I used to cut. Not going to go into details, I used to cut and once I thought I went too deep. I've since realized how stupid and dangerous I was being. However, fo whatever reason, I feel the need to do so again. I don't want to, but I'm tempted and I don't know why. Can anyone please help? Please, no jack asses sayin crap about me bein a stupid "emo" and no bad mouthing me just because of something I used to do
fatalxheart answered Monday August 8 2005, 8:57 pm: I used to cut too. It's a really hard thing to get over. I had to go to therapy to get over it. So you might need to go to a therapist. You don't even need to tell them about your cutting, just talk about your depression. (I'm guessing you have depression).
But try snapping a rubberband to your wrist when you want to cut. Worked for me.
Good luck.

NiCO0OLE answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:39 pm: honestly if you know you shouldnt cut then why do it? ..i understand that you feel the need too but there are other ways to deal with things.. although no one really likes seeing a psychiatrist maybe it would be a good idea to try it especially if you start cutting again.. its bad for you and you will only feel bad about doing it after you realize you shouldnt have.. good luck with everything [ NiCO0OLE's advice column | Ask NiCO0OLE A Question ]
Azngangsta answered Monday August 8 2005, 3:29 am: I fell really bad for people who cut. I really feel bad about people younger than me that cuts (I'm 17) Even my younger sister has friends who cuts (she's 13). So I really want to help. I've been wondering why people do cut. I have a theory that people cut to relieve stress. Just remember, cutting doesn't solve anything, and it only causes more problems. I have a theory. You may be tempted because your subconscious may think that this is the only way to relive stress.
However, if cutting is a way to "relieve stress" I have a few suggestioins for alternative ways to relive that stress or anger. Don't repress it. That could lead to problems also. You should find something soft to punch (like a kickbag or a pillow.) That could relive a lost of your anger. If you want to relive sorrow, you could paint, draw, or write music to express your feelings. This could help take your mind off of things and turn you emotion into something creative.
I answered this the best I could. So good luck, and if you have anymore questions, visit my column or drop me an e-mail.

Blair answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:48 am: I had a friend that cut a few years back and I don't know if this aplies to you but for her, she was using it as an outlet for her feelings she didn't have to deal with things when she cut, she was letting it all out physically. So I would say that you jsut need someone to talk to, a confidant, someone you can trust. Just tell this person things that upset you, get your emotions out.
runz_with_scizzorz answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:44 am: I think that you need to vent, if you know what I mean. What you need to do is write out all of the things that bother you on one sheet of paper. On another sheet of paper, write down all the things that bother you again, then write how you can make that certain thing better. THEN on ANOTHER sheet of paper (always keep this one with you and leave the other two at home), write down everything ONCE MORE. Then, beside or under it, write how you've made it better (when you do). OR, if you don't want to do all that (but i recomend) just start a journal and let it all out. If you have any more ?s, IM me at beecuzzimcooool or send me an email at skillit@triad.rr.com. OR you can just Inbox me.
shake answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:44 am: You're weak. You'll probably cut again. If you were weak enough to do it once, and you're near that now, its going to happen again.
esbeautiful1313 answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:41 am: I know a trick that people use sometimes. Put a rubberband or ponytail holder around your wrist, and everytime you feel the need to cut yourself, snap the rubberband on your wrist instead. I have heard it helps...try that to fight the urge! I hope this helps, and please try not to cut yourself...it is dangerous & hurts your body! PLease be safe & good luck! [ esbeautiful1313's advice column | Ask esbeautiful1313 A Question ]
