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?

aww hun, i had the same thing, after about 2 years. i found other ways to deal with my anger/bad feelings. i put away the blade and rote down how i felt everytime i felt liek cutting, then after a few days ide collect my notes and rip them up and burn them.. as a way to burn away my bad feelings, it helped. u just gotta find different ways that give u that same great feeling of cutting.. its hard trust me i no. i had no help beacuase i kept it a secret for ages. but now i have a better life and im glad i did what i did :)

It doesn't feel good like a massage feels good. It feels good emotionally. I't's like a release of everything. Like your letting all the pain out. (I've cut a few times before.) oh and if you want to wear short sleeves you can cut on your thigh. I mean if your gonna keep cutting. but I cut on my leg because I don't want my family to know and it'd be pretty obvious on my wrist.

this may not be a solution for you, but i would say wear short sleeves, ppl stare tell them f**k it. or cut in different areas, it doesnt have to be arms.

I have the same problem but I only cut/carve myself about twice a month.
