What's wrong with cutting?


Other than the fact that it scars your skin?
Why do people look down on the habit and the people who do it? Why are people considered "psycho" if they cut themselves?

how can I stop from biting my nails?



Answers:
as a cutter myself i have to tell you it is wrong, but i can't tell you to stop cuz i still cut.

i read something the other day by another person that we as cutters have external scars, but think of alcoholics, they have internal scars on their livers, is that much different? i chose a blade instead of a bottle, is that much different?

am i "phycho" cuz i hurt myself? i hurt no one else? i commit no murders, no hit and runs either by accident, sorry, it's true, yes?

i plan my cuts, i don't cut deep, i don't cut near veins, i do what i need to do to release internal pain and build up, i get what i need and that's that. and if it hurts for someone to see a scar, well though sh*t.

meds and therapy just don't cut it for me, they don't do the job 100% after all these years. and i've self-injured since i was a child in one way or another. just that now i dominantly cut. if i get a bruise i may make it worse, even though i did not initially self-inflict it.

another thing i do, but love it, is the pain of getting a tattoo, but that's expensive and also looked down on sometimes in society. i'm labelled no matter what i do. and when i get a tattoo and it does not hurt, i get upset, disappointed.

so i say, let me do what i want to do, i'm not dumb, i've gone to doctors if it has needed medical attention.

suicidal.kinda?

Cutting yourself is not the way to deal with pain in your life. God did not make you to hurt yourself. In order to have a good life you need to love YOU. If you don’t LOVE you you can never love anyone else. If you feel the desire to cut seek therapy of god they can help you through it.

How can i stop myself from eating today?

Just like any other disorder, any other addition, it's unhealthy because it prevents you from dealing with what ever stress you have in the right way. The right way being, talking it out, doing something that isn't harmful to yourself or others and being able to face your feelings. Cutting is hiding from the real problem.

Sugar, if you are mutilating yourself in any way, you're not psycho, but you obviously have a hard time dealing with things that upset you. Life can be really hard. There are so many things that pressure a person, and so many choices, how does one know what is the right one to make?

Please talk to someone. If there is no person you feel you can talk to, have a heart-to-heart communication with God.
He loves you, you are His precious child He made, and He wants you to come to Him for the answers to all those questions and problems.

I hope that you can get past this mutilation of yourself. Always remember that your body is a Temple.

God Bless you, sugar.

People who don't understand the reasons behind cutting would think people who do it are psycho. These people are ignorant.

For people who do cut, the reason it is not a good idea to do is because there are healthier ways to sooth yourself. Defending yourself.(Being assertive.) Expressing your feelings and not being afraid of the reaction other people will have are just a few.

Where do birth marks come from?

People look down on you because they don't understand you. It is incomprehensible to most people as to why anyone would want to hurt themselves. The full spectrum of humanity scares people. You call hurting yourself a "habit" when it should be considered a disorder. It's as if you accept this "habit" and expect others to accept it in the same way people accept the habit of nailbiting. It's not ok to hurt yourself. If you're having difficulties dealing with your stressors and need to feel pain to release your frustration then try holding a piece of ice in your hands. Eventually you'll get the same sensation without leaving marks on your body and without frightening those around you.

Are you happy with your body?

Well, It is not strange. It is an Illness. People who cut on themselves are trying to release pain,And they believe this is the ONLY WAY to get rid of the pain. It can be cured. Through medication, therapy, AND LOTS OF CARING AND UNDERSTANDING, From friends, and family.
