Say you are trying to recover from cutting or from an eating disorder!. They think they will be all noble and help you out by saying, "i am gonna cut until you stop" or "i am not eating until you are better!. Why the f*** don't they get that it just hurts more!. I just don't get it!. :'(Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
myself, i was a cutter!. the last time i cut was 1/19/07!. i would get the same remarks from people (family and friends)!. they didn't understand the reason for me cutting!. they just could comprehend the fact i was a cutter!. yes their remarks hurt to the core of my inner being!. but i had to realize they where clueless (uneducated)!. they didn't want to know the truth into my reasons for cutting, they just wanted me to stop, i think that's what hurt the most, them not caring enough to talk to me!. they just would say things like!.!.!.what if i started cutting what would you do then"!. i would just reply simply "if that's what you feel you must do, then do it!. but until you face this is a part of me and i cant stop for you or anybody else!.!.!.i have to stop because i want to!. it has to be MY decision, not yours!"

These people are at a loss for words!.
They do not know how to manage the person that has the cutting or eating disorder!.
This is all they can think of saying!.
They do not realize this just makes the person feel even worse!. They need to be educated!. They need therapy themselves so they can help the person in a more effective and supportive manner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

WOW that's horrible my god you need someone to support you not give you false guilt to deal with on top of everything else!. Whoever is saying these things to you you need to get away from them!. And get yourself a mental health professional to help you overcome what is bothering you!. I am always around you can email me anytime if you want to talk I will be a friend that will not judge youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Because those people are stupid!. They are trying to be supportative but they do not understand your problems!. Eating disorders and self-harm are very complicated and most people don't understand them!.!.!.!.!.

Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

People are trying to be supportive but they don't know how to express themselves correctly so they come off sounding offensive and insensitive to your situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can only agree with those concerned answers!. Get a friendly counselor for sure, and have a good talk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
