Looking for a cutter friend

Hi I would like to talk to a cutter.

Why do you want to talk to a cutter? I used to, before I realised how stupid I was being. You can talk to me if you want to know why people do it and stuff, but not if you're going to lecture.

I've cut a couple times... but I think it's pretty dumb and don't do it anymore. I'll talk to you if you just need someone to talk to, but no lecturing.

all right all be the brave one and tell you i am a cutter. plain and simple.. i have been on and off since i was a freshman in high school which was five years ago... you can all say what you want, tell me its wrong, that i need to stop... and ill tell you to basically shut up... you can have your opinions and what not, but DO NOT try to force them on me... i dont cut all the time.. only once in a while when i really need the release... i kept myself from cutting for quite a while.. but lately my life has been spiraling down hill and i have no control over it... so i had to turn some where.. there was no one around to turn to, so i turned to my razor blade. read some of my featured poetry and you'll get me.. otherwise dont bother trying to crucify me or whatever cuz you dont have to live in my shoes, live my life... so yeah if anyone wants to talk to me otherwise gimme a holler
my aim is philssweetheart
my email is lovecutepancake@hotmail.com

^^^ Ergh, next time just paint 'Attention Seeker' on your forehead.

To the person who begun this post, why in particular are you looking for a 'cutter friend'?

*****sigh****** im a cutter

i was a cutter for 6 years, but a couple of months ago (I have not cut for four months! YAY) my boyfriend of that time made me happy and i was able to slowly stop. He broke up with me three days ago...and i am still holding strong. NO cuts yet...hopefully i never will again. You can talk to me though...i know the drill of being a cutter.

COngrats to me or someone else? Thank you if you mean me....i am trying my best.

i am a cutter there i said it right so if u need help or just wanna talk jamesalexuk@hotmail.co.uk is my msn addy and email addy im always here.... i dnt want any bull about me being a attention seeker im not i dnt shout it out i just like to help if u knew me you would know what i mean.........

my ex was doing it and i was begging him to stop it cos it looks so scary,and my best friend has been doing it for 4 years,and i am begging you too,please stop it,it won't take your sadness away...

i cut once, before i realised...not that im going to put myself through pain, but that im actually going to put my friends through pain too...its not actually the best thing in the world, but seeing your friends worried about you (especially with my friends) thats motivation enough to stop.

I cut once and after I done it, I was ashamed of myself.
I know whats it like to see someone you love cut themselves pretty bad.
And I didn't want to do that to people.
That was about 3 years and I've never cut again.

Why would you wanna talk to a cutter?
I am a former cutter myself.
You should email me @ myspace if you have one.

why do you wanna talk to a cutter? i am a former one...*thats a secret that nobody knows*...but i finally quit cuz i was so scared that someone might find the scars and stuff. which i still have scars but no-one has said anything about them! YaY!!!! if u wanna read sad poetry about sutting and stuff just look at my poems!

i used to... the last time was last november... maybe we can still talk...

Well I started cutting two weeks ago.. My friends knew and they kept giving me lectures and since I'm not the kind of person that tells a friend to shut up, I jus listened to their lecture, I also knew how they were worried about me cutting, so in the past 4 days, I haven't cut. There is a party coming up and I don't want all these people 2 no.cuz then every1 wud look at me differently. So I told them I was gonna stop and I'm really trying to. But u can still send me a private message and ill get bak at u as soon as possible. I got Aim, MSN, and Yahoo. I'm almost alwayz online.
Ur friend,
Diana

its good that you're trying to stop. its hard to have all your friends lecturing you about it! i never told anyone except like 2 people that i actually cut myself...and they were doing it too so they didn't lecture me that much. but my biggest fear was that someone would find the scars. i have some people ask me what had happened to my arm (i did it near my shoulder so that it would be harder to see) and it was hard making up excuses for them!

just try to quit...its much easier that way!

yea thats true quiting it is good but also u still feel the need to cut. cutting is something hard 2 stop. it really stinks and it makes u get annoyed of friends who try 2 stop u. they wud say "stop, u gotta promise me that u will stop" and if ur an honest person, u cant really make that promise. it really messes u up. ahh somethings in life that make us feel good are jus wrong.

Guys-

Emails arent allowed to be posted on the forums.

Thats what the PM option is for.

Sorry this thread makes me feel sick. To the cutters out there, if you are that depressed that you physically harm yourself SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. Do not look for other depressive people that will only drag you down further. They can not help you.

*fAdInG~aWaY*, If you thought this was so sick...why did you even bother looking at it. I'm a cutter...have been on and off for a year now, and I can tell you right now, just seeing you say that makes eveything worse. You really think some of us want to cut? The only reason I cut is so that for one secound of my life I can focus on the physical pain and not the mental. I've tried therapy...never worked. So, honestly and I say this with truth and not trying to be harsh, but you need to get over the fact that not everyone is perfect and some people have a problem..I know I do and I'm not afraid to say it.

Did I ever say that everyone was perfect? No, I didn't. Becareful what you assume as I was a cutter, have been there and through it all. What it took for me to stop was my uncle commiting suicide and my family nearly falling apart. Maybe the people here should think of what the consequences would be FOR SOMEONE OTHER than themselves if cutting went too far one night. What would happen to your family? Do you think I really wanted to cut myself? Did you think my uncle really wanted to pick up his gun and shoot himself? Maybe some people should think of that.

i think FADING AWAY is right, but wrong. I agree on how it was said that we should think of the consiquences before we go too far. but i am still a cutter and i dont want to turn my back on other people like me. i am not trying to brag or get attention or whatever, i just wanna express my feelings, so please dont saay anything mean back. i have been a cutter for 1 year because..well...i was raped. it is the only way for me to express my emotions, i have tried everything else... and i mean EVERYTHING!! im not saying cutting is good, i think that i will stop one day, just not right now, im not ready. if any other cutters wanna talk im here, i may be young, but i have gone through it all.

oh, to answer almost everyones questions, i wanna say that cutters wanna talk to cutters because they are the only people that understand what we are going through. it just helps us cope and get out our emotions(instead of cutting at that very moment) so, if all of you anti- cutters would just kinda leave us cutters alone and mind your own life, that would be GREATLY appreciated!

anti-cutters. LOL.
you think just because we don't leave marks on our wrists everyday, we haven't been through ANYTHING? maybe we could help you, if you didn't try and single us out, like you're the people who have it hard and we don't.
soooo you want to talk to people who relate with you, but can't actually HELP you in anyway at all, because they're in the downs too?
MM okay I'll leave you to that.

I was also rapped and I tried everything I could but it seemed that cutting was the only thing i could do to stop thinking about it and everything else that is f***** in my life..
