Help
I am not a cutter but I have cut myself. Only a few times im not addicted. i have self-injured myself as well. My one best friend knows because she used to and i felt very comfortable telling her. my other best friend used to as well and im going to tell her too. she goes to my school though shes older but she will be able to help me even more. im kind of preppy and usually outgoing and happy. dont think im like an 'emo' or w/e. i want to know why i should stop because I know it isnt good but it helps me and just because its different doesnt neccasarily mean its bad-does it?
i know hurting myself isnt the right way too but i never cut deep or a lot and i don't self injury myself any more than mildly. its how i deal with stress and being upset. sumtimes i write but other times i dont have time to sit there and write i need immediate relief. thats what i think of it as-relief. quick, easy, relief. and it helps. i want to stop but in another way actually i dont.
im afraid to tell my bf because i dont want him to think something is wrong with me even tho he works at a teen youth center helping kids with addictions. he still might not want to date me-just be friends.
i have a lot im dealing with and thats just the way i do. my parents dont know either and they would freak if they knew. it isnt on my arms i have a couple on my stomach and a couple on my leg. 2 on my arm but you cant tell they were intentional cuts. i like seeing them and knowing that they represent what im dealing with. it comforts me. any suggestions or advice? i want to know why its bad and what else to do thats quick and easy. it feels like it isnt bad and doesnt really hurt me. it doesnt endanger me so why worry? i guess thats what i think. i at first (i just started last week anyway) i thought of myself as a 'cutter' but now im almost ok with it and just think of myself as a girl dealing with her emotion and problems in her own way.
Thanks so much!

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
okay welll at least you know what your doing can really hurt some people. its still not good to take your stress and cut yourself, you need to try and find other ways to deall with it. like for me i like hate needles and stuff like that so i could never cut myself but i thnk for the most part people try it a few times in their life. try downloading some music like ocean waves, birds chirping, etc relaxing music and when you are going to cut yourself just try and listen to that and take deep breaths maybe try yoga, you can find it on the internet, just anything that wont hurt yourself.

that seriously sounds like i wrote that whole thing. i know exactly what you're talking about. i did and i still do sometimes. my parents found out and took me right to a psyciatrist, i felt like a psyco, and i didn't want to be there. but later on, i felt that it helped me stop myself. you said you don't do this that much, but writing, or finding some way to vent would probably help.
or even just getting away from eveyone and going running or something t keep your mind off of it.
i don't have much advice for you and i'm sorry about that, but i feel like i'm going through what you are too, and i open to talk about anything if you ever need someone.

They represent what you are dealing with?
Doesn t seem like you are dealing with something.
It just seems you are doing the cool new thing to do.
You hang around girls who cut themselves, who are probably emo or think they need to see a shrink cause they are feeling down.
Well gongratulations, you are intentionally screwing uo your life cause it's a fag.Go for it. See how your body will look like in 10 years with a collection of 200 cuts. You wont be feeling proud then, now will you?
Dealing with what?You tell me what a 14 year old is dealing with?
Bad grades in school, divorce, did your doggy pass away?Even worst...abusive parents?Thats how you deal with it? Your father beats you up and you cut yourself.
I got my degree and PHD after so much hard work and I ended up working at McDonalds, I am poor as hell. I grew up thinking I d be a rockstar and I am finding out that no, I wont be. I wont even be able to afford a new car ever.Should I cut myself?Thats how I deal with it?
Just be smart, and be strong. Get yourself a real life away from new trends and discover yourself and what you like to do.Get yourself a hobby and be good at something.
