I CUT myself

To the starter of this thread, I recommend you read Cut by Patricia McCormick. It's about a girl who cuts who is in therapy for cutting. That girl thought there was nothing wrong with her emotionally either. She said at first that she just started cutting for no reason.

I wouldn't say that cutting is stupid or pointless. I would say that it is entirely too damaging to your body to undergo repeated blood loss like that. I have to wonder if you wear long sleeves to cover up the scars. If you do then you should consider whether you're really so comfortable and unashamed of your cutting like you say you are.
 
cutting is a bad habit... and it only gets worse... and even if you have no intention of dying, or you're not depressed... there's always going to be that ONE time that pushes it too far (literally), and then you're in big trouble. If you are a cutter, I would hope you know the anatomy in the areas you're cutting very well... because everywhere, there are veins and arteries that are just waiting to start a chain reaction... and chain reactions only lead to more trouble...
so, my advice-- stop before it's too late...
it may sound harsh, or over-exaggerated, but it's not... i knew some one in a similar situation... and they pushed it too far... luckily, a family member found them before it got too bad... but there was major blood loss, and now she's in therapy and everyone thinks she's crazy... all because she thought she could control it, but she couldn't....
everyone is continuously messing around with fate, and the consequences thereof... and fate almost ALWAYS wins...
don't let fate overcome you... because you can control this problem before it gets too bad... and what happens when you get married, or seriously committed to someone, and one day they see everything... it's going to be hard... so just stop... you can do it...
 
NDNPrincess, I remember our conversations on how safe meth was, and how you are doing it every day and it's not affecting you negatively at all. You have children and you claim to be responsible for them, yet you do meth AND cut?! Are you kidding me?? You don't see how you really need help?

Sorry, I don't buy that crap at all. I'm not even sure I believe anything you say here because it's just so (sorry but insane). If everything you type in these forums is true you really need help, and the fact you think you don't is all the more reason you do.

Seriously, you are heading down one hell of a dangerous path, and in the end you are more than likely going to lose your kids, even if not by legal means, they will more than likely grow to distance themselves from you. Stop kidding yourself. Your kids need you to be there, completely for them. How can you expect them to live happy SECURE lives when you can't show them how it's done? Stop all this shit, before you really do have nothing left that you say makes you happy now.
 
So ranC your basically saying self harm is a good idea

There isnt much sense in that, there will be plenty of ways to releive stress e.g punching bag, sport, heck masturbation is a stress release.

Cutting yourself gives the impression of attention seeking, weak minded and worst of all a quiter. Your friends will distance themselves from you and make it out that your weird, though some may not.

There is nothing to gain from cutting yourself its just a cheap way out of problems.
 
Ice cubes are actually fun, hot objects also (once in a while). Yeah, you're on meth and cut yourself, whatever, I don't care, but the "not being from depression" etc is bullshit, because if you really thought that way would you come posting here about it? It allmost sounds like bragging or a cry for attention...

Anyway, my advice would be to replace cutting, with what beef said... Posting on forums usually doesn't relieve your stress.

Beef: Cutting isn't really a way out of problems, just a way to delay dealing with them. Some people really do it for fun, but that's really rare.
 
I'm not claiming it is good, nor do I claim it's bad. Since it's something you can't simply put a label on.

I've cut too, and I have to learn with the results of it.

But seriously stuff like "IT'S JUST ATTENTIONWHORING!" and what not is bullshit. I'm not saying that there aren't any cutters who do it just for attention, I'm sure there are, but usually it's something else. And that friends leave you is bullshit too, if they leave you, then you know they weren't your friends in the first place.

Let me give you folk a little lesson in self-harm. It's something done by people who can't express their emotions normally and therefore aim it at themselves. (Note: breaking things when you're stressed or emotional goes into the same category)

Now, people can cut for various reason. To numb the mental pain, to "un-numb", to relieve stress, to self-punish, to break through dissociative periods, etc.

Furthermore, comparing it to sports is unreasonable. I know cutters who sport their ass off but still cut. Why? Because it's a symptom of a mental or psychiatric disorder.

Thank you for reading, I hope I enlightened at least some of you.
 
How come I havn't seen the :emo: emoticon in the thread yet?


anyways,.....yeah, cutting yourself sucks, get a hobby :thumbsup:
 
yes i was an everyday meth user. i tried to go straight, only to learn being high was more tolerable then not. petty things didn't matter. i never lost focus of what was important or what needed to be done. now sober and shit sucks. i guess i was happier "blind" in a way, yet happy, as to seeing everything and seeing how shitty things really are.:flamed:
 
I remember when I was 13, I used to be under the impression that if you cut your wrists, you would automatically die. Then one day, I accidentally cut myself while cutting a frozen bagel and panicked quite a bit. That sparked me being high on life for...well, what would end up being almost a full year.
 
Meth will end her badly. Meth does not have a happy ending. It is not a controllable drug. It is not something you can do and raise a happy, stable family with. I don't care who you are, Meth is the Devil Incarnate. I know, I used to think I had it under control myself. You can not control it, you only think you can----and that is the hardest lesson to learn.

Seek help girl, and soon. Before you destroy your family and all that you hold sacred in life, because that is the road you are going down.
 
I used to cut myself.

I only started after a friend told me about how she did it and how much better she felt about it.
I think that what happened in my case (and what happens in most cases) is somewhat of a placebo effect. The power of belief in the human mind is amazing. If you believe it makes you feel better, then it will.
But you say you don't feel really depressed or anything, which is kind of weird. Some people's replies that I have read say that you're just crying out for attention, and true, that very well may be it, but the level of satisfaction that you seem to be getting from your cuts seem to be somewhat... masochistic, I guess.
Anyway, basically all I have to say is that you should be thinking ahead: what will people think in the future when you're trying to get a job or trying to get in a relationship or something, and they see the scars on your arms or on the inside of your thighs? They'll think it's weird, that you have loads of baggage, and they won't want too much to do with you.
My advice is to stop what you're doing because you're only ruining yourself for the future. I'm not religious or anything, but your body is YOURS, not anybody else's, and it's with you UNTIL YOU DIE. Later on in life you'll look back on this and think, "What the fuck was I thinking?"

Trust me, regret sucks.
 
No, I've never cut myself. I don't get it at all. It definitely seems like some kind of psychological outlet though. At any rate, I really didn't get into this thread to talk about her cutting. I spoke in here because this was the second time she has come out on these forums confessing to using either drugs or vices to help her cope in life (even if she claims cutting is just amusement). I am more concerned about her apparent issues in life that she seems to be having especially after mentioning she has kids and thinks that using is harmless.

Oh, and I'll bet most licensed psychologists have never cut either. Sometimes you don't have to do something to see why or what is wrong with it. If that's where you were headed, Icka. (not saying were professionals here, most of us are just using common sense or deductive reasoning really, just wanted to make that point ;) )
 
if you guys and gals are going to be doing any cutting, just remember it's down the street not across the road. yeah, someone probably said that already.

seriously though. don't go and cut yourself because you feel shitty. how bout, you talk to people about your feelings. then one day, when you feel in a well enough mood, go and get laid.

not applying to the above i believe.
 
You say that you cut yourself, and have full control? I don't think so, the reason you cut yourself is because you lack control, you lack control of your drug addiction, and the only control you have in your life is your own agoney, your own pain and suffering. You say you have control? Then stop, do you want your daughter to pick up these tendencies? When you have an addiction, it's not because you have control of your life, it because you lack control. I for one know this, I have never cut myself, but I do know what addiction is, and how it affects you mentally. I have a question, were you physically abused when you were younger? Just think of it like this, would you want to wake up one morning to look in the mirrior, and see a different person, a scarred woman?

Just something to think about.:sad:
