I've been cutting since I was 12, but I haven't cut now for four weeks. It's hard, because you want to, ecsepcially when you're sad and know and see all kinds of sharps things.

A lot of the times I wanted to cut, I went around other people, you can't really cut in front them, so that stops you. And if you can, you can talk to them. But a lot of people have a lot of trouble with that.

It probably isn't natural to cut, but that doesn't make it something to judge people on and say that it makes them not as good of people. People do tons of 'unnatural' things. Do you think cars are natural? Man made clothes aren't natural. Is it natural for people to make themselves throw up? Anorexic and Bulemic people get sympathy. Why don't cutter?

It does help in a wierd way that really does only make things worse.

After you don't cut for a few weeks, and get over a few times when you want to, it gets easier not to.

JJ, if seeing sharp objects makes it so tempting, why don't you get rid of them? Take them out of your room so you don't see them so much...

Well, uh, this is long kinda, so I'm gunna shut up now.

Michelle i agree with u about everything.. but I cna't get rid of shap things they r everywhere in my kitchen room bathroom at skool .. everwher

but i agree with you 100% "Anorexic and Bulemic people get sympathy. Why don't cutter?" i don't think that either of them should. But i do agree

I disagree ... i think (just my opinion) that cutting is normal. If not then why do so many people do it? Adults have forgotten their children -i know this for a fact-.And cutting because you mom is a bitch isn't a reason. It might be how she treats one or something but not just because she is mean... do you understand? And yes I do agree that the scars will haunt you. When you look at them you remember all the times you cut and what you were feeling. But I personaly do think cutters are misunderstood or everyone would know why they cut...

~ShAtTeReD*HeArT~

umm normal? what really is normal?

i know what you mean jessica

i agree with jessica... well bob.. is holding it in natural is yelling at people because your mad natural? i don't think so.just my opinion

~ShAtTeReD*HeArT~

All this fustration. Not everyone does it for attention. You ppl on here are the only ppl that know I do cut. You guys help convince myself that it's something I should never reveal to anyone I care about. People take it the wrong way. As whoever was saying above, they said it was a shout for help. Well I don't want to shout for help so I keep this to myself. All of you are mainly looking for an answer to the question, "why do ppl do it?" There's so many reasons. Everyone has their own reasons. Now we come to the question, "is it normal" Do you honestly think that everyone is going to agree one way or the other? They're not going to. Here's my opinion, if you even care. People like myself who cut or hurt themselves do it to relieve themselves from the pain they hide. Everyone has their way of dealing with shit and cutting is our way to deal with it. If you really think about it, everyone hurts themselves one way or another because of pain, stress, or anything like that. Some depressed ppl eat a lot, some ppl exercise themselves too much, some ppl smoke, do drugs, or drink, All these ppl do this because they think it makes things better. And because they think that, it DOES make them feel better. It's all in your head.

Wow sorry if i bored you. That was long but ppl here just push my bottons =S

I agree with Kayla

We know it is a problem but I'm just saying that isn't not like it isn't natural....

There's no excuse. I'll use myself as an example so I don't affend anyone. I do it simply because I find it relieving, others may disagree with me. Even if it is "natural" it's harmful. Some ppl just dont care what is harmful to their bodies, they do what they want. Call it dumb if you feel the need but that's just how some ppl think.

violax, you don't have a self-mutilation problem do you? Because I think honestly if you did, perhaps you would understand that we're not trying to say it's okay, we're trying to tell others that they're not alone and that they can get help along with millions of other ppl that do it.

I agree.. I don't really care what I do to my body.. I like the pain and to see the redness when I cut ( I know that sounds weird).

I agree with Kayla!!!! She put it perfectly. Thank you hun! :)

I think kayla can speek for most cutters...

Why do you all argue with violaxcore and get angry with him so much.

He isn't trying to piss you all off.

He's obviously trying to help.

Over all he seems to be saying that cutting is bad and that cutters should get help.

And if he posted this many times, he must care to some extent.

i agree with Julianna_Jj about bob...

But I wasn't trying to be mean to violaxcore I was juist saying that I think Kayla can speak for alot of cutters.... I wasn't trying to be rude but if I was I appoligize violaxcore...

~ShAtTeReD*HeArT~

#2 i have a natural particular character to CUT, lol just stop fighting and leave us be.

Its not just our fault we cant stop. This is long but it my help you understand why you can't stop or just why you want to do it so bad.

The body can become addicted to self-injury
Copyright, Beth Azar, Original location

A chemical process may prompt some people with mental retardation to harm themselves physically.

Some people who repeatedly injure themselves may actually be biochemically addicted to biting their arms, banging their heads or otherwise brutalizing themselves, research finds.

http://www.psyke.org/articles/en/body/index.html
Go here to learn more

Self-injurious behavior is particularly prevalent among people with mental retardation and is one of the primary behavior problems preventing them from leaving restricted settings at home or in-care facilities. Treatment and care of these patients is costly: an average of $150,000 per year per individual in residential settings, according to Curt Sandman, PhD, of the University of California-Irvine.

An emerging line of research suggests that at least some of these people might respond to self-injury much like people respond to addictive drugs; the self-destructive behavior triggers several chemicals in the brain associated with addiction and euphoria.

If researchers deactivate these chemicals with medication, they see marked decreases in self-injurious behavior.

Such a biochemical mechanism could help explain why behavioral treatments that teach communication skills and alternatives to self-injury work well with some people but not with others, say researchers.

Thank you Juliana Ji we all have to help eachother out don't we. Besides he driving me nuts.

lol

Why are you in here your just pissing everyone off, i wouldn't mind you expressing your opinion but its getting to the point of pure harrasment!
