ive cutted before. Its a way to escape our problems thats what my conselor told me i was in Millwood for 2 weeks and was horriable havent cut in 2 months

Well, I've been cutting for the last two years, and to be honest, I lie about it. It embarasses me to no extent. I've told my best friend and boy friend that I quit cutting, but in realty I haven't. I am having toubles with it and have been attempting to quit over an succession of the last year, but I seem to keep resorting back to it. I don't find anything else that relieves the stress as well as that.

one time i was under alot of pressure and i ended up cutting myself
is pressure the cause?????
somone please email me with a reply atsean100394@aol.com

umm....i am a cutter and im sort of in the process of getting help...but even tho i know theres ppl i can tlk to i just dont know what to say to them..so i just write or listen to music since they seem most helpful.

i am a parent and 1st timer here. i have recently discovered that my 14 yr old daughter is cutting herself. she explains it by saying it is the only thing in her life she has control over. when she cuts herself and sees the blood she feels the pain and anger inside is "bleeding" out. she says if she doesn't cut herself she will kill herself. at 14 what kind of pain could she have that would be that bad? how could she be so lonly and feel so unloved? if anyone knows of a successful way to communicate with a person who is obviously void of any hope for happiness, please contact me. kingdaniell@juno.com. she has friends that do this also so i know she doesn't feel like she is the only one with this problem. what i don't think those of you that practice this cutting know is how much it hurts the people who love you. logic tells me that i played no active role in this situation. yet, as her father and someone that loves her more than life i blame myself. i would let her cut me if it would stop her pain. i feel that this can only be a symptom of depression. there is no other feeling except that of utter hopelessness and helplessness that would motivate an intellegent person to take a razor blade and cut the hurt out. if you know of anything that can help, please, please contanct me.

I agree with risk. let the poor thread die. NOW!

Would you just shut up and let this thread die?

To answer your question, yes....i went to treatment and therapy for it. I have been a cutter for ten years...i went through a couple years that i didn't do it at all. And i would just have friends try to help, i would always relapse about at most 6 months. But after a very dramatic relapse i checked myself into an in-patient facility. I was good for about 10 months, and i relapsed again. Now i am again struggling to keep my promise to not continue with this self-destructive pattern. It just seems that if i don't do it physically, i am just hurting myself emotionally. Does anyone feel that way when they try quitting?

Shut. Up. Now.

You know people,

I was a cutter, i tried to comitt suicide several times, Today i Accidently cut myself and that shit ain't good for someone who recovering i find Music is the best way to get rid of those thoughts.

To anyone who want's to listen,

If anyone needs any questions on cutting and wanna talk email me on ugeneration@optusnet.com

Soccergirl04,

tell me? Do you know what it's like to wake up and hate the world?
do you know if anything you should be helping your best friend no matter what?
you say live life like there was tomorrow, if we cutters feel dead inside how can we look toward the brighter side, most people who don't understand cutting can't really offer any advise.
Shane.

Hey Sam,
It ain't fair that you boyfriend moved, because you need someone during this time if your still cutting, wear a elastic band around your wrist if you feel the urge, wack it. Or hold ice cubes in your hands you feel the pain but it does no damage to you , after all cutting is usually only used because our emotions feel dead inside and we need to feel the pain, we need to feel alive. It sucks that you have to rely on strangers from the Internet but these people seem genuine so listen to there infomation.
Shane.

HOLY CRAP... This is your FIRST POST.. After almost TWO YEARS of being registered? That's so cray

hey, i know that things might kinda suck and that you want to cut to kinda take pain away, but i used to cut too....a lot. after saying that i havent cut for about five months. i feel so much better after talking to someone, i was sent to a psychiatrist by my parents, but i really would encourage you to talk to someone, anyone. if you want to even just vent that helps too...if you ever want to email or talk about it let me know. just talk about it and try to stop with the help of people that you truly trust.

Lmao.

Carpetrug, you need to shut your mouth. I have never been a cutter, but I know how good the endorphins can feel entering your body(Ive gotten hurt alot). I also know people that are or were cutters. Not a good thing to get into. Instead, put your head into a sink full of icewater. Dont die though. That wouldnt be good. Actually, you shouldnt do that. Just Sleep. Sleep is good.

m.ziemke, if you are still out there, find me.kathy ,you know this is for you. somebody out there knows,understands and loves YOU

dear mom,
as a cutter the first thing i need to make clear is as hard as it seems, as dumb as it sounds, you can't take him personal. It's not a thing he feels you as parent did wrong. it could be a chemical imbalance, it could be the small,yet to the exetreme insecurity. nothig linked to something you as a parent did wrong,just the struggle to find something something in his life to figure out when it started.what happened so bad that made him feel he couldn't make a difference. where he wasn't notice to say? Mom- every cutter is different, everyone of us has a different reason?Some we can't and haven't even reconized. you have to be patient if you want to understand. We live it and we're still trying to understand. I know it kills you to see someone you love hurt themselves,and not be able to do a thing about it. It kills us as cutters to not be able to explain it, so you as parents understand it wasn't your fault. It's a disease, like or not. Think in our world which we see, we don't want it either. Secret- I cancelled my wedding alot because my arms. Please be patient, you alread are a #1 mom for going this far. Give yourself that for now,slowly but surely. That I promise.I can't cure anyone but I can help you understand it,to some extent

ok first of all you have no fuckin right to say something like that!! HOw dare you!! you don't even know why people do it and second of all you need to open your eyes and look around you and see that we are all diffrent so what there are cutters and burners so freakin whatt!! Have you ever been a cutter?? Do you know whats it's like to cut to see the blood rise to the surface of our skin. NO so shut the hell up Because cutting isint for slutts and hores I hate people like you. so freakin close minded and immature!!
