Ahem...."self mutilation" (otherwise known as "cutting") is a dumb thing to do. Period.

you are not alone i was a cutter to

hey. the reason that i am writing this is because i know what it feels like to be a cutter. I was a cutter once. i was in a adopted home and thangs were going ok. a few yaers later my older sister said that my father had sexualy abousd her. i didnt beleave her they then said that she was mentaly ill. so i let it go at that. a year later it started to happen to me and i didnt know what to do about it so i boddled it all up inside then i started to cutt saw that it felt good. i was late for class one day . i was waering some baggy pants. i tripped on the door and my pants came up. my teacher saw it all and sent me down to the office. they then took me to the hospital were i recived treament. later they fondout what was going on and i whent back into fostercare. well to make a long story short i havent cutt my self in 3 years.

hey,

my mom is all into drugs. that is why i started to cutt. im still cutting now and each time it just gets wores. i keep on telling my family that the reson i have cutts is because i fall alot or i give them a big long lie on how i got into a fight or my dog jumped on me. im scard that one day they will really find out what is going on . i dont want to stop. i mostly do it on my legs and on my ribes or my ankel. last year i did it on my rist and now i dont have any more room on them so i keep on moving to a diffent spot.today i did it on my hip.i dont even have to be mad to do it. i get ticked off really easey.

hey well im not a cutter but my bestfriend is and has been for about i think a year or 2 well when i found out it was cuz i saw cuts on
her hand as soon as i saw them i asked what had happend and she said she had fallen ofcourse believing her. she keept doing it and after i just started not to believe her and finally she told me one day with out any hesitation or problem when i asked why? she said she could not axplain it but as time went by we have grew apart still there for her but not in all concepts well i dont know i love her i tell her that every chance i get but she feels no one loves her i wanna help before she ends up dead (has been hospitalized 3 times for attempting to kill her self)if any body can help me understand this better please email me thanks!!punk*****_akachanga@yahoo.com

I've been a cutter for 4 years but I recently stopped for a year and 5 months. No it;s not fair they moved.

Last year my best friend started cutting (again) and by the end of the year, she decided that all of her problems were my fault and everything that she did was because of me.

To all the cutters out there, don't blame your problems on someone else. They don't deserve that kind of thing hanging over there heads. It's not fair to do that to anyone.

hey everyone, I am a conserned mom who's sons girlfriend cut's, and I want to help her. I was hoping someone could give me some advice for her and me to help her. I would love to hear from anyone my email is eggless20@comcast.net thanks.

chica i know exactly what you are going through, let me share how i solved that problem personally...

me and my boyfriend are both cutters, i do (did) it about 3-4 times a month, i know thats not much but when i cut it was deep and there were many of them (last time i made 16 2-3 inch slices on my leg) and he cuts even less than me...

to solve the problem of cutting, we both know its bad for us and i dont want him to cut and he doesnt want me to cut... and its a habbit we have been trying to break on our own anyhow.... so we made a deal, i cut he cuts and he cuts i cut.... it sounds like it wouldnt work but it does, neither of us has cut in 2 months!

if you need anymore help just let me know! ill be glad to help!

grrrrrrrrrrr...im so pissed i cant belive i did it again. I have gone 3 months without doing SI and my mom makes me crack and i do it again. But i cant do it again it hurt my boyfriend too much/because he couldnt help me and i feel so bad/ has anybody been in this suitation?

hey guys, i cut, but theres somthing about it i really dont get, at school they show more concern about it than my parents. My dad just calls me an attension seeking little sh** and other things alike, wich really dosn't help, and i dunno what to do, my parents just couldnt care less and it seems like people at school are just getting involved because they want something to talk about its not like they really care, it just makes me feel like a have less and less control over my life and what go's on in it, wich just makes things worse

Check the other boards . I know what u mean . Ask for help online .Noisemail if you feel like talking . And yaah - somebody always cares.

alright chica...heres the deal.....your not alone, heres my story...

okay i was into the whole weed, smoking, drinking, partying, sneaking out, cutting, sex scene, well then i hit a big time low and i O.D...yeah i waited 8 hours before i went to the hospital. it was too late to pump my stomach so i had to take this nasty a** medicine for 4 days, thats four days at texas childrens...yeah had many docotrs, psychologists, psychiatrics and what not talk to me...well this whole weed, smoking, drinking, partying, sneaking out, cutting, sex scene was never known by any of my close friends or parents. well because of the whole OD thing it came out. well after texas childrens i was sent to intracare, yeah that would be a PSYCH HOSPITAL... there i was mentored and what not and i had to take 2 CD (chemical dependacy) classes everyday and i was diagnosed as bi-polar... after that long stay there it was hard for me to to get out of all that...i dont do weed, or drugs, i go to clubs but mainly for concerts, i drink rarely and when i do its in modesty and i still cut on ocassion...its hard not to...oh and btw i go to a psychologist about 1 or 2 or 3 times every 2 weeks...it used to be 2 times a week...so babe if you ever need any support and reassurance or anything just email i will be glad to help with anything!!!!!!!

This thread is dead and there are already many other threads like it. I suggest you find one.

Hey people! I was a cutter for a really long time..... my life was pretty screwed up at the time I was doing it... and I learned that by cutting just mad things worse!!! It was the biggest mistake I ever made. I also hang around with a lot of people that cut to, it is really hard knowing that they are making the same mistake I did, and I cant do anything baout it..... I only wish I could. I have tryed to talk to some of them but they just wont listen. Anyone know what else I can do?

i used to.. and 3/4 of my friends do.. if i can help them, then i will but if they dont want the help.. then screw them , their on their own. .they r ruining their own lives.. and if the take out on their friends than they need help, its just a matter of wanting it.. cutiing is stupid, it was the biggest mistake i ever made and i think it is very very selfish and stupid.[COLOR:PINK]
