I started cutting when I was 13, also [I'm 14, now]. Um, I think you might feel "so great" after you cut is because you feel like your getting rid of something. Your getting rid of the bad things that happend and your getting rid of secrets and stuff. I don't know. That's why I feel good after I cut. Hope I helped. =]

there's these online journal websites, like www.livejournal.com that have communities that you can join. There's communities on everything you can imagine, including cutting

Cutting/Self Injury is widely regarded as a coping mechanism, and in the short temr at least, is does relieve stress, amking you feel better. Some people also believe that it causes a release of adrenhalin, giving you a "rush" or temporary high.

Cutting does not help. Its all in your mind, you are leading yourself to believe that physical pain takes away emmotional pain when really you are just committing suicide over a long period of time. If you ever try to go near a knife or sharp object again, just stop yourself, tell yourself that it will ruin your life, because it will. It you believe it isn;'t going to help you, it won't help you. Talk to your parents tell them to hidfe knifes and stuff, give them yours so they can hide them. Or you can talk to a guidence conselor or phyciatrice and see if they can help. Goodluck!!

well the main reason anyone cuts is becouse caouseing phiscal pain tajes a lot away from the emotional pain. thats y it feels so good. ur not thinkin about what happend to u, ur thinkin bout the cut and tha pain thats caousing. its liek all the anger and pain and everything uv been holding in bubbles up to tha top w/ tha blood. i kno how u feel cuz a lot of ma friends r cutters and im one myslef. im sure theres atleast one other person at ur school thats a cutter as well. and igf not then im sure u can go to liek google or something and theyll tell u bout other cutters and things that can help u. there r lots of hospitals and physicatric centers that have ppl that specialize in that sort of thing. well i hope i helped at least a lil....

Well maybe it feels good because you have done it so much. Do you know why you do it? Well i do not no anyone who cuts themselves. Have you ever tried to talk to anyone about it? Well mabe it will help you and to help you stop. And if u want to stop maybe then you should ask someone to hide all the things that you are able to cut yourselfe with.

Everyone has already hit good points with what they've said. However, something that hasn't been mentioned is that cutting is a physical addiction. Or at least it becomes one after you've started. The reason you feel better after you cut is actually more likely physical than mental. When you cut, you're body has a wound. In order to heal it your body starts producing more adrenaline and endorphines, much like when you excercise. Endorphines, are basically you're body's own happy pill. And while it won't completely earase the negative feelings that prompted you to cut, it will certainly deafen them some.

is a great place to look for information on cutting, on cutters, and on alternatives. Also, as was mentioned, if you are a livejournal or xanga member you can easily find a forum or blog with people in the same predicament as you. If you don't have one of these online journals, I recommend starting one or your own personal journal as writing out your feelings can be cathartic in much the same way as cutting.
www.xanga.com and www.livejournal.com
I have both if you want to talk. My addresses are www.xanga.com/operationsavestheday and www.livejournal.com/users/crimeXinXitaly

i have cut in the past. and i'd be happy to help you stop if you'd like. my sn's blinkbabe2469. feel free to im me any time. but you feel good after it because its like you forget about why you cut and you just concentrate on the fact that you've cut. i used to love to watch myself bleed. i haven't done it in a couple months. so i'd be happy to help you stop. hope i helped.

yeah, i used to cut as well. for about.. 4 years or so. i dont anymore.. but yeah, it did feel good after i cut. i guess its a mental thing, the pain inside of you goes away from the pain you cause when you cut.

I used to be in the exact position that you are currently in. I understand the feeling you get, and only a cutter knows what its like. No one can tell you what to do, actually I think if some one were to tell you to stop, it'd make you want to do it even more. You should try to figure out the source of the pain that is making you want to hurt yourself. That will explain so much to you. Maybe next time you feel the need to cut yourself, hit a pillow, or chew gum, or something to distract yourself from the intense feeling. If you need to talk more you can go to my site. I hope this helped you!

Hmmm...you feel so great because that's seriously the concept of cutting. You're having all this emotional pain...and then once you bring it out in the open...it doesn't feel so bad anymore. It's THERE right there on your arm/leg/stomach...or where ever the hell you cut yourself. The same thing can be done by telling someone...or writing. I KNOW this sounds lame, but don't follow our emo generation. Seriously. Everyone has pain. And everyone deals with it in a different way. Don't bring harm on yourself because you feel pain that the rest of the world has to deal with on a daily basis. That's stupid. :D But you can find other cutters...alot of different places. I tend to think the "open ones" the ones that you can find do it for attention. You can find them on LJ communities...blurty communities...just about anywhere. Good luck. And really think about trying to express your emotion in some other form but self injury. It isn't "cool" don't let anyone tell you differently.

All right. From what I've heard, a lot of people cut themselves because they feel bad about themselves and the pain helps somehow. What you need to do to stop is fill your life with positive activities that make you feel good about yourself - without the cutting. Try dancing around in your room with loud music - it's a fun feel-good activity. You should also talk to your mom or dad, your school guidance counselor, a trusted teacher or a psychologist about your problem - they know all sorts of ways to make you feel better.
I don't know about where you could find other people with the same issue, but LiveJournal ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) might be a good place to start - there are loads of communities dedicated to almost everything.

Well im sure u know cutting is bad .. probably heard it a million times. If you cut because someone emotionally hurt you or your feelings were hurt somehow then I think I might know why cut. This girl from the real world hurt herself and this is how she explained it. When your feelings are hurt you cant really explain it but when you're cut you can say my arm hurts right here. I dont really get it. but it mite help you. Or you might be punishing yourself for something.. In that case I don't know why. Good luck hun sorry if I couldnt help u much but please try to quit.

okay i have friends who cut and it makes them feel better too..but its all in your head you can make it better without cutting..just ask your parents to take the knifes and everything away..it helped my friend..good luck!
