I used to cut as well, more in the teenage years, now I am 31 and have children!. I still have the urge at time to cut, but it has been 2 years without any cutting!. Most people don't understand why it is done, I would say to try get to the bottom of what upsets you and try to get it out of your life if possible!. Find other ways to help you when you are having problems! It could be anything that you like! Also try new things! I have fish, and this helps me! I also have an Autistic child and most of my time is devoted to him and my other child! I don't think its stupid, your different that's all! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! Dont cut near veins or arteries!. And try to get help from someone you trust! Take care! I wish you the best! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I believe in peoples choice in what they do to themselves!. But personally, i dont think that cutting accomplishes anything besides bleeding a lot (which could make you more light headed and possibly happier for a short amount of time) and possibly killing yourself by accidently hitting an artery!. The artery in your left arm, if you cut it, you'll be dead within the minute!. I would stop if i were you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't necessarily think it is stupid in the context that--for people who do it, it really does seem to help them find a release!. But it also becomes a cycle and something they rely on much like a drug, which in any case is bad, but especially when it is harmful to your body!.
There are other ways to relieve stress!. I play guitar when I just want to relax!. When I am seriously stressed, I go for a really hard run!. A good session of high intensity running burns, it hurts, but it at least is building up my body instead of harming it!.
So no I don't think people who cut or stupid, but I'd encourage them to find a more healthy way to relieve stress and deal with life!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

"Cutting" is a symptom of deep-seated emotional disturbance!. It indicates a need for long-term psychotherapy!. Think about it: if the only way you can find (temporary) relief from those horrible feelings is to mutilate your flesh, you are, in a way, self-destructing!. I say this not to alarm you but to put it into perspective - this is a serious condition!. Since cutting your own flesh is not going to solve any problems or give you any insight or - clearly - any healing, that tells you that you will need help to heal whatever feelings are causing this, though they ebb and flow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is a silly alternative to getting help!.
I can't see how creating physical pain can relieve emotional pain!. Even if it actually does (wouldn't know, never tried) it only creates a temporary solution to an ongoing problem!. That is my personal opinion!.
As an emerging professional though, I recommend that if you have underlying depression seek professional help and get treated with medication, counseling or other conventional treatments!.
Cutting is not the answer!. You just end up with ugly scars, and your 'issues' that make you want to cut will only keep coming back again!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Looking at it on the outside, it does appear very odd!. But those of us who are not suffering from any sort of mental illness or other issues, we just have a difficult time understanding the depth of pain that one must be in to resort to cutting!.
To answer your question, it is not "stupid" per se!. It is a sign that someone is in distress and in need of help!. The health community now has a far better understanding of what causes people to cut so I hope you will seek out some sort of help somewhere!.
You say that you "used to cut", and then you say you still do but less!. Please go and find some help somewhere!. I have a very good friend who used to cut and now is so sorry she did because of all the scars on her arms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i thought about trying it a few times but when i did i really didn't like it!. I would say yes its stupid but for some folks it works!. I just think its bad because people do it because they're feelings get damaged or self-essteem or confidence so they damage themselves physically do get over it!. You get hurt twice and that's not cool for me!. I just found that when i get depressed i just tell my wife whats wrong when i feel like talking or just go work-out or play sports for me to get over whatever im stressing out about!. I know everybody is not perfect but you shouldn't hurt yourself if your mad or sad, you should trying to be uplifting yourself!Www@Answer-Health@Com
i mean yea its stupid but not in the way that most people suggest!. For example, those who joke on cutters for being "emo!." It is a serious problem, no matter what the reason you are doing it!. Even if you were just doing it for attention, which I know you weren't, it would still show a lack of something in your life!. I used to do it, I guess as a distraction from emotional pain!.!.if your in physical pain you don't think about being sad lol!. But there are definintely better ways to deal!. Exercise, music, friends, blah blah, etc!. Avoid movies where ppl cut themselves too, it makes it more tempting!. Good luck and be careful!.!.!.cut the wrong place and your a gonner =/ Www@Answer-Health@Com
i think they (people who cut) should do whatever they want i have had friends who cut!.!.i haven't technically cut my self!.!.!.!.more like self engraved myself!.!.but its not good and i know TONS of people do it now just for the attention and this shines over the people who don't do it for attention and actually have problems with stress and emotion!.!.!.and in return everyone says "its stupid, ur just looking for attention" so on and so on!. And its like an addiction almost like cigarettes its so hard to stop once you have started!. so back to the point I'm not for it and I'm not against it!.!.just be careful and not to take it too farWww@Answer-Health@Com
Lots of people do that, you should seek help and figure out the reasons for this, anxiety can cause this, it is a way to try to relieve your feelings, but it is an unhealthy way and you will eventually end up really hurting yourself!. You really need to talk to a professional!. There is help out there!. I am sorry for what you are going through!. Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is really stupid!. It doesn't relieve your problems it just makes them worse and is almost like a way to not deal with your problems!. It is not any better than doing drugs or drinking lots of alcohol or messing yourself up in other ways!. Stress is something that is not relieved through drugs or addictions you just need to chill out!. If it is school that is the problem then leave school!. This is a good zine for that:

If it is parents then you have to grow up and tell them what the problems are and tell them that you don't want to deal with their crap anymore!. If it is because you are trying to be cool, cutting is not cool and never has been it is a silly fad but being cool means being yourself and not being someone else or what they want you to be!. Please stop cutting yourself, throw away your knives and razors and all that silly immature B!.S!. and love life, go take a walk through the beauty of nature or get some friends and go whitewater rafting or bike riding or learn an instrument or how to cook or write stories or poems!. Stress is caused by our silly society and their silly rules and work and uselessness go out and be free of their chains!Www@Answer-Health@Com
