Cutting.../?!


Question: Ok I haven't cut in awhile and today I felt like doing it but when I was ready to I freaked out because I got scared. Even though I was scared I still cut a few times. Is this a sign that I should stop cutting or am I just afraid of the damage that I can do?

Btw I've been told about everything that can happen to me if I cut like going to deep and really hurting myself. I think that is what is scaring me.

It's good that you have at least realized its cons. Although life can be really hard at times believe me, CUTTING IS NOT THE SOLUTION. Just like you may know, if one day you were to cut too deep, there would be serious consequences. Now that you haven't done it so often lately, please keep it that way & I'm sure within time you won't even consider it anymore. But another consideration to help this problem could be talking to someone you trust, or even a psychologist if you'd like. Good luck!

What about the ugly scars u get from it? Or the fact that it freaks out family and friends?

Cutting yourself is a pointless... go get a tatoo to get rid of your anxt!

i dont no u or your problems but i do no that u shouldnt cut
if not for your freinds and family do it for yourself

i hope u feel better

Gillian, see a doctor or pastor for some help if you are afraid to talk to family. Scars on a pretty girl isn't good. Love yourself.

You need to figure out what is triggering the urdge to cut talking to someone will help and when you start to fill the urdge to cut call someone to come over dont stay alone it will help.

fear could be helpful with stopping. if you feel you can, then yes, stop.
yes cutting is dangerous, and im glad you know that, scars are ugly too.
everything in one way or another is a sign that you should stop cutting. take care and if you havnt already, seek help!

Its not worth it. If you are serious about stopping and not doing SI anymore then perhaps you should look about on yahoo groups to see if there is a group that you want to join. There is one called NO FEAR that is a good one is it is based out of SAFE Alternatives in the states.

Scars are horrible things and they will not go away. Please get yourself some help

keep and elastic band around your wrist. whenever you would feel the urge to cut, pluck the rubber band. it gives you the sensation of cutting, without actually harming yourself.

oh, i don't know, it's so annoying when people answer questions like these when they have no experience right? I find it's so annoying. Anyway, if you really want to start up again, do what you feel is right. Download some good songs too, it always helps.
