Answers:
Oh my gosh, NOT ALL PEOPLE WHO CUT THEMSELVES WANT ATTENTION!. Oh my gosh it's not that hard of a concept [this is not directed at the asker, to the person who said they do it for attention] Yes, some people want attention, but they're usual the ones who do it really obviously on their wrist then go around the next day being like OH LOOK AT MY WRIST IT HAS A CUT WAHH!. NO, some people are really in emotional pain, and that's there escape!. And if you've never felt that way, consider yourself lucky, and I don't wish it upon anyone!. But unless you have been in that kind of pain, then you have no idea what it feels like, and you have no f***ing right to judge them!. Okay, like some people try to hide the cuts, and when people find out they say the person is doing it for attention!. If they are hiding it, they don't WANT attention!. Get some common sense!.
And okay for the answer, not really anyone who cuts likes to do it!.!.!.!.a lot of them feel guilty after doing it!.!.!.but it's almost like an escape for them, to feel something other than numbness!.
Oh, and I have no idea why people think they are suicidal!.!.!.I don't think a lot of people do but you always have the people that have that ignorance


And just for the record, not all depressed people are suicidal, and not all suicidal people are depressed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People feel bad for them because cutting is masking other pain that is inside!. Cutting traditionally is used to release pain that is overwhelming at the time and that the person has no other way of releasing!. Or they cut so they can feel the pain, because they are numb and can't feel!.

Either way cutting and being numb and then cutting are both coping skills that can be used to mask other pains that one doesn't want to -- or can't -- feel at that time!. (Been there, done that, so I am not just spouting what someone told me or I have heard!.) When I found other ways to release my feelings or to feel them I found cutting less and less necessary!. In addition, cutting can be very dangerous -- some people do cut very deep and it can cause tendon damage -- depending on where one cuts, get infected, etc!. So, people become concerned!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm just like this!. I don't want to say I like this, but I just make little scrapes along the inside of my left rist!. No intentions to kill myself with them!. I guess people get upset because that is how many people die, or just because it hurts to see other people (kids inparticular) hurt themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't feel bad because Americans have it better then those who live in Africa, no matter what!. Most kids that harm themselves want attention or whatever!.

I've been through alot in my life but I never picked up a knife or a razor blade!. All of the self harmers that I know of actually have a pretty nice life compared to me!. Hahaha!. They feel bad for themselves for no reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
