I feel the need to cut my wrists...?!


Question: I feel the need to cut my wrists!.!.!.!?
I know this will sound strange, or even stupid!. But I give it a shot anyway!.!.

Ever sinse I was about 14 (last year) I've felt the need to cut my wrists when ever something goes wrong!. I know a lot of people do it for plesuse, or because they want to die!.!. but I don't want either of those things, I just feel like I need to when I feel down, like really down!.

I've done it a lot but hardly ever even broken the skin, all that stops me is remembering the pain of the last time I did it!. I normaly just hord a knife to my wrist but I don't drag it across, I don't think I really want to!. I also hold a knife in a flame and then push it down to my wrist sometimes!.!.

I'm sorry if I've upset anyone, I assure you my life is not in harms way, I value life and I would never try to really badly hurt myself! I just wanted to see if any one could explain this to me!. Thanks for any comments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
bipolar running in your family definately wouldn't help but i was/am a cutter!. i haven't done it in about a year, but i also seem to fall back to it!. and it's not about dying, it's about releasing the feelings inside!. the physical pain helps "take away" the mental pain, even if you don't even cut the skin but just hold it there!. you remember, so it's nearly the same!. most self harm is about that, and not always about pleasure or attention!.

glad you're life's not in danger, so stay safe =) and i hoped that helped some!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pain resolves stupidity!. But pain can be useful!. Instead of using a razor, use a bicycle!. Learn to ride one hundred miles!. The pain is exquisite, and you'll be better for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am the exact same way!. i dont know what to do eitherWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think you really need to talk to someone, as these are far from healthy thoughts!. I am not not sure of other family related issues that may have caused this, but you are 15 years old!. You can get past this!. Why your wrists!? If you don't want to die and you just want the release and pain, why don't you cut your forearm, finger, stomach, or something that may be less serious if you accidently cut to deep the time you choose to really cut!. Please just talk to someone and realize there are other ways to solve problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

cutting yourself is probably because you feel like its your fault
and that your weaknesses are screwing things up!.
when you put the knife against your wrist your just feeling responsible for what youve done or what has upset you!.
the reason you never go the full way is because sub consciously you know its not the right thing and its just a way of threatening yourself!.
i hope im making sense but you just feel as if its your fault and you want to give yourself a scare so that you wont make the same mistake again!.
you should try talking to someone about it!.
sometimes its good to let it out
if you feel you cant talk to someone and feel like theres no one to trust
then you can write it down as a diary!.
this way you can see for yourself what your feeling
may sound pathetic but its worth a goWww@Answer-Health@Com

Jane what is wrong with you!? On the one side you say you don't want to hurt your self on the other side you are saying you would like to cut your wrists!.

You where lucky until now but someday it will go wrong and you could die accidentely!. Please consider this!. I had also some depression 10 years ago and went to Doctors and they never actualy helped me what helped me is my love now my wife she went trough all the difficult time with me and now I feel so much loved and I do not even have the desire to hurt my self!.

For you I would suggest try to do something you love or find some body to be with who helps you trough this difficult time!. Please fight this urge to to hurt your self and find the best in everyday!. May god guide you trough this difficult time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Perhaps!.!.!. if your family has a history of depression then it increases the likely hood of you becoming depressed to!. What you are doing is self harming!.
Don't be afraid to open up to a teacher, family friend or perhaps a doctor!. This is an unhealthy way of coping with your feelings, and one which you may regret later in life (trust me - Ive been there) You need to try and find a better way of dealing with your feelings and if your not sure were to start, some therapy might help!.
I'll include a link to a website that explains self harm - but if you goole it you will find lots of helpful links yourself!.
Hope you can work this out!.

There's a lot of things that could be said, but it's good you're talking about it!. One of the things that it's good to know, is that unless you actually are having thoughts about killing yourself, you are not suicidal!. Self harm and suicide are very different things!.

There's a lot of reasons why people self harm!. Some people are anxious, others depressed, others angry!. Something that helps a lot of people can be talking to a counselor, or trusted friend!. I'm certain that if you mention it as "I read on the internet that lots of people do this, have you ever heard of it" I'm sure lots of your friends will have!.!.!.if they don't themselves!.

I'll include some websites, but let me know if you need more info, k!? No matter what, there are people out here who want to hear what you have to say, even if it is just the internet :)
