I cut myself sometimes...is ok?!


Question: I cut myself sometimes...is ok?
Im a teen but that doesn't mean all teens do , and well sometimes i cut myself (NOT on the wrist) mostly my arm once on my leg. I'd love to change my ways but i have nothing else that lowers my stress and depression so if anyone has suggestions or a reason why i cut myself instead of anything normal please do tell. :) :/

Tell your favorite teacher about the abuse only-nothing more. I can call cps or counsel your mom etc.

1st of all, maybe you think people/parents can talk anyway they see fit each day. Turns out many parents are abusers. Actually they are not trying to be tough to make you better or help- they are tricking you. This goes for people at school as well. Words are abuse also.

There are 3 types of abusive people/parents. Some hit the bottle. Some hit you. And some run their mouths and put you down. THEY are sick and feel great on being mean, and thats the only reason they do it. They are wrong about everything. The typical abuser is close-minded, self-righteous and was also abused themself. Use defense and read many sites on verbal abuse etc. People tear you down to build themselves up. Youre being abused - Its their problem. Knowledge is power.

Abuse causes pain mistaken as Mental Problems. BP OCD etc. Psychiatrists commit fraud and all disorders are a hoax. For chemical imbalances NO test exists. You dont have what shrinks say you have. Dont tell anyone about your so called disorder. They will only drug you.

Jesus name and forgiving others who are wrong is important along with avoiding them.

Contact- Child Protective Services- Transitional help to age 21- tell your teacher. Dont tell your parents they wont listen.

Learn the truth, forgive, and Get Away from them. Read many many sites under "emotional abuse" and "dealing with bullies".

I have some questions for you.

I don't know all of your problems and stress that you have. I am not you, we are all different so I cant say a reason why you cut yourself, but you should stop. I used to do the same thing because of stress and depression. My family always fought and a girl I would do anything for started to treat me badly so I got very upset and tried cutting, after a while I didn't like hiding it and I regretted doing it. It leaves scars that when your older will still be there and you will wonder why you did that and all it will do is remind you of sad times. So try and stop cutting. I found that getting an ice cube and squeezing it relieves emotional stress or just go for a walk, do anything but dont harm yourself purposely, you will regret it.



OMG please don`t do cut yourself. Just find someone to talk to. There are teen hotlines and things so you have some one to talk to if you dont have anyone there for you. There are other ways to releave stress and depression. Cutting your self anywhere is not the way to go about it. Do things that make you happy and just try to stay active. Play a sport listen to music or even just take a walk to the park or around the park. When im stressed walks help me. Im 19 and yes I still go to the park lol but that is what helps so thats what im going to do. But please just dont do. Even if you are trying to kill yourself or not or you just do it for the hell of it its not worth it. It hurts me that you are going through this even though I dont know you it still sad for me. I wish you all the best of luck. Just please find some help or someone to call on when you need someone to talk to. This really is not healthy and I wish you well.



cutting is a sign of stress and depression
self harm isn't abnormal it's a natural expression of acute distress and unhappiness
how can i say this ? i'm not doing it to promote or glorify s/i but rather to say you are really troubled and the way you cope is natural because animals do to and they know nothing about attention seeking or being emo/goth they purely self harm cos they are in extreme mental distress
http://newfoundlandnews.blogspot.com/200…
but unlike animals you can reach out and get help speak to you GP and get meds or try counselling CBT is very good. get a self help book from the library
try online to get help
this is a website set up and run by people who s/i and want to stop it's a very safe not pro s/i in fact people are banned for glorifying it its has good advice for people who s/i
http://www.recoveryourlife.com/

i wish you good luck in trying to over come your troubles and you can go on to have a safe happy life free of the distress that has led you to s/i



It sounds like you really have a lot going on that is stressing for you. Sometimes when people feel stressed and overwhelmed they use cutting to help cope with that pain. I'm sure that it feels like it is helping, but if you don't talk about stuff then the feelings don't really go away. I don't get the sense from your question that you are feeling suicidal, but if you are having those thoughts too then it might be helpful for you to talk to your parents or doctor. They can help find you resources, and give you some support. You could also talk to a school counselor, therapist, or pastor/priest. Just talk to someone that you trust and can get you support and help that you need. If you want to talk, you can also call the Boys Town National Hotline at 1-800-448-3000. You can also email or chat with a Counselor at the website www.YourLifeYourVoice.org. Take care!

If you could dislike an answer 100,000 times, I would do it to Bug's answer.

yes, many teens cut themselves. I'm not criticizing you or anything but I've never seen the interest in it. Try other ways to relieve your stress like....
-blasting music and singing to it
- leave aside 15 minutes to do something you truly enjoy
- taking a short nap once in a while?

Doesn't cutting yourself create more stress? About having to think of a way to hide it from others?



EEK! You need to try and stop this habbit :/ Find something which relaxes you, like watching a film or taking a hot bath.. And whenever you're stressed or down; don't reach for the knife but do something to calm yourself down. I know it sounds strange but playing a board game with my younger brother always cheers me up. :D



I can relate to you. really i can. I've been made fun of and bullied all the time and whenever i'm in that even i never dare to cut myself. Honestly i dont understand why people do that. How would you benefit from that? why whould u wanna cause urself more pain? like physical pain because you've already go enough to handle. So think of that and maybe that will try to help you stop



Well it's obvious you're just doing it to get attention. But people are gonna be freaked out by this, and it's gonna have the opposite effect.
But don't worry, you're just gonna grow out of it when you graduate high school.



It hurts, and that is good so you can take anger out on yourself



Are you emotionally depressed in some ways maybe?



You need to go and get some professional help. Get your parents to take you to your doctor to get a referral.



You're addicted to it. I know that when I used to cut, the sting gave me relief.



Masturbate>Cutting



Talk to someone, a trusted adult. Snap a rubber band or rub ice on your skin.



Cutting youself is normal for some teens. DO NOT be offended by what anyone else says. If you wanna cut yourself you can! No one's stopping you. So don't listen to whta everyone else says. Be yourself :)
