Cutting. Options

[Dist0rtion_Withi...]

Cutting is like an addiction like drugs are addiction. You can never stop when you want. I've been cutting/carving for 3 yrs. It feels so good but I can't go on like this. I want to wear short sleeves. Ugh..Also I could go to a mental ward. I'm not going to tell my therapist because she will kill me..What should I do?

[hiromi]

I may seem rude by saying this, but in my opinion, Cutting is absolutely PATHETIC! I mean, it's saying "I cut because It feels good... like squeeshy pillows" (Don't ask, that's the weird way I interpret cutting). Plus, most people who cut, just do it for a petty reason -_- I mean, I can understand if your parents abuse you (as in, hitting, locking up in rooms, etc) or you feel neglected by the world, but that does not always mean you should cut. Just get on with life -_-

[inthemudhole]

Oh, God.
How many of these threads do we need here at createBlog!? ><

Anyway.
I guess I know what you're talking about.. I cut, too.
Maybe you should just tell your therapist.. or try the rubberband idea.
[shrug]
I'm not a good source to go to.. I've never thought about quitting.

And for those spazzing about "OH EM GEEZ HOW KAN IT FEEL GUDZ?!"
Welll.. it just kinda does, okay?

[shortiiex]

aren't you suppose to tell your thearpists everything? well anyway, why are you upset?

[x3_bangbang]

I cut for four and a half years. I started when I was 13 and a half and I never thought about quitting until I sounded a lot like you. I wanted to wear short sleeves and I didn't want to have it always on my mind. I didn't want to need it anymore. I went to therapy for a year, but it never really helped me. You could be different, though. Try telling your therapist. They won't kill you. They're there to help you. And, if you're like me, and it doesn't work, find your very best friend and tell them about it. Set up a plan that whenever you feel the need to cut, you'll call them or they can come and stay with you until you get through the feeling. That's what did it for me. I was finally able to let go, and I haven't cut in 7 months. I finally threw out all my razors that I was keeping.

It felt like the best thing in the world. Even better than cutting itself. I still go through tough times and I often find myself needing to pick up the habit again, but I know how controlling it gets and I don't want to be controlled anymore.

Everyone has their own way of releasing the feelings inside. And, I know you'll never understand, but sometimes the pain on the outside (i.e. cutting) feels a hell of a lot better than what you feel on the inside. Try being a little more open minded.

Anyway, I hope you stop soon. <3

you should stop. i used to cut. but no more. cutting is very bad for you. you can cut your vein if your not carefull. STOP WITH THE CUTTING & STOP WITH THE DRUGS.

Yes'm, sorry about that Just that one of my Ex-Best friends had started cutting for some of the stupidest reasons. I sometimes Make assumptions too quickly, so yeah. Forgive about my not-so Open mind at times... (sorry if it Kind of went a bit off topic)

[chikensdocluck]

cutting is just disrespect for your own self there is aboslutley no reason for suicide and it feels good how can it feel good my friend does it and she bleeds so much just do yourself a favor and left yourself live longer

[yoohgotpangd]

Cutting yourself can lead you into real bad stuffs ... trust me >_<. EVEN THOUGH i NEVER actually cut myself, I`ve made some attempts every now and then. My friend was cutting herself for a little while, but she got over it by hiding all her cutting utensils, and she tried to not cut herself for two weeks straight ... and she hasn`t cut herself since. So maybe if you try to stop the cutting for a little while it`ll get better.

[KissMe2408]

yah i used to cut, but i stopped. ANd you really need to stop too. And your therapist won't kill you becuz ur cutting. You should tell her, and if SHE can't understand then get a new one, and tell ur parents about it. Seriously, it's gotta stop now

[azn_r4pf4n]

(im a guy, but rlly i agree)

cutting annoys the heck out of me when i hear it, but i cant rlly say anything about it when ppl do it, cuz it makes them feel worser. it doesnt work at all to relieve pain. makes it worser.

[krispy_kreme333]

people that have never done it will never understand how it helps so please stop jugding and making assumptions!!!
sry but that really bugs me!!

anyways, i used to and then i stopped and then i started again for about 2-3 weeks and then i just stopped because i really had no reason to keep doing it and i havent done it since!! i know how hard it is to stop because it is so addicting and i know how you feel but right now it feels good knowing that i dont have to worry about trying to hide my scars. i only went to a theripast (sp?) once but then i didnt think i needed it and after that i stopped. you should tell your therapist about your cutting so you can get help and wear short sleeved shirts again. please stop, trust me, youll feel a million times better then you do right now!

[*xcaitlinx*]

why in the world do people cut themselves?

are u that much of a coward...that u go on with ur life pitying ur self, and inflicting pain on ur body.

if ur life is so horrible, then stop complaining about it to other people...and cut down the road not across the street.

but i kno that u wont do that, so stop cutting in the first place. cuz its killing u...slowly.

[ that wasnt to u, its to cutters in general lol ]

[SantaClause'sGF]

I don't cut. And even if I wanted to I probably couldn't. Just like they said. Just getting a papercut hurts. I couldn't do cuts much longer and deeper than a paper cut.. It must hurt. I think you should see a therapist. I doubt it feels good

[swe3ttemptasian]

cutting isn't the answer, maybe you should cut to the chase where you talk it out..w/ someone who can help?

[iheartsimba]

your asking us what to do? WE can't do anything. It's all a personal choice on how much is to much.

[LiLaZnGirL122]

I don't cut.
But I know that when I get a papercut, it hurts like hell.
You have too much stress.
I think you should talk it out...
cutting is not the answer.

I NOE IT HURTS SO BAD I CANT STAND IT.. gurl ui need to stop cutting RITE NOW
get all da knifes and throw it away

[inthemudhole]

Telling someone to stop cutting won't exactly work.
Especially if you're telling them from an online situation.. with probably no compassion. Just posting for the sake of posting.

[chaoticchrissy]

....


brings back too many memories i use to do that, until i found another way to take out my anger, and sadness, talk so someone you trust, they are there to help.


[ didnt mrean for that to sound like a commerical but its true ]

[goodeddie]

good

[goodeddie]

hgood

[imm]

omg.... what the heck..it feels good?

Yeah. It does.

[whywasisostupid]

put bandage on ur arms and say its a new fashion

[becomingAWARE]

im so sorry. I have heard of this one tratment-er, at home therapy- you can try. maybe put some rubber bands on your wrist and snap em when you get the urge to cut?

[aznxdreamer]

i cut once..then it scarred and the scars arent going away. which is bad cuz now theres scars in shape of x's all over my arm.
