this answer isnt for u babychopstickz.... we will talk about it later lol .... this is to most of the people who commented on this question and gave the most ridiculous answers stating to just continue... and who are we to judge and even the douche that wrote :choose this for best answer plz".... first i would like to say i cut for 11 years... i have been free of it for 1 1/2... first off no its not okay to do it... it is a problem... second off no u shouldnt judge anyone ... let he who is without sin cast the first stone... and i dont think any of u can do that.... cutting is alot more common than u think... and btw guys do it ALOT... not just gay ppl and women.... i know alot of u on here are just sucking up to get chosen the best answer... but the best answer to anything is experience and truth...this isnt about points.... this is about trying to help other ppl to understand or let them know they arent alone....i kind word a simple smile or small kind gesture can save a life... everyone has problems some worse than others... cutting is a problem... and u can get addicted... for some its a phaze... they pick it up and drop it just as quickly... for others it has helped them survive the horrors of life... remember alot of these ppl on here u dont know half their stories... and some have been through some terrible things... others have been through small things.... wat ppl should realize is whether uve had to live a horrible life of being molested raped beaten or just picked on at school ... to the person ur talking to that was a horrible experience to them and whether or not u think its a big deal to them it is... no experience is worse than someone elses... and i have been through ALOT... to encourage cutting is a bad thing to be non shalant is just as bad and to give an answer because u want to be chosen as the best answer is quite pathetic... we all go through bad things at some point in time the reason for surviving them and making it through is so that u can help others get through them as well... u dont have to have a degree to know about life
Well... all the people I knew who liked cutting themselves were either women or later in life realized they were gay.
I don't know if that means anything... but I think maybe you should see a counselor to see if there's something going on.
Don't think I'm insulting you... it's just that no one on answers can give you the attention you need. I think you'll like talking to someone who's educated enough to tell you whats real and offer some insight.
okay well honestly i think its a faze. i think you do not need help. you can over come it. and if you like it then who are we to tell you otherwise. but i think that you can over come this.
[chose as best answer][please]
This is a problem, u tend to rely on the pain/pleasure to take away the pain of your problems. The severity of the problem can determine how much harm you inflict. It starts small but then grows.
A sizeable amount of ppl do this so your not alone.
if you want to cut yourself then cut yourself hopefully you will get over it one day
Not only is it a problem , but a very weird obsession. Must you be like all the other weirdos that do this crazy **** ?
Stop it !!! develop your own creativity and you will discover you will love yourself more not to do something that dumb and stupid.
Yeah it is a problem. Although I managed to stop so you should be able to. The main thing about it is that it's addicting. Like any other addiction you like it and don't want to stop insintincvely. But how I stopped is one day I just realized what I was doing and how stupid it is. I was doing it because life s*cked, but you know it doesn't make things better yeah? You sound like you may just be doing it for the feel. So it's harder to stop. But there are ways to stop. I'd consider therapy, or maybe just a support group?
yeah, it's a disorder, but very treatable, it can be caused by childhood trauma or just an imbalance(probably more reasons that I can't think of)
don't do it on your own by just "quitting", see your Dr., a good therapist and/or medication can give you the old you back---promise
just don't get discouraged with Dr's, it's hit or miss and very frustrating until you find what's right for you and then........it's magic
i was addicted to it for like two years. and its so hard to stop so stop now before it gets worse. i finally did by 1.meeting a guy and he made me promise to stop 2.taking the knife out of my room 3. some friends found out and kept checking to make sure i did 4. being embarassed by hooking up with a guy adn having cut marks on your legs 5. everyone asking about the scars gets really really old 6.my friends told a councler ....but personally i dont think it is a real problem
I'm 14
and i have the same problem i love cutting myself and i love how it feels your addicted to cutting
you cut because your so use to it and you dont know how to stop b/c its the only thing you really like.NO the cause is why you did it in the first reason e and the reason is why you cant stop.
its not a faze
it something you have to work at to fix and make better.
Why would you love the feeling?
Hi. I'm 16 and have been cutting and burning since I was 14 so I know how it feels. I completely understand the feeling of 'loving' it and not wanting to stop. Although it's not physically addictive, it can develop into a psychological addiction. I don't think it's a phase and it is a very real problem. If you cut to deal with problems and emotions then it's more likely a bad coping mechanism that'll take a while to change. It could also be a symptom of an underlying mental problem such as anxiety or depression. Have you thought about seeing a counsellor or psychologist? Sometimes it helps to talk about your feelings and get advice. Well done for deciding to stop. Remember that many people relapse at some point, so don't give up if you don't manage to stop forever.
Good luck xxx
