cutting yourself... Options

[aznxdreamer]

it's not a matter of if people THINK that cutting is wrong or not.
BECAUSE IT IS. It's straight out wrong and disgusting...and pitiful. Cutting is for low-lifes that can't deal with stress or their problems. Inflicting pain on urself using a knife or razor or switchblade? Shame on you...fool.
And if you cut -- you may do it because you're a coward. Cutting is for people that don't have the balls to commit suicide. Why do so many people taking living for granted?

im sorry but, f**k you. that pissed me off real bad. you obvoiusly have never cut before or are too shallow to understand why people cut and how it feels.

im not even gonna quote all the people who say cutters are stupid ignorant bitches because there are just too many and that just pisses me off so bad. as i have said at least 18 times now...YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT FEELS UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE IT. AND IF YOU DECIDE TO AUTOMATICALLY JUDGE PEOPLE WHO DO CUT THEN YOUR A STUPID IGNORANT BITCH.
cutting is not for cowards who are afraid to commit suicide. at least cutters have the courage to hurt themselves, im sure you people wouldnt even have the guts to prick yourself with a needle. im sorry, but im just so pissed off right now after i read all the posts from people who say that cutters shallow.
I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH CUTTING, i really dont. society is what makes cutting seem so bad. honestly...answer my question..whats wrong with cutting? besides its "causing more pain" or "its hurting yourself!" cause those are just all the reasons why cutters do cut. cutting is a beauiful thing, and i dont say that in a morbid, depressed, psycho way.
its hard for cutters to debate about cutting because its just so much easier to be on the non cutters side because all cutters have to say is "you never know until you've actually done it" and i think thats why so many choose to be on the non cutting side of todays society. they're confused about it.
FUUUCKK

if you're doing it on purpose i don't think that's ok.

cutting is stupid, it has no meaning... and it does hurt, never tried, but i know what hurts and what doesnt... tell her that you dont like it, and try to get her help

[xXMomoBubbleTeaX...]

I've known people @ my skool who cut themselves..This one girl cutted herself & her boyfriend started cutting himself soOo she would stop soOo that everytime she cutt herself he would feel her pain with her!!..seems kind of dumb to do, but the guy realli cared for her & realli loved her...& she felt guilty so she stopped..

how do you know if its stupid or not when you havent even tried it?

[*danielle_x3*]

i don't cut. i cringe at the thought. but people have different ways to handle the pain that they face && i respect that

[aznxdreamer]

^thank you.

[elaboratedream]

cutting is bad I guess... that's what everyone tells me, but it is a way to get rid of some emotional pain for a little bit. All my friends get mad at me for doing it, but I don't care. It helps keep me somewhat sane... although my friends say that you have to be insane in the first place to do something like that... so I rephrase that. It keeps me alive. Think about it.

cutting isn't really that bad

Um.. isn't the pain the point?

if you're doing it on purpose i don't think that's ok.

Well, they don't care what you think.

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.

It RELIEVES pain. It's taking your mind off of your mental stress and into physical pain. There are several reasons why people cut. Stop being so narrow-minded.

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.

SO f**king TRUE.

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.

You are extremely narrow-minded as well. Retarded? What the hell is wrong with you? Please, go educate yourself before you make a comment like that.

^People are stupid.

I used to cut, but I don't anymore... and it really did take away my emotional pains...

^ i completely agree with you, even though i've never done it i hear it relieve stress-painfully, but i guess people are used to it i totally respect that although i'd prefer findind a different way to relieve stress like music, i have nothing agaisnt cutters. But sometime they worry me im afraid they might lose blood or cause an infection.

[Paradox of Life]

^ Whoa. That was an awesome post. Anyone who can't respect other peoples' choices can burn in hell.

[krispy_kreme333]

i am trying to quit. it is so hard, but i know that it hurts so many other people and i dont want to be like this anymore.
i agree with both of the posts above me.

[*jeanna*]

cutting helped me out alot. it was nice having something secretive about myself. like my little thing i could take care of and no one else could see. i ended up fussing to my dad [i was already on depression pills] and i got a high dosage and realized i don't need to cut and plus it will get me in alot of trouble if anyone finds out. there are other ways to cope with pain.

[ag3nt_sm17h]

I understand the reasons, just wouldn't do it myself.... thought a bout it, but won't do it.

[DrSMooTH]

eh...cutting. i tried it once to see what the hell the big deal is. I didn't really find anything to come out of it, but w/e. Anyway, tell your friend how you feel about it and make her see the reality of cutting herself, i.e. doesn't take away the pain, hurts herself and her family, etc. Also tell her that nuthing is so bad that you have to hurt yourself over.

all your doing is killing yourself.. or just getting your self killed in a slow way...

[elaboratedream]

all your doing is killing yourself.. or just getting your self killed in a slow way...

how are you killing yourself? unless of course you cut really deep... in which case you could die, but most people don't. What people don't understand is that the emotional pain is so bad that it feels like it's killing you slowly... eating away everything you ever cared about or ever enjoyed... eating your very soul away. It's hard to describe, and you don't understand unless you've felt that kind of pain. When you cut, it releases some of that. Your mind focuses on the physical pain and it relieves some of the emotional pain. Without the release that it provides, it gets harder and harder to live each day and I noticed that the longer I go without cutting, the more I start thinking about suicide. So think of it this way. Cutting helps you live.

Anyone who says that cutters are stupid or some shit like that can burn in hell for all I care. I know everyone says it's wrong, but think about it. If it helps the person live then how can it be so wrong? People can't help the way they feel to start out with... but they can relieve some of the pain. so quit being narrow minded bitches and try to see it our way for once. I've at least examined your point of view before making my conclusion, why can't you do the same? maybe you'll change your mind if you at least try to consider it from my point of view.

Emo faggots. End of story.

[Paradox of Life]

... If you try to cut and say it's stupid, you are stupid. People only cut because they want to cut. Cutting your flesh in itself is usually not necessarily for pleasure, but merely to neutralize pain. And again, respect other peoples' choices and opinions and don't say they are stupid for doing what they need to do. They have a reason. Leave them alone. Thanks.

there are a lot more healthier and less painful ways to deal with anger and depression

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

Cutting releases endorphines which give you the sense of happiness...but, y'know what? There are safer && more beneficial alternatives than cutting yourself. Suggest eating chocolate...umm, but not going overboard, chocolate makes you feel happy because of endorphines...&& excersising, endorphines as well.

I used to cut whenever my dad was, yeah. I got over that, my mom kicked my dad's ass for me.

Sometimes people do it && say it makes them feel better for attention, but I don't wanna accuse your friend of that, I don't even know her, it's not my place. Whatever her reason is, all that matters is that it's dangerous && it draws your concern for her health....Telling her your feelings on what she's doing to herself is the best tactic. Maybe she just needs to know someone's there for her? I'm sure you're there for her, so she can talk to you about things.

[JessBur1981]

You people are idiots, cutting yourselves? How lame. Go cut someone else and see how you feel then.

[elaboratedream]

Cutting releases endorphines which give you the sense of happiness...

yeah, I heard that... but that's the main reason people cut. It's more... redirecting the pain
