cutting


Question Posted Monday October 11 2004, 7:37 pm

Ok i only want answers from someone who cuts/ used to cut. Why do you do it? I cut so often and I'm really depressed and it just makes me feel so good. But what specifically for you was it that made you want to cut? I think getting ideas from others would help me. Thank you.

Hey fellow cutter! I've not been a cutter for years and years or anything but I still do it. There are many reasons I do it too. Sometimes I just feel so alone. Hell, even the smallest things make me want to cry. It's so ridiculous sometimes but I really enjoy the rush it gives you. At first, I began cutting because my brother had a baby and it seemed like nothing I could ever do was right but now I do it because 1)im addicted, 2)it feels so right, and 3)it feels like my only release. I honestly dont know what else to do besides cut. It's jsut how I vent and stuff. Or sometimes I feel so worthless I sit in my room and cry and bleed and just hate myself so much. One of my friends suggested praying but it hasn't really helped me. Maybe I just need to try harder or something but yeah.. it's pretty much the only way I know to use to solve my problems. I hope this is what you were looking for or something. Anyways, good luck getting responses! ~Brit

i cut because it hurts... when im cutting thats all im thinking about is that it hurts and not about why im doing it... it just seemed to make the pain go away... im 14 years old and in 8th grade ive been doing it since the begining of 8th grade or since i was 12..... what made me wanna cut was probably just life in general... my parents fight a lot and i really had no one to talk to... my friends werent much help to me.... i still cut often... im not sure how you can just stop... but yeah

hi..i kno what cutting is like.i used to do it and im only 13..i quit about 1 month or so ago..and its not worth you..you need to find someone that makes you happy..when you go to cut..think of somethin that makes you really happy and think of all the reasons you shouldnt do it. i hope this advice helps becuz it helped me stop..so if you need anything..im here.. i used to do it becuz i was really depressed and my bf kinda treated me like shit.i'd try to talk to him about it..but it just seemed like he never listened..he told some of his friends.who are my friends..and they laughed and some of them dont talk to me anymore..so thats why i did it..i just could never be happy and i never thought i was pretty or anything..but then when i went to cut myself..i thought why should i? my life is barely beginning and who knows what opportunities i will have? so when you go to cut..stop..your life is too short to cut yourself

Well, when I first started cutting it was over a boy [stupid, I know]. Then as time went on I started cutting when I argued with someone [friends, family, etc].. sometimes I would just cut because it felt good. It was like I was getting rid of all my secrets and stuff when I cut. I don't know. I don't cut much anymore.. I do it occasionally when I'm upset, but other than that.. I don't. Hopefully I helped you in someway. =]

Ok. I've cut before because I always thought I was fat or ugly. I was doing bad in school, my friends were making fun of me because I messed up the homecoming dance in cheerleading, and my (then) boyfriend had dumped me. I dunno why I did it, back then it just seemed so NORMAL. But I wasn't eating right either. I went from 95 pounds to 83 pounds. I knew I wasn't healthy but I still did it anyway. Then my mom started noticing how I lost weight and how all my clothes used to be just right, now they were falling off almost. She asked me what was wrong and I told her. After that my mom insisted I go to a therapist and I went to a school counseler (sp?). I never cut again. With my mom listening to my problems and the counseler (sp?) helping me, I had no use to cut. Just don't cut anymore. It's the worst thing you can do. It's just like running away from your fears or worse because you're hurting yourself over it. Tell your mom or a person you really trust. They'll start listening to you and you'll feel more WANTED. Do anything, but DON'T CUT YOURSELF ANYMORE! Hope I helped. !~*Steph*~!

krissygirl answered Monday October 11 2004, 8:24 pm:
first of all why are you cutting is the question? You should ask yourself the question you are asking people on this website. Girls these days critsize themselves too much, they are always putting themselves down...you know theres always some reason to feel not good enough. Why are you so depressed? There isnt much that people can write to help you...i am doing the best i can but the solution to your problem is in your own hands and mind. If you want to get better you can. I tried to cut myelf once because i thought my life was the worst life in the world....i thought if i did cut it owuld make me feel better but truthfully it just caused me more problems and i finally realized that there are so many other people out there who have it worse then me...i am a popular girl in my school...i dont even know why i tried to cut but i do know that when my friends foundout they all were worried about me....so just dont go to far cuz if you ever get to the cut where you go just a little too deep...it wont only change your life forever but it will change the people around you who loved you lives forever. YOu onyl live once...why make it a bad one...its never to late to turn thibngs around...god helps those who help themselves....and if you start to help yourself believe me god will be there for you the rest of the way...good luck!
