First time ever trying it

[nnssnn]

Today, I put a knife to my wrist for the first time ever. I didn't cut, but I almost did. It just felt good. I wrote a blog about it, if you wanna read it. It's kinda long, i just had to get some things off my chest. If you have tumblr, we should connect, and kinda talk...

Well, thank high heavens you didn't. It's not something you ever want to start.

Cutting isn't worth it. It's an addiction, and it's so much easier not to start than it is to stop. I suggest you stop before it gets any harder than it is probably already going to be.

If you carry on cutting, the cuts will get worse, they'll leave scars. You'll end up having to hide your arms from parents, friends- everyone. It won't just be your arms either, your cuts will spread when you run out of room. It's not worth all the hassle and trouble it causes you. Yes it's a release for 2 minutes, but after that it's just another problem.

Never start cutting.

Its Addictive - You can't wait to get you next cut.

I was cutting for about a year before thinking to myself - `WTF?!?! Am I doing this for`

Believe me, its better to leave the knives in the drawer.

Like everyone else has said im going to tell you again.. as you cant hear it enough.

Its not worth it, its just another problem, an addiction that builds up and up, you get worse and worse until you do something stupid.

Dont do it, find other ways to cope

ill just stress this point now..

When I quit Cutting - I turned to Creative Writing.

There are so many ways you can cope better than cutting.

It's not worth ruining your life.

Please don't start cutting... When pain is caused in your body, your brain releases natural drugs called Endorphins. You become addicted to these just like Marijuana, Cocaine, or any other drug. You'll just want more and more. Deeper and deeper... Yes, cutting makes you feel better. But it's only a temporary release. You will feel regret for the rest of your life every time you look at your scars. Every time you look at yourself. I know because I've done it. I completely regret it.

Don't do it. Find a better way.

I really appreciate what everyone has to say. Thanks. I'll try to leave the knives in the drawer.

Please don't cut yourself. Yes, keep those knives in the drawer.It isn't worth cutting yourself for whatever reason it is that you are doing it.Look for something else to get your feelings out or feel good, like writing as Celisuis did.
