mean, i dont see that point. some peopletell me its a way to set themselves "free", but to me, its the quickets route to death because if you can cut urself.. u got the balls to stab urself...

[*jeanna*]

awww whats losers hurtting themself MORE form getting hurt... lalalala i would enever cut myself... but to help? you really can't, they do it for their own reason and if they want to tehir not gonna listen especially when they are at a depressed mood

wow you are stubborn. what are you like 11? "lalalal i would never cut myself" just wait. when your world comes crashing down and no one can pull you out of the hell hole, you'll reach for anything for comfort. so don't diss on cutters.

well dont defend them either. there are ways to solve problems other than hurting yourself. you may be one, but that doesnt make it ok. you try to stop, because you know its not good. you can feel sympathy for cutters because of what they must be going through to do that, but you dont defend the fact that they cut

[*jeanna*]

i... just.. dont want people thinking they are stupid or anything. because sadly im a cutter and um.. i dont do drugs or anything.. i.. just dont want little girls thinking cutters are maniacs who are going to kill you in your sleep.

[jambaJUICE]

people that cut sometimes are overexaggerating
sometimes people cut, because they want attention
or cause they think their life is a living hell, and listen to all this music, thats saying CUT MY THROAT LET ME BLEED, yadda yadda

music effects your life
although it should be, GOD affects ur life.*
*but.. that doesnt mean u`ll go to hell if u dont believe in him

so cough cough.

EDIT.
although, i don't believe in cutting. i have
i without a doubt, would never do it again because i know better, and i've found other ways to cope with things. and and.. inthemudhole im also sick of those OMG I LUV LYFE people as well

i listen to fricken britney spears and ashlee simpson and other pop music lol so..erm. well i dont believe in god. so i guess i'm going to be "burning in hell" yay!! ::excited:: [/sarcasm]

[inthemudhole]

Well.
I'm not going to lie.
I have cut myself before.
It's not something that I'm proud of, I guess.
I don't go around showing everyone my scars.
I have my reasons, but I don't care to share them right now.
Yeah.
So.
I'm sick of all the OMG I LUV LYFE people somedays..

[x emo screamo x]

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....  

WHAT SHE SAID!

I've cut before. But it's not like addicting. Just sometimes, when I get REALLY depressed, I do. Mehh....it doesn't hurt to me


As for helping...even though your friend might make you promise to not tell anyone, you're gonna have to break your promise, cuz that's a really serious topic

[*jeanna*]

::sigh:: don't remind me emoxscreamo. i have to tell my phy. [doctor] about my cutting. i dont know what is going to happen. i have it on wednesday. OH SHIT. i just realized it was that many days away and last night i cut. oh no. im screwed. :::double sigh::: ahhh! $#@#$%$# #$%$#@% damn. im so screwed. i will probably end up in a straight jacket..

[pink_tootsie]

its a way for them to release their feelings but however you need to get help for them before it gets dangerous..

[inthemudhole]

Not everyone's gets out of hand.
Hell.
Most just want freaking attention. >_<
I never tell anyone. ;x

[Heathasm]

thell them if they do it enough their wrists will start to rought and fall off

[sunissed14127]

ive thought about cutting,but then i saw what this girl inmy school went thru from cutting & i decided not to.

[mouse_3k]

I think its bad but then again i shouldnt be talking..tht will make me a hypocrit -_-

[dreamerOi]

i say its pretty bad& all but ALMOST everyone does it. most people dont know who. sometimes its the least likely. but people do it. or they think about it. but yea as mouse_3k said that would make me a hypocrit for saying its bad

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

u cant really do anything but just try to convince them not to,and then they most likely wont listen to you, if things get real bad like their suicidal and their parents dont already know, tell their parents.... thats pretty much all u can do.

[PinkTrash]

I dunno, making fun of them isnt that good. I mean theyve probably been through some serious shit, and thats not cool to do so anywayy.. i dont know, is it a form of easy suicide? or iunno how the pain nessicarily helps them really, but i cant stand bloood >.<

[sweetxsimplicity]

Yeah, I read some articles about teens who were really depressed, so just slit their wrists.
..Why their wrists? Why not any other part?!
