hey cutting isn't the answer like i told somebody else find a different solution to your pain. Find something that comforts you but helps relieve your pain. So maybe you can cut something else because cutting urself is gonna make you regret it sooner or later.

ok this might really sound stupid but anyway yeah i use to cut myself too it felt like when i got mad thats what i could rely on to make me feel better then i started going to see someone to talk about it like a doctor person and after a few months of that i didnt want to go anymore but still wanted to cut myself my bf started getting pissed and saying that me doing that would be like cheating on him and not to do it (he just said that so i wouldnt) so after that i could do it anymore so i got this paper back book and completly wrapped it with ductape and now when i need to take my anger out i just cut the book up like i would do with my wrist doing that has stoped me from cutting myself. i really hope i helped.

really stop doing this. one day you could bleed so much that you die, and none of us want that. i'm sure that tons of people care about you and would hate to know about this. i know how it feels to be really upset, but hurting youself wont help. i know this sounds corny but really talk to the counseler at your school. they might be able to help you. but really if you need anymore help, feel free to ask me.

STOP IT! you can die from cutting yourself and if you just look at all the great enjoyable things in life then its worth not cutting and trust me on that one, when you have that random feeling snap your self with a rubberband its what we had one of my best friends in the world do and now she is alot better and if it helps just start really focusing on one subject and then when you get better at it move up to two subjects and so on so forth, and bout the family just hang in your room and try to push past all the tention well hoped it really helped

I won't make fun of you, I would never do that, me and some of my friends are going throught the same problems. Cutting, after a while can literally become addicting. You release enzymes every time you cut, and those enzymes become addicting. Its hard to explain, but thats the honest truth. I encourage you to turn all your negative feelings into something beautiful, like poetry or music, or art. Continue to talk with your friends to get things off of your chest. I'm one of the most clammed up people in the world, I have a hard time talking about my feelings, but when I do, I feel a bit better. Just find someone who will listen, and won't judge you, someone your comfortable with to talk to. You can always email me, (I'm having a helluva time IMing people). I appluad the fact that you have already taken steps to help your self, please, continue down that road.
MAd Love,
Victoria

oh sweetie! sry I'm a little late answering this question..computer problems. Alright I'm assuming you're in your teens or around there, and everyone around this time feels the same way you do! EVERYONE! I promise you that! It's just how someone takes it out. You're practicing an unhealthy way to do it. Everyone has problems in their life and all the problems u just mentioned are exactly my problems (amazing isnt it? lol) anyways try to think good about yourself. It's all in your head if you think everything is bad everything will be and feel bad. You have to change your mind and start thinking about good thoughts. Like if your grades are bad just think I'll try harder and I'll be able to bring them up. secondly, try taking your anger, sadness out in a different way, cut up stuffed animals write songs listen to music watch movies, write suff down, anything but cutting. Always wear a rubberband around your wrist and when you feel the urge to cut just snap it as hard as you can. I hope this helps, if you need anything else drop one in my inbox, remember everything will eventually get better! ;)

Cuz talking to them only makes you guys' relationship stronger but you'll also get better!! Im sorri that you are having this prob. A few of my friends have this prob. And you are right thats not the way to handle things so please hurry up and take care of yourself!! take care sweetie! -trix

dinoold answered Thursday December 9 2004, 1:31 pm:
why did you cut in the first place...what was the feeling behine it..see..something happened to make you pick it up..and something is keeping you doing it.

you have to one figure out what is making you do this..and what is making YOU still do it.

This is hard..your emotions are behind it.

can you please go see someone...you might jsut need to talk to a person..someone who is on YOUR side....

Pleasse...if you cannot quit todya..can you stope it one..cut a day??Until you are not doing it at all?

That would be messed up if someone picked on you. The best thing you can do is go to a counselor, in your school, he/she will keep everything confidential if you dont want your parents to know. Try looking up some websites bout treatments.

Dear confused and lost,
Don't feel alone - surprisingly there are a lot of people who are in exactly the same situation as you. One of the first steps is contacting someone - which is what you've done already - well done!! that wasn't too difficult was it? A lot of people in the same situation find it a real help talking to someone about it. I check my inbox a few times a day and would really like to hear your problems and help you if you are willin to share them with me. Tell me why your life is crap and I'll email you back asking more questions and giving you advice on what you can do to overcome your problems. I promise you it will get better. Daisy

rainbowcherrie answered Wednesday December 8 2004, 11:32 am:
I'm kinda in the same situation. Only the thing is, the deputy head teacher found out yesterday. Try to find other things you can do instead of cutting. If you like drawing, draw away your problems. If you like writing, then right down your feelings. Learn an instrument, sing, build a website, anything to take your mind off things. When you feel like you want to cut, find some really heavy rock music, turn it up to full volume and scream into a pillow, it really calms you down. If you really aren't ready to stop harming yourself, then do it in other, less dangerous ways. Keep an elastic band around your wrist and snap it to your skin instead of cutting. Or, get ice cubes and hold them really tight until it hurts.

Beccers_boo answered Wednesday December 8 2004, 1:58 am:
I know many people who are cutting or have cut in the past... and it is a very serious situation. I think the best way to stop is to first get ride of the sharp objects in yoru room or where ever you cut... then put hair bands around your wrists and every time you think fo cutting snap it tight.... not too tight tho... it will relive the strain without the risk... eventualy you will need to take off the rubber band and just carry it around... only you it is you have 2. I really hope i helped. Also if you need to you can go top your school conselor... they are now liable to tell anyone wut you do or say.. even your parents... they can help you as well.

hope i helped

PLEASE keep me updated

You really need to talk to someone, you really do- they can help you a lot. You don't even have to talk to people you know. But cutting is very serious and it is very scary how addictive it is. Talk to your school consellor about it or just some adult and instead of hurting yourself go out and do something about. I know how much of a comfit it is and the fact that it helps you escape from the present but its really really bad shit and you need to get out of it while you can.

Life is crap I know but thats no reason to hurt yourself, i know it hurts inside and you feel like it won't go away but IT WILL Talk to someone you trust about what you are going through, just a long talk. You don't even have to tell them about the cutting but you need to tell someone about your problems jsut a long talk to your friends or somehting. Something to release that overwhelming sadness- talk to me any time
