Why can't cutters stop cutting?!


Question: Why can't cutters stop cutting?
I'm sorry to say but I cut my self my bestfriend died my dads in the military I lost my friends and all my grades dropped but truly I'm a nice person. I tried to stop cutting but I just can I made it for two days but then I had to cut. Why did this happen??

Answers:

It happened because you were put under a lot of stress and needed a way to let it out, Bad things happen and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop them, it's awful that you've been put through this, but bad things will happen again in the future, and all these things that you're being hit with at the moment, will prepare you for any troubles in the future.

It might seem difficult but just go for a few more days. Find your own inspiration to stop, people can tell you strategies and tricks to make it easier, but ultimately it's you that's going to stop yourself, when you're ready. Try other ways to let out your problems, talking to someone or exercise, and look to the future, because you will be happy again, and the sadness that you're feeling wont last forever. Good luck and I hope you find your own inspiration to stop when you're ready

Don't be too angry if people are nasty about it and upset you, because they could be the one's who inspire you to stop - prove that you're strong enough to deal with these difficult situations and not cut yourself x

Because you're weak. You fail to realize you have a life that thousands of people around the world would love to have...

(what's that you say?) You're healthy, you have a roof over your head and food in your stomach. You think you have personal problems but they are nothing compared to the rape victim carrying the unwanted child or the aids victim who caught it from a man they thought they loved.

(Mommy and Daddy don't love me!!) So, you have parents. Which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of children out there who would love to just have someone to love. They're not suppose to bow down to your every whim. It takes respect to give respect.

Your friend died? Sorry to say, but that's life. Do you think your best friend would want you to be cutting yourself? Doubt it. Why have your grades dropped?? If there's something that is interfering with your schooling, you need to distract yourself form that and focus on your education which is the most important aspect right now. Cutting is no excuse to use on any circumstance. It's a cry for attention and if you're trying to kill yourself, you're selfish.


EDIT: oh, and BTW. Reporting me will do nothing because I am not violating YAHOO! Terms of agreement. If anything, the question asker is by providing information of self harm.

Doesn't candy coat the little child's selfish act.



Because you are surrounded by situations you have absolutely no control over. Cutting is your way of getting a handle on things and taking control of SOMETHING.
You have to learn that life has a lot of painful moments in it and that's the way it is. There are joys and ups and downs.
I finally had to ask God to help me stop. It is a day by day process but when you start seeing more positive things you eventually stop cutting. But it takes work.
Surrender this cutting to God. Tell him "I don't want to do this anymore, help me." And stop it.

Because its an addiction. Maybe it gives you a little burst of happiness or relaxation as you can just focus on one thing and block out the rest of the world. Its a form of escapism.
You can stop, but it is so easily triggered again and again, that people find it so difficult to stop.

I can only think that once things get better in your life and others around you, you will feel better, and so wont feel the need to keep doing it to yourself.

What i do to my fingers



Because you are under stress and strain right now get some anti depressants from your doctor or some good therapy to help you deal with things. People use different coping techniques for life please try some medication it really does make a big difference.



relief is addicting. i used to be a cutter and i still feel an urge to cut whenever something goes wrong but ive learned (with therapy) how to get relief on other ways.



Why would anyone want to hurt themselves?

Just put down the knife or whatever you use to cut...and

WALK AWAY!!! Things can only bother you to that extent if you let them



Get on with life, could be alot worse, I'd know.
