Cutting


Question Posted Tuesday December 28 2004, 2:19 pm

I cut. But not like most people. My arms aren't coverd nor my legs. I have scars on my thighs, ankles and wrist. I've recently taken to cuttin my shoulder. my parents know and found them. They know check every so often for blood or anything. they took all my pointy objects away but i still have a knife. they wont let me get cousling or anything because they think its bad for teens to go on meds. i cant go to my schoo counsler because-well if you knew him you wouldnt. Anyways, there are peole with bigger problems then me that need the help. my life is perfect. I have horses. i ride. i get w/e i want. Im spoiled. my parents r nice n everything unlike my friends who r abused/assulted. yet i always feel so depressed. like i cant pull myself out. i constantly cry and hide most of my feeling until i can hide to cut. i dont partically like people knowing but people find out n i dont like being known as a cutter. i get straight a's n im the good kid. least u use to be. now im this depressed, mean, cutter lil freshmen. this isnt who i wanna be. help. oh right..14 female.

Believe it or not, depression is an illness. Not one that will cause death or anything but not something you can talk yourself out of. Tell your parents that you really are being depressed. Be honest with them and tell them how you feel. Explain that you don't want this to go on anymore and that you would feel better if you had a professional to talk to (like a therapist). Hopefully they will understand as long as you make your point clear and express your feelings properly. I wish you the best of luck.

You should explain to your parents that you NEED consuling. Tell them you know your life is perfect and if your this depressed there must be something wrong. Say how this could effect your life if you don't because you may cut a little too deep. Leave one in my inbox if you need anymore help!

cutting is a hard habbit to get out of.you can seriously get hurt, even die. it's scary. there is obviously something missing in your life if u feel depressed. i kno every one is probably saying this but if u need help i'm always here.

My dear, your parents are in denial. You are begging for help, but they are too self-centered to let go of their own predudices about "seeking counceling" to give you what you need. I started Prozac in 11th grade and it saved my life. If I had started sooner, 7th grade when my depression started to show, some seriously bad things could have been avoided. I have a great life, loving family and pets. Yeah, I had some problems you don't, but the worst of my depression was caused by an inherited chemical imbalance. Not my everyday issues. Another part of my depression was the guilt of needing help when I had so much that others didn't. I felt like such a loser that I couldn't get myself back on track that I hid my condition as best I could until my mother found me sitting in the kitchen floor crying one night. I couldn't give her a reason, but my mom knew. She'd struggled with it herself and knew how to find help for me. I never cut, but cutting is an addiction like drinking and drugs and cigs. You'll do anything to try and find relief from the emptyness growing inside you. I'd like you to show this to your parents. I'm 31 and I understand that I would have been dead by 17 had my mother not discovered what I'd been trying to hide from her. You need help and you are asking for it. Your parents are being irresponcible and unintentionally cruel by keeping you from getting that help. I offer you my understanding and support. I wish I could just slap your parent's upside the head for their stupidity. Big Hug! GoodLuck!

Cutting isn't good, but it's a way to turn emotional pain into physical, and it makes it easier to deal. I used to cut, and still have the thoughts of doing so, but try not to. Just becaues you have the so called "perfect" life doesn't mean you're going to be happy. There are a lot of things that could cause you to be depressed.. and you should probably get some help. But, if your parents won't let you, then that could be a problem. Try to do something else other than cutting, try writing poetry or anything of the sort. [I probably suck at this advice stuff, but try something other than cutting.. and TALK about stuff to someone! find someone you can talk to about anything..]
