Cutting is something that people do in order to be able to know, "this is why I hurt, because I have a cut on my arm". Cutting is mostly found in teens, and these teens are most often NOT suicidal. Instead, these people may have depression, have stress in their life, and they feel awful, but have no way of saying, "I feel awful, because..." It's just a general 'awful' feeling. So you cut yourself, and then you know why you feel awful.
Cutting is a psychiatric problem. That is not to say that you, your friend, or anyone else who does this, is 'sick' or 'mental'. Rather, the very real feelings you have are not being expressed in a positive way.
If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents (if you are a teen), or don't have anyone to talk to, most places have mental health hotlines (you may hear about them on the radio), which are confidental and free, and you needent leave your home. They are happy to talk to you for as long as you need, as often as you need, or refer you to someone if want. Also, your family doctor is a very good source of information, and will be able to refer you to others who can help you understand what's going on.
Finally, if you feel that you just can't do it anymore, that everything is truly hopeless, and you want to end it all and kill yourself, or hurt yourself badly, CALL SOMEONE, or go straight to the emergency department. You can call 911, and they will come for you.
Things really do improve, it may be a hard journey, but by the end of the road, you won't believe you used to be that person. REmember, you don't have to keep everything to yourself, and be strong all the time. Often, it takes more courage and strength to want to get better and do something about it, than you think you are showing by being stoic.
Good luck, and think happy thoughts.
Geezz!! Cut yourself for what? It wont make you happy.... or does it? Im sure there are other more fun thing to do than that!
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO??!?!?!
You should know! STOP CUTTING YOURSELF!!
You should both talk about why you were cutting yourself s, face to face. Then promise to each other you won't do it again, and go do some happy activity together.
Tell a trusted adult about what is going on your friend needs help!
ok well heres the thing... no i'm not just saying this... yea i used to be a cutter... boarder line sucide person too.... i found help and you need to too.... i cant stop stressing enought to everyone i kno that does it, even though you get to feel something..its not going to help as much as you think it will.....please reassure your friend that he/she needs to stop... i think you need some help like idid.... i hope that helps.... please... before you think you cant turn anything around....you can
first it would be easiest to get to the bottom of why you're cutting. when you understand the source of the problem, its easier to eliminate the rest of the situation. right down somewhere [in a journal if you have one] what makes you feel the need to cut yourself. you should probably talk to someone, most likely an adult, for extra support in quiting. i think maybe if you quit, your friend will follow in your footsteps. I've noticed often times people start doing things their friends do, such as cutting, because they want to know what its like to be them. help each other out.
good luck!
