I cut myself.... what do I do?!


Question: Friday night my GF broke up with me, and since then I have taken on cutting and smoking again. I thought I had made it past these during the summer. My GF walked me to my door, gave me a hug and kiss, and then 20 minutes later when she got home she logged on to MSN messenger and broke up with me.

I have only done one cut so far, but I keep cutting the same spot. My GF and I went out for a few months, and I dont know what to do.

John.... I know your going through a rough time right now but everything will be ok. There are plenty more girls out there..... just curious if she gave you a reason or not? You need to go out and do something fun to help get your mind off of things... talk to some of your friends... probably a gal friend would be easier than a guy. However that more than likely will not help much. Write down all your feelings and tear it up or burn it (just don't burn down the house..) Trying keeping yourself busy, yes i will be hard but do it. I use to cut myself about 3 years ago or so for about a year. I too was cutting because I had just been broke up with... my sister found out and flipped... I had tried keeping my feelings in but after I started talking to her andgot most everything out I didn't feel the need to cut so much. Eventually I quit all together.... now I do what I have suggested to you. Plus I found the PERFECT guy for me.... so everything happens for a reason. Just quit cutting....... if you have to start another bad habbit such as flicking yourself with the rubber band... I did that for a while as well and it helps until I got bruises and people started noticing....

Cutting is a very serious matter. You need to seek professional help. Please get help. You need to stop hurting yourself.

quit

Put down the blade, realize this is a cry for help, and GO GET SOME HELP.

Act like a guy would. Try and idk get a new gf!

Just think happy thoughts, find someone else and maybe move on. If you can't, than find help. Go to a psycologist or consult your parents/friends. :]

get help and try to talk to her
go to a professional psychatrist
they help you and alot of ways.

you will get over it... months from now you will be like why did i care... try releasing your stress in others way... like music of working out or playing video games... this girls is most likely not worth hurting yourself

go to your backyard, draw a picture of some one you really hate or are mad at on your privacy fence with chalk.

shoot it with a paintball gun or beat it with a stick

'ts what i do

Right click on your mouse and select paste.

Cutting yourself is unnatural. Tell a doctor. Go get some help!

first off
1 get a new gf
2 STOP CUTTING UR SELF
3 stop smokeing
4 have fun
5 make friends
6 hang with ur friends that u made when sad
7 love life
=D

You need to realize that the break up wasn't your fault and you shouldn't hurt your self because of it.
cutting is not a good way to deal, so do other things to keep the break up off your mind like go out with friends or just plain old get out of the house.
cutting is not going to help you get over her, so try healthier ways to relieve your pain.
and there are plenty of other girls out there, so don't be upset =]

Find another way to get rid of ur anger & stress!
Punch a pillow
Go to a spot & yell @ the top of ur lungs!!!!!!!!
Cut a tree instead!!!!!!
Just ask someone to keep cigarettes & knives away from you for a while, unless others are with you

This would be an ideal time to start seeing a counselor or psychiatrist. You need support and guidance at this difficult time of your life.

cutting is serious. i know this is a hard time for you but first you need to heal the cut with alchol prep pads and badage it up real good (not too tight). Then u need to talk to your gf. if ur not ready for that then talk to a stuffed animal or picture to build strength. this will help u get ur feelings out instead of holding them inside. and always remember to seek professional help. good luck and best wishes. god bless.

Cutting can get into quite an addictivie habbit. Yes at that moment in time the physical pain seems to take away the emotional pain but in time it wont 'help' at all.

For the smallest of problems you will start cutting. You will be left with nasty scars which will take a while to fade. The emotional pain with fade faster than the scars will.

You need to tell someone you trust (not your GF) and they can help you through it. If you can't stop cutting completly straight away you need to find out about safe cutting. Steralise the thing your cutting with and clean the area. Make sure where you cut has no series arteries etc.

Also try moving away from cutting and put an elastic band around your wrist and start twanging that when you feel sad or the need to cut.

this girl sounds rather insensitive. Their are plenty of other girls out there. Remember smoking can kill you too, try and quit the smoking. A good insentive is that some girls don't like guys who smoke. Try and find a new girlfriend and have some fun.

Good luck

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but it worked for me- if there's anyone you can talk to about it, who means enough to you that you wont break a promise to them, promise them you wont do it again. Then focus your willpower in to not breaking your promise rather than not cutting yourself...sounds abit abstract, I know.
On top of that, just try to remember there are a lot of other people out there, though I know that during a break up it seems like your gf is the only person in the world for you.
If you feel that you could seek out professional help thats an option too, but a scary thought sometimes.
Finally, be thankful for the things in your life that aren't ******, I'm sure there's plenty :)
Good luck xx

honestly, cutting your self just will give your GF another reason that it was good to break up with you. you need to grow up, stop feeling sorry for yourslef and instead of hurting yourself, make your GF sorry that she ever broke up wtih you. make yourself more attractive, treat yourself, meet new people.etc!

Hi, What on Earth do you think your doing? You stupid man. Just because your girlfriend has broke up with you you go depressed and cut your self. Whats the point, there's more to things than life than girlfriends/boyfriends. Yes it is nice to have love but i guess that you can't have it all the time. Woopy doo your single, it was just a girlfriends not a marriage. If you desperately need someone go and find them. Theses plenty of them out there. Also if you keep cutting yourself you may hit a main artery or vain. Trust me I'm a trained first aider. Good luck in the future I'm sure you'll be fine.

Well, first off she is not worth it. Its her lost i bet you your an awesome guy, and second cutting yourself won't solve your problems (trust me i know) so cheer up and be happy cuz you'll find an other girl who is better then you old GF.

Well hope this helps
