All self-harmers please read.

[Davis]

Hello Everyone.

You're probably reading this because you enjoy, feel the need, or are addicting to harming yourself. Please continue to read. I am not judging you or being rude. I'm here to help you.

Now, I've never "cut" or thought about doing it. But I have had a very hard life. From school bullying, to family issues. I am hurt and upset when I see people have done self harm to themselves. It pains me.

All of you that have cut or self harmed yourself in anyway, I am here to please ask to stop. You may find it relieves stress but all you're doing is hurting yourself, mentally and physically.

So here I am to state: You are all beautiful. No one is "fat" or "ugly" or anything. Everyone has a purpose to be here. No one is "useless" or "worthless".

Now, I may not know anyone on here personally. But I love you all. I am a very, very loving and caring person.

You are all welcome to message me, talk to me, or ask advice for any reason. But please stop the self harming.

[AppealToReason]

I appreciate this thread, but it's not that easy to stop. If asking worked for me, I'd have stopped months ago...
It is nice that you care though.

[Davis]

I know it's hard. I've heard it's addicting just like any drug.

But it pains me to see all these beautiful people with scars and cuts all over there body. I just wish I could erase them all and help them with their problem.

[AlmostHomeless]

Thanks for the concern. I wish I could just make it stop. I'm very pessimistic about quitting because I've been doing this since elementary school.

If only it was that easy.

I don't see why seeing scars on me would pain you though. I love my scars, I love how they look, I love what they mean.

And yeah, I appreciate this thread, but being called beautiful impersonally just makes me feel even more shit. I don't like it when people do that. "You're beautiful!" -sends to all-

No, I'm not.

Uuuugh, rant. Back to the first sentence-- If only it was that easy.

[Blue63]

We all appreciate the thread Dalton, but as stated before, it's not that easy to stop.

Each of us have a certain sentimental love for our scars, in some wonderfully unnatural way. Whether pessimistic or optimistic about cutting, it's an incredibly complicated issue.

And I know you want to help, but the simple fact is that it's near impossible to understand the predicament of cutting when one has never felt the urge to cut. Your empathy is both endearing and appreciated, but unfortunately not all that practical. Cutting isn't usually something that can be talked out or fixed by flipping a switch.

I hope you don't take this post as one of malice or anger, because I'm saying this with great appreciation for your support. Thank you for your concern, and hopefully now you understand a bit more. Again, I hope this didn't come off as condescending, because it was certainly not meant to.

[Davis]

I understand where you are all coming from. I understand it's hard. I was addicting to heroin for years. For years I enjoyed it and loved it. But it got to the point I was so marked up and sickly looking, I wanted change and needed to seek help. I realize cutting and herion are two completely different issues, but they have the same remarkable effect on people that care about you. People want to help you and will try to help. If I could, I would help you in a heartbeat.

To Bethany: I see your picture. I'm not lying when I say this. You are insanely beautiful. You have a smile that could light up the earth. I'm not lying either. I mean that.

As for everyone, I don't take the comments personally, or think you're rude. You're all just trying to make me understand it's difficult. Which I understand being a former heroin addict.


I wish you all the best of luck.

[princessjess]

thanks for caring(: i wish it were as easy as just stopping though. i dont want to and i dont like it but its like an addiction, and im trying to stop, just not working quite as well as i would like it to.
love you too(: and thanks again(:
jessie(:

[Totality]

If only...

I'm not ashamed of my scars, in fact - I take pride over them. - They're part of me know, its who I am, if people don't like me for them...

It's not easy to stop cutting, its extremely addictive but thanks for the sentiment.

And as I said, If only....

[MyRedHeadWorld]

I use to self harm and I did for months, and if my friends had shown as much care as you just did, Id have stopped way before I actually did :') but like people have said its not that easy. but its lovely to see some people care about those they dont know!:D

[Perfectly Imperfect]

thanks but no thanks ...
you care ...? why?

[damaged goods33]

You have no idea what cutting is about since you said so yourself that you've never done it. Perhaps you envy uys all because you haven't had the courage to harm yourself. I'm sorry to say I do not appreciate this thread I guess you could blame it on my negativity and altered perception of things. But I think its judgemental and just mean to be gus to stop you don't know us and what we've been through although it is quite nice and loving of you to do I just have a hard time believing someone really cares about what other people do to themselves. I'm not trying to be mean sorry if I come off that way. Just expressing the way I feel.

[Craig1995]

<3

You certainly do seem loving :3 xxx

Perhaps you envy uys all because you haven't had the courage to harm yourself.

If you think it's a matter of "courage" when it comes to harming yourself, you're dead wrong.

[damaged goods33]

I never said I believed self harming is all about courage I believe the exact opposite actually. I just get so fired up when people say things like that it doesn't make sense to me. It just really gets to me that someone would beg self harmers to stop self harming. All self harmers pray for the day they can go through life without hqving anything to do with self harming. I guess it really gets to me because I'm so ashamed that I self harm and the scars I bare from it. I'm incredibly sorry that my message was so illogical and awful I was really only speaking from anger and I shouldn't have. Sorry everyone!

[Davis]

I care because I am a loving person. I may not know any of you, but I've seen the damage it's done to my friends. I've lost four friends from cutting because they took it too far and just like most of you, they enjoyed it when they did it and kept going. It hurts.

[aubrin]

I feel like your religious....

[TheFuriousT]

It's not because I'm called fat, or ugly, but because I want to feel. Cutting is really the only way I can feel a strong sensation anymore. Otherwise, I'm just numb and emotionless.

[Davis]

I am not religious. In fact, I strongly believe that there is no god. If there were, why would the world be as hateful, and messed up as it is? Why would he take the ones we love away from us? It's hard to believe.

[QUOTE=Davis;1513706]Hello Everyone.

it is not easy at all to stop iv tried but then went to do it again the same day:(

you cant just stop

[XxfakexX]

Thanks for support and everything, it's appretiated, but as everyone says it isn't as easy as you think. It helps numb my emotions so quitting is a last option at the moment but im not giving up hope . I guess im sorry it pains you and im glad you dont feel badly of anyone.

[beebs]

I know you dont mean any harm but we cant just stop, we can only stop when we are ready, and when its the right time in our lifes.

[Charleigh]

Its nice that you are 'concerned', but if you havent done it then why are you here to ask us to stop something that you dont understand? Its nice that you care, but shouldnt you be trying to persuade us to get help rather than 'stop'.

It is nice that you are showing care and emotion but still
