Why do people cut????

To focus on another pain rather than the one that grows in our hearts that will soon kill me.....depression.

They think it helps. They think if they cut away soon all there will be is pain physically. But not emotionally. Look.. you did it only 7 times. You're not an offical 'cutter' ok there are people that do it everyday! Just to feel that pain and to focus on it and no their emotional pain. But both pain is growing. It doesn't help. But people do it! Because they think it is washing away the other pain but it isnt. It's just killing them.

regret...shame, hate, feeling your not good enough.
basically sadness of a great amount is what usually causes the beginning of cutting.

Quiting is hard. physical pain is easier to deal with than emotional....so once it becomes a habit its not as easy to quit as it sounds

AHHHHHH She's asking the same questions over and over.. STOP IT. People cut to try and ease the other pain in their hearts! THAT'S WHY!!!

I cut because I feel that it is one thing that I can control in my life.

So many people pressure me into behaving in a certain way at College, Work and Home that I need an outlet for my worries.

Cutting seems to help, but sometimes I wonder if it controls me, instead of me controlling it.

I did because you reach a spot were no one can help you and there is a 15ft wall all around you and it the ony way for me to get the anger out because I thought I was all alone

I was sick of the hypocites that called themselves my friends and this seemed like my only opption

BOy was I wrong
