i live a generally good, happy life. i have a supportive family, good friends, amazing boyfriend, good grades, etc. but whenever i get upset or mad over stupid little stuff [mostly when i argue with my mom or boyfriend], lately ive been thinking about cutting myself. i am NOT suicidal i never ever have been not EVEN close i can not even begin to imagine cutting to try to kill myself i have my future planned out and want to live a full happy life, so id never cut my wrist or anything. if anything id more than likely cut like the top of my forearm or my thigh, jus so i could feel it but not have any serious risks. i dont what the heck brought this on because its only lately ive been thinking about it. im not one of these who looks happy on the outside but on the inside has problems and is depressed i am honestly a happy person but its just when little things get me down i have that crazy thought. should i be worried? id be scared to death to try to cut my wrists honestly id never ever do it so even if i did start i wouldnt get to that point. but i just dont get why im thinking like this?? please dont say therapy.
christina answered Friday January 26 2007, 9:16 am: I don't recommend to think about cutting, or to ever try it. It's insane & highly addicting. It's also very hard to stop.
I'm not gonna tell you to get therapy, but you should talk to someone about it. Nobody on here can help you stop these thoughts, because nobody here is qualified to. If you want though, you could always IM me if you wanted to talk, just leave your sn in my inbox!
Whenever you start to have these thoughts, listen to music or write. Those two things always helped me. Or sleep. Cry even. It helps.
Cutting never solves anything. Trust me, because I know from experience. I haven't cut in months, and it's the best feeling ever to not pick up that razor. All cutting does is make you concentrate on the physical pain instead of the emotional. But when it's all said & done, your problems are still there. So, I don't suggest cutting, or even thinking about it. Try to vent your emotions/problems healthily through music, writing, sleeping or crying.
xlittlebell420 answered Friday January 26 2007, 8:55 am: i know you said not to say this but i honestly think you should talkt o someone about this because no matter if you think it or not this could get to be pretty serious, and you dont necessarily need therapy you could just talk to your boyfriend about it and ask him to help you stop wanting to. i mean im an angry person when i get into arguments and stuff too but generally im also a happy person and i would never thin of doing that anf i dont think that anyone else would either, but i dont really think that you should start doing that, its not a good idea, AT ALL. i hope i helped =] [ xlittlebell420's advice column | Ask xlittlebell420 A Question ]
