Do you cut?
Question:
but i dont want a long lecture about getting help... i just want to know that im not alone
Answers:
Nope. Based on the answers to your question, do you feel alone? You know what you're doing to yourself isn't right or normal for that matter, and when you ready to stop you'll get some help. Take care. All the best.
No, I don't cut, but I know other people that do. You aren't alone. There are a lot of people who cut. They just might not like others to know about it. Good luck.
I just cut the cheese. Other than that, no I find no personal gratification in causing myself pain. No long lecture, go ahead and torture yourself...one less weirdo in the boat.
No, that would be painful.
I don't, but I was surprised to find that many of my friends did. Please try and find some other way to "let it all out" you deserve so much more and CAN overcome this!
I don't but I wish you the best of luck...my prayers are with you even though I am not a sacrilegious person
dude your weird theres no reason to physco
No I don't, but I know people that have. It's an odd addiction but for some its the only way. You are not alone. BUT you need to work on finding a way to stop. Find something else to devote your time. Go to hardcore shows and get in the pit. Play an aggressive sport. Or do the opposite and do calming techniques. Meditation. Reading books. Cardio. All of those are great and releasing pent up emotions. There is no need to wallow in saddness when there is so much love and beauty in this world around you. Take a walk around outside or go to a local park and look at the trees, the sky, the world. It's beautiful. Just as we all are. That's why we shouldn't harm it.
Remember those scars are forever and your crying out for attention. If you really wanted to kill yourself you would do it the correct way and end it all. That means you still want to live and there is still hope for you.
No but it has been on my mind in the past & so I do understand this feeling... as I see it its trying to release the pain you have inside.
Youre def' not alone Im sure of that....if u want to talk u can e-mail me I'll promise just to listen & possibly try to suggest ways of getting some help....
you're not alone, i promise.
I do not cut. However keep in mind that there are other forms of self harm that people engage in. such as overdosing. You are not alone . If you would like a terrific place to turn to go to safe haven. You will not feel alone anymore.
i cut even though everyone wants me to stop. just be careful if you're cutting that you clean the wound and don't cut to the point where you need stitches.
I actually do cut. I haven't for a while, but I started at the beginning of December and I have been cutting just off and on since then. I also have an abusive family life. I will not go into detail, but I do understand what you are feeling. I go to group therapy every Wednesday, and it doesn't seem like it does much, but I guess it puts everything into a different light.
The cuts are forever, as someone mentioned earlier. But they also remind us of the pain we felt, and in a way, help us cope. By cutting and letting that blood be released, we seem to make that pain as real on the outside as it is on the inside.
I have really supportive friends that talk me through it and urge me to stop. Whenever I need an ear, they're there for me. Whether its an IM, text, call, email, or in person chat, they try their best to help me and make me stop. They haven't turned against me because I cut. And none of us are quote on quote "emo" or anything. We're just normal, and we stick out for each other.
That's what everyone needs.
Even though it seems like it won't get better, it will with time. It isn't easy, the entire cutting business, but I do truly understand.
I don't cut, I pinch and pluck. It's obsessive. I squeeze parts of my skin just to see if anything comes out. Most of the time nothing happens so I don't stop until something does come out (blood). It's really bad when it comes to pimples. I pick at my face all day, just to make sure there's nothing there. I don't even look in the mirror.
I'm sure it's indicative of something "deeper" as the shrinks would say, but I'm not hurtning anything but my skin. In reality I'm the only one who notices that I do it, and I'm the only one that would ever suffer from it, so I'm not motivated to stop!
yeah i do but no one knows and im telling u cuz i know ill never see ya if u wanna talk u can e-mail me babygirl12200571@yahoo.com
yes, I did have not for 10 1/2 weeks
Honey, don't worry, you're not alone, I promise!
I used to... but I don't anymore and I know how hard it is to say. Apart from online, I've only ever told two of my closest friends. And they didn't really know how to help. I kind of wish I never told them because sometimes it can be awkward, but at the time it was definately the best thing for me to do.
The one thing that helped me the most was talking about it, not in the real world, but (as stupid as this sounds) through emails and chatrooms with people I met online. Sometimes you don't really know exactly what you want to ask, but you know you just have to... let it out. I think most people who cut feel like this at some point.
It's especially hard with the whole "emo" thing going round, and it makes it even harder to tell anyone, because you're always scared of being labelled an emo. I don't know if this helps at all, but I know loads of people who cut. I think it's a pretty common way of letting out stress.
So please don't worry too much. I know everyone's always like "You have to stop now!", but, for me anyway, you kind of get to a point where you feel able to stop, and it gets better from there.
Remember you can alwys email me if you want!
Good luck

i don't tell many people this but you are not alone i cut for many years from 12 to 19 to be exact. i did it b/c i felt like i neede to be punished or to let all the hurt anger and frustration out. since i was in so much pain inside i cut to feel it on the outside to realise that it was real. i have since stopped with a relapse maybe once a yr or so i've been hospitalized in the last and it helped a bit. i would say find yourself a good supportive friend who you can talk to or go to and if possible see a therapist and maybe get some antidepressants. but i'm not giving a lecture b/c i know how hard it is to stop but no you are not alone many girls especially do it but it's a disease that no one talks about.
i tried it, but it didn't solve my problems. i figured, i'd be better off not getting into an addiction, so i made myself stop. im not going to lecture you, but try the same.
i don't cut..
Yes, unfortunately i do, but i am trying to quit. dont ever think that you are alone. i think there is abougt 5% of the population that hurt themselves intentionally. its just that alot of ppl dont know about us.
yea am 16 and started @ 14 and i do it off and on when am trying to stop i cant ur not alone email if u need to talk
