I might kind of be a cutter.
Alright. So i think i might sort of have a problem. A while ago (this year though) I started kind of cutting myself, but i didnt think of it as cutting. I didnt actually use a knife so i didnt think it was cutting. I just scratched my self w/ something sort of sharp, until i started bleeding. I did it twice the first time, and then the next time three smaller ones, and then the third time one small & one normal one. But their on my arm where a cutter would cut. And i think people think i'm trying to look like i cut, so i havent yet, and even though i'm not planning on doing it again, if i do i'm just gonna do it on my ankles.. But is that really considering cutting anyways? i mean its not like w/ a knife. When i told one of my like good guy friends about it i was bawling, i felt like a disappointment to him (hes sort of like a brother) and i didnt know what to do, i felt like it was a mistake to tell him But he said its better then lying to him. now we like barly talk & our relationship has started to become distant, but i dont know if its all for that reason. i feel stupid for doing it & i feel like the few people that know, judge me because of it. it really is stupid and i know it, and i really dont even know why i do it. Its not like i do it b/c i cant control my anger, but it does help, like instead of freaking out its easier for me to just do this, and then as i do it i think about what happens. But now i have scars, and seriously i'm embarrassed by them. A few people can tell that i cut myself, other people like my sister fool around & like joke & say that it looks like i did, but i just say that i like fell into a fence, and stupid stuff like that. PLEASE HELP ME. i seriously dont know what to do.

Ok so yes it is called cutting when you do it with anything sharp because its still cutting skin. people might say your just wanting attention and that might not be the case at all. I know exactly how you feel because i did it for 2 years without thinking. only my friends helped me out to get through it. you need to tell your friend that if he is going to be more and more distant its gonna make you wanna do it again because you need him now and its time for a friend to help you... im not saying you need to see a councler or stuff like that you just need a friend to talk to about it

it is concidered that i used to no matter what its still cutting just explain to your friend you didnt mean to dissapoint him and i highly recommend you dont tell many people that you did because stuff like that spreads VERY fast && people can and will make fun of you for no reason.. it happened to me ♥

Who cares if it's considered cutting or not? Either way you are harming yourself. So, either you have a miserable existence and for some reason want to harm yourself, or you are pretending to be like that for the attention. If it's the first, get help immediently. Try to be strong and positive. Look for the happiness in your life...talk to people about how you are feeling! If it's the second, get a life! Either way, you should tell your friends the truth. Good luck!

Thats still hurting yourself, so it may not be considered "cutting" to that harsh extent. But its still you hurting so bad that you think you have no other options but to someway torture yourself. I mean if you consider cutting or scratching yourself anytime soon, get help. Talk to a counsular, I know that sounds silly and maybe out of the question, but I talk to a cousnular and I get great advice and just sometimes to vent about things that are bothering me. If you need to talk to someone though and cant afford to see a counsular you can IM me @ kaylehMae on aim. :)

I understand your pain, because I had a friend that used to cut, and yes what you are doing is cutting. To hide your scars I suggest using Physicians Formula Magic Cube Concealer in Yellow, because the color yellow hides things such as scars, bruises, birth marks, etc. You can buy this at your local Walgreens or Jewel.
