can you answer this please?!


Question: Can you answer this please?
When I'm sad or depressed i get sharp objects and just scratch my wrists a little, not to the extend to where it bleeds alot, i just need to ask if other people do this or isit just me?

Answers:

Other people does do this. This dangerous, and you could really hurt yourself, but know that you are not alone. Go to this website to seek information about cutting, and then Google "Cutting" or "Teens cutting wrist help" for help or someone to talk to, I hope you are okay :)

I personally don't do this but I really think you should talk to a counsellor about this. I know right now ur not physically hurting yourself but if u continue to do this and you get more depresses u could end up really hurting yourself one day. This light scratching your doing now is a warning sign that you need help. Pretty soon it will escalate into cutting your wrists and maybe even slitting them. So get help now before you get worse.



I do it, too. I just like the burning/tingling feeling when I run water over it. If you use a (clean) safety pen to just scratch it and not bleed that's fine. You can't really hurt yourself because you aren't bleeding. So if you're going to scratch do it that way. It's not just you.

Myself



Yes, other people do this. It is called cutting. It can improve with treatment. Without treatment it escalates. Get treatment. You need treatment.



You're cutting. "Not to where it bleeds a lot" means it does bleed.



just you



I don't.
