cutting? idk...


Question Posted Saturday August 21 2004, 12:38 am

ok, well i cut. and i dont want to hear the "oh dont do that! blah blah blah" im really trying to stop and i dont need anyone to be pressuring me right now. but anyways..i usually cut on my shoulders so no one can see and so that i dont kill myself. but the other day i cut my wrist. and i mean, i wanted to, but i didnt want it to bleed...and i didnt even push hard. i just ran it slightly across the skin. and it just started bleeding. im fine and everything, but is that normal? like is the skin just really delicate there or something?

yess the skin there is VERY delicate, nd the vein there is like RIGHT underneath it.
At least your trying to stop...sorry for whatever is going on in your life that makes you want to do that. Hopefully soon you'll get over the urge to want to cut. but if you REALLY want to stop, and your trying really hard but cant & dont want to tell your parents, then just tell a friend, and most likely they will care about you enough to tell your parents so you dont have to.

Wow...my name is anna(15), i've been a cutter since i was 13 years old. My sister used to cut her sholders too, she also said that it wasn't so noticable. But anyways, cutting on the wrists is a very serious problem, please don't start it. Its so addicting. You really should find a different way to deal with stress. Trust me i've been there its not fun. I haven't cut in a month, i know it seems like nothing. Buts for me, it's awesome! I wear rubber bands and hair thingys on my hands and flick them anytime i fell stress, beats cutting. You should stay away from the wrists the skin is very thin there, you can just make a little cut and cut your veins and lose a lot of blood. Stay away from the wrists! It's not safe at all. Hope i helped. If you ever need to talk, i'm here. I've been through. Rate me?

cutie_babee answered Saturday August 21 2004, 3:44 am:
well it's normal for you to bleed around the wrist considering it is a deadly place to cut yourself...and I know I've been told that by my doctor three times and I still do it but a little higher...you probably cut one of those small blood vesels and they bled it's nothing don't worry just watch how you cut...don't go in to deep stay on top and I know what your going through...well maybe almost not 100% but i cut myself as well and only aroudn the wrist at first my intensions were I wanted to kill myself now it'sjust because I don't feel it ne more

hope I helped

sweetjesska182 answered Saturday August 21 2004, 1:10 am:
sometimes it doesnt take that much to break the skin ..espcially right there. Because ive been a cutter and sometimes id just get carried away and wuldnt even know it. Even tho its really not a healthy way to take out stress no one can make u change its up to u if u want to do that to ureself but if u ever cut a vein u need to get medical help IMMEDIATELY ..
always here, jessy

YOU WANT TO CUT BUT DONT WANT YOURSELF TO DIE??!.. THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE STUPIDEST THINGS IVE EVER READ.... CUTTING WILL CAUSE SCARS, SCARS THAT WILL STAY WITH YOU FOREVER&WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THEM YEARS FROM NOW YOULL JUST THINK OF HOW UPSET YOU WERE THAT DAY&YOUR DEPRESSION, OR W.E THE REASON IS YOU CUT WILL NEVER GO AWAY....

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOUR SKIN IS PROBABLY JUST MORE SENSITVE THAN OTHERS, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE YOUR BODY NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH SKIN CELLS BECAUSE OF THE CUTTING...

mshonest4eva answered Saturday August 21 2004, 1:01 am:
No, it isnt usually. I kno, because i used to cut. I dont do it any more, and i srill have problems. If you dont stop, you may get random cuts. I do. I wake up with cits and bruises in the mornig, they fade, but new ones resurface everyday. Go to a doctor and tell him that your skin has been getting thinner. If you keep cutting, then youll only have so much left cause itll be real hard for your body to keep making skin.

Keep me posted with anything else that happens!! XoxO ALissa-marie

xlostangelx answered Saturday August 21 2004, 12:52 am:
yes the skin is VERY delicate on your wrists and VERY thin and there are soo many veins there that i dont even wana begin to explain. and even on your shoulders its thin..cutting is a very unhealthy thing to do in the first place bc you can die by cutting any where on your body and you can get very sick and it also can be very embarrasing if somebody sees the scars!!

if you want to stop cutting, heres some sites you can visit:

XxLyssaBearxX answered Saturday August 21 2004, 12:51 am:
yea it prob. is normal..u usually don't have much skin there. u'd be better off cutting ur shoulder. not saying u should though. but if u cut ur wrist u may hit a vain too and then u would bleed to death and that wouldn't be kewl. so juss cut bak on cutting urself.

soljette answered Saturday August 21 2004, 12:46 am:
i used to cut, and i guess it is easier to cut through the skin at the wrist. sometimes when i do it lightly, itd bleed.. so yeah.. i guess its normal.

and since you dont want me to say "dont do that, blah blah blah," i wont.. cause i guess i understand..
