Hi donna,
Right now you are 21 and you are not seeing as it is a problem!. When I was in the mental hospital there were some folks there that were so scarred up and they actually got depressed from the scars!. I understand it feels good and I do understand why you do it!. The draw to do it is very desireable!. On the flipside other people see it as freekish and that you are destroying your body and can't understand why you do it!. They want you to stop as my therapists and Pdocs wante me to stop the tattooing I do!. My old therapist celebrated when I pierced a place that would not show and would not leave any scars!. She was weird!. Anyhow there are a lot of folks that I know out there that self harm and we all do it for different reasons except one it is the release!. The trick is going to figure out what is going on in your life or what happened in the past that got you to start doing this!. It took a while for me to find mine!. It had a lot of pain attached to it from my childhood!. You are right though some folks drink or do drugs and stuff like that!. They get their release that way!. Ok I used to do all of the above too!. I needed a lot of releases!. Think of it this way!. What happens if many years down the road you would like to go to a nice beach and put on a bathing suit!? That is what a friend of mine is dealing with right now in Virginia!. It depresses her!. It is just something just to think about ok!? Be safe!.

I think those people are worried about you, because when you cut yourself it mean you hurt yourself, they are afraid that you have some problem in your life that you are not telling them, and they think you wreak it by cutting yourself!.
And by cutting yourself you can get infected by illness, because sometime you can get a cut from a rusty scissors, and it really is dangerous!.

And I think you need to train yourself to do less cutting, because we are supposed to take care of our body, not hurting them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is a better way to cope with circumstances in life that does not involving hurting yourself!. Self-injury is not healthy to your body and overall physical, mental, and spiritual health should be your goal in life --- not to be covered with scars, have personal independence, or to win awards!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't think of it as self injury, but it is!. You are cutting your skin open!. That leaves you open for infection!. Your skin is your body armor, and you broke it open!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Harming yourself with a blade or with anything else is a sign of deep psychological problems and general unhappiness!. It is NOT the activity of a healthy, happy person!. THAT'S why it's considered to be such a bad thing, and THAT'S why the people who care about you give a fuc*!.

If you're really schizophrenic, I hope you're on medication!. It's for YOUR good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

b/c one day it may eventually lead to 'cutting deeper!.' yes u are correct 'it is your body' but ppl are looking out for you!. They care for you and do not want to see u doing this to yourself!. Maybe try looking at it from a birds eye view!.!.which is the 'whole situation' instead of from your point of view!. Take into consideration others and their feelings towards you (in a good way!.!.not the negative such as 'stop that! ur gonna die one day' kind of thoughts) Do you feel loved or cared for in any way!? Why does it make you feel amazing!?Take a deep breath just breathe!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most people on here are going to say that cutting is bad because it can lead to suicide!. I know that cutting has nothing to do with suicide, but it is still dangerous!. Why, you ask!? Because it is an addiction!. Cutting gives you a chemical rush to your brain which causes the feeling of euphoria and release when you do it!. The more frequently you cut, the deeper and more intense you will have to do it in order to get that feeling!. Most people who are addicted to this behavior feel that it controls them, they do not feel in control over the choice to cut or not to cut!. It's not very fun to feel controlled by a razor blade!. In fact, it increases your sense of helplessness and your need to cut!. While the cutting is not life threatening, it is preventing you from gaining control over your emotional responses in healthy ways that you can feel power over, rather than powerless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people feel differently than anybody else with different things!.
And I don't judge anybody that has a different opinion than me!.!.!. But I will tell you if I have a different opinion!.
I thinki it's wrong to cut yourself!. It's self-mutilation!. It could lead to other things, worse things!. Not always, but it could!.
You're parents are worried about you and that's why they think it's wrong!. They have the right to be!.
I can understand some people have the thought that this helps them to feel better, and I can understand that!. I've looked at it from so many different points of view, so that I can try to understand different peoples opinions!.
But I believe that it's wrong because it's causes you bodily harm that you will have scars from forever, physically and emotionally!. And as I said, it can always escelate to something worse, beyond your own control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
