Does anyone else here cut themself?


Question:
Have you ever told anyone? How did you tell them, and how did they react? And how old are you?

Answers:
I had a girlfriend once that would cut. I couldn't even stop her by force her need was so great. We did go to counseling for her and it helped a lot. The root of the problem was discovered to be that she had been molested/raped by her father at a very young age.

Seek the counseling. Whatever is inside causing you to feel you need to punish yourself needs to be dealt with.

"cutting" is a form of self-punishment. u feel u did something wrong and need 2 b punished 4 it. yes, i no from experience. my family came in on me while i was bleeding--they freaked out!!then they called 911. i now am glad they did. i still do, but very rarely. i guess u really don't ever get over it, or may i just have weak will power, i got counseling it does really help. ck my profile for info on me.
No, no, no, and what? I only poke holes in my arm, that's all I do.
im in my mid forties. started when i was in my 20s. stpped about 8 years ago after years of therapy. had a lot to do with letting out pain and keeping in secrets.

it was easier because i was already in therapy so i had someone safe to tell. if it doesnt feel safe to tell your parents go and talk to your doctor. this is a growing epidemic amoung teenagers. get some help. you deserve it.
i am 15.
i stopped cutting last year because i got sent to an institution.
seriously.
please stop.
it helps everyone.
and yes i am trying to scare you out of it, because i wish that's what someone would have done to me
I cut. I'm 13. I told someone I met online who also cuts and she's now kinda like my penpal I guess. She's also the reason I'm still alive. But my mom found out on her own last december when she found a bloody razor in my room. She freaked, cried, hugged me, forced me to tell her why, made my take of my clothes and spin around in a circle so she could see everything I've done. Then she gave me a week to stop. (yea right!) so now she's in denial and thinks I've stopped for good. My advice is tell someone before they find out on their own. You can email me if you wanna talk. I check it like 5 times a day. sasabrim@yahoo.com
i did once when i was 16, my sis found out in the bathroom but promised not to say anything, than the incident repeated itself again a few months ago, now i'm 21, and my bf found out he freaked out and called every hotline out there, he even called some crisis intervention that goes to ppl house. i had to promise to with him to the psychiartric hops in order for him to call them and them not to come, after that they discovered i was bipolar and i've been put on meds and i'm no therapy, i don't even think about it when i do it. it just happens, and it was becoming addicting. my parents eventually found out and they still don't understand. but i hope everything fixes itself. trust me its better when someone finds out even tho its the scariest thing that can happen, good luck
Crazy, that's not totally true. I have a cousin who used to cut himself for RELIEF.

On topic: No I've never cut myself and even though I've thought about it I probably would never do it, EVER.
No, most of us are normal
