Where do people cut themselves?!


Question: Where do people cut themselves?
I am a cutter myself, and i cut my wrists and my ankles. But i was wondering if there are other places people cut themselves?
And yes i have gotten help.

Answers:

I'm sure you got help and we're not just helping you cut yourself...
People looking to kill themselves use verticle (hand to shoulder) cuts on their wrists. And for the pain armpits, inner upper half of your arm thing... Inside thighs, chest,feet, anywhere not visible.



It varies from person to person.
I am very glad you have gotten help, I am also a self harmer, not for too long, for about 7 months now, and I am struggling to get help.
I usually cut on my left arm, as I am right handed, it doesn't matter to me if it's upper of forearm. I have also cut myself on my thighs, stomach, hips and shin before.
One of my friends used to cut himself on his shoulders, so that no-one would see.

In all honesty, I think self harmer's would cut/burn/bruise etc. themselves anywhere, as long as they think they can hide it, and it gives them the relief/escape/whatever they self harm for.
Good luck stopping, I wish you all the best x



Please don't think of hurting yourself. Why live dead when you can get past that and move on --- it sounds like you need to know God, your spiritual Father, then pray about your life. He can help you live a better life. God doesn't want you to hurt yourself, but to know and follow Him so you can live a good life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God's Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God's blessing and forgiveness, as you live God's way. We need to know and follow God in this life so we can go to heaven after we die, and so we can get God's help now. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don't want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever so I can receive God's forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven after I die. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus' name. Amen."
After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church like Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran.
Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God's will for your life. The Bible is God's instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. The church can also get you baptized and prayed for. You can pray for yourself daily too. God guide your life.



when i use to cut i did my whole arms my whole legs my stomic and i had long hair so i did the back of my neck



People cut themselves anywhere.... I used to cut my genitals when I was 8... arms and legs are the most common but really anywhere on the body can be cut.



When I was at school, there was a girl who cut the insides of her thighs and her hips.
It's good that you have gotten help, cutting doesn't solve anything.



most people cut on there wrists, but more often people have been doing it in places were it is not visible, such as legs and even shoulders.



Anywhere. When I use to cut myself I cut my wrist/arms, shoulders, stomach and my thighs.

I've very please I stopped.
