Is everyone insane???

What is with cutting? My life is shit but I don't cut myself...if someone is hurting you I could understand why you would cut them but what the hell is the point in cutting yourself? Mind you I have a friend that does it who I am sympathetic for but still...I think it is a crazy thing to do...it's like suicide, like saying you can't handle things-get a grip-preferibly not on a knife for a change.

:~) lolz! I think...*runs away from crazy person*

Yep, I think it is just so talked about now that people in pain think-what the hay I will give it a go. But the sane ones then think-what the hell was the point in that?-and stop.

That's because it is wrong:) But you know that already so.....

LOL

What's the "Rat Pack" anyway???

Everyone is insane...That is the answer to the first question...

Secondly...I don't know why people cut themselves...It hurts just thinking of it. I feel bad for people who feel cutting is the only way out, because it really isn't.

Were all insane, and we deal with problems in different ways. I think just lean back and watch life instead of doing something. Some people drink, or do drugs, or cut themselves. But I just sleep. I had a bad day... sleep. My parents hate me... sleep My g/f just broke up with me... sleep. Who says your dreams arent just as real as life. Make it all better with sleep.

Or maybe not even sleep, maybe go out for a run or a bike ride, watch a show you really like, call up some friends and go play baseball or hopscotch or whatever. You have to improvise. Cutting, smoking, sniffing, drinking, all those slow death things, can easily be avoided if you just TRY. Sleep can't be for everyone, because some people have insomnia and some simply can't sleep during the day, but there's always 'doing something' to take your mind of your problems, and you seriously have to focus on whatever you're doing, so you can forget.
I am a former cutter, it hasn't even been a week yet, and I'm very weak, and my boyfriend dumped me saturday night, and then said it was my fault...as much as it hurt, I didn't go cut this time, I didn't get off the computer, I just stayed here and I talked to my friend about something totally irrelevant(sp?) to keep my mind occupied. If you set your mind to quitting, you truly can do it. If I can, I seriously believe anyone can...I may not had been cutting for a long time, but I was surely about as bad as someone who had been cutting for 5 years.
POINT BEING. Yes, cutting is stupid, but people who do it are not crazy, they just feel lost and confused in our CRAZY world.
And plus, how do you know they aren't the "sane" ones and you are the "crazy" ones? They give definitions for crazy and sane, but they don't specify any one or any group. I'm just saying, think about it.

ps. Kristen your post rocked! And hey everyone =D

Im insane :D:D:D:D But randomly....no specific reason...just because im slightly off my rocker :D lol.

Personally I think people that don't self-harm will never completely understand why ''cutters'' do it.

I agree Crimson, before I started I never understood why people did it. I had done it in the past but didn't understand what was going on. When I started again a few months ago I realised fully why people do it.

I didn't say you don't understand. I just think you don't FULLY understand the feeling and ... realease ... it gives people. This is never going to be concluded, and is a very 2 sided arguement so there is no point carrying on.

I used to cut, but have stopped now.

After I was diagnosed as having Breast Cancer earlier this month cutting seemed to be so pointless. I guess I'd rather focus my efforts on something else.

However that does not mean that I am condemning all cutters or anything like that. I understand the reasons why other people may still feel the need to cut. I think the saying 'each to their own' seems to fit well here.

If people want to cut they will regardless of what other people think or say. Therefore it is only the cutter that can stop and start this habit.

Nici

i used to do it and i understood, but when you have done it and than stopped doing it, you look back and think, 'what the fuck was i doing?' because everyone else is right, it is a stupid thing to do, and it does shit all, punching a pillow would work, i know it is because you think you deserve to be hurt, but you don't and no one does, so cutting is a fucken stupid thing to do!!! lol, sorry about that...cya

u cant understand cutting until u go through it so i dont think u shood b so quick to judge

alone in the dark,

Look. I can understand cutting though i've never cut. I can. I can understand that if you cut, you have a negative look on life and you let everything get you down. You slice away at your wrist and body to "release the pain," though you're actually adding more pain to yourself. It is pathetic and useless, face the truth.

And don't think that just because I don't cut, I don't know what pain is. Everyone goes through stuff, but some choose (ex. cutters) to ruin their life even more by cutting. Everyone can have a hard time. The thing is, do you choose to cut yourself up because of the pain or move on? Those who cut are being stupid. Cutting is a choice and a stupid one. There.

Alone.....none of us are that stupid.

Just do something else instead. I just deal with my pain, yeah im in agony but im not going to start hurting myself. If you are in real agony then I fail to see how the pain of cutting will release your pain-its bull. So why bother?
