u cut then plz read this!

[Breakeven]

so hey , this for people who cuts i was reading here and its sad to see all those people cut :(

for all of u who cuts , dont you think u should stop? i cant make u stop , it starts with you , i know the feeling it makes the pain go away and its amazing but take a look at the scars u have im sure u remember all the pain but is it really worth it?
think 10 to 20 years from now when you are way older and u have kids and they will ask you about ur cuts , what are u going to tell them? i used to take a knife and cut my skin coz of my damn life
do u know the cuts when u cover them with clothe to hide them there is a big chance they will get infection and that sometimes kills!!
or when u cut too deep and bleed till DEATH! then what? u will be alone and dead
u can make your self happy without anyone
fuk the haters and the people that gives u pain , fuk the drama and all the bs , just dont give a damn about it
LOVE YOUR SELF and Remember It Will Get Better!!
i cant make u stop but i will hope u will
if i knew what i know now! i would have never cut
we only live once so why do we spend it crying and hurting ourselves if we can just smile :) and not have a care in the world :cool:
write ur pain , go for a walk , find a way or better yet CHANGE UR LIFE!
you are still young stand for yourself , do something about it before its too late coz it starts with cutting then suicidal thought's and then what? death right?
u really wanna die? people think death is better then life sometimes
but really what do u know about death , have u ever thou it might be way worse then life? where ur just alone ? u dont know whats death is like so dont wish it! or think about it!
cutting ur self is like tell people , they won , they got u hurt and broken and full of scars , well are they fuking worth a scar on ur skin? HELL NO! so dont let them win and ruin ur skin , whatever happens and people its just not worth it

"Skin is beautiful, don't ruin it with scars just because your life isn't as beautiful. For once life becomes beautiful to you again, your skin wont be so beautiful"

and i really hope this helped someone!
btw im not trying to be rude or anything! just sayin

i love that you are trying to help us, but it isn't that easy. some people just cannot stop..

[georgiamay]

I really appreciate that you're taking the time to make this thread to try and help people. It does make me feel better when I realise that some people actually give a shit.

The truth is though, it's not as simple as knowing the negatives of self harm and the positives of stopping. The majority of self harmers know that anyway. The only thing that's going to make people stop is if they can find another outlet for their emotions, or to work out what's going on in their life that makes them want to hurt themselves and to do something about it. Simply knowing that it's not good for you doesn't help much, it can actually make a person feel worse then they know that they should stop, and they know why they should stop, and they just feel like they can't.

some people just cannot stop..

I'm going to be a pain and just say something here... Everyone can stop, we all have it in us, it's just a matter of pushing through it. We're not always going to need to cause ourselves pain to get through the day. Everyone can stop, but it's definitely not as simple as just deciding to.

[beebs]

I appreciate your just trying to help, but i dont think you really understand cutting.

So im gunna answer all of your rhetorical questions, to give you the insite to self-harm.

Most people want to stop, but cant its a addiction. I want to, i know i should, that doesnt mean i will.

I dont care about scars, im fine having them, there battle scars.

What am i going to tell my kids? Well no one will ever love me, so i will never have kids. Or i will have commit suicide by then.

Bleeding to death? I want to die.

Im already suicidal, death ends everything. All the pain, its gunna be great.

And everyone in my life has got to me, they have won, i dont even want to fight them anymore.

So basically i dont think many people are going to find this helpful. Just saying oh you should stop. People need motivation, i dont have it, and thats why im still tearing my self up.

[rukia_yua]

I appreciate the genuine concern but......it is almost impossible. Just the fact that you think you can help someone.....is sweet but highly improbable

[Noxail]

Such a nice thought, but I have to agree. This isn't going to help at all. Cutting is somthing so complex, so twisted and distorted, that somthing so simple cannot fix it. Addictive cutters are like taffy, you've seen people twist and pull and work it right? Well the only way to make it smooth again is to keep on going through the same complex steps, not just pulling us straight out, then all you have is pulled out, folded over, loopy sticky stuff. I do not blame you for not understanding, because to put it simply, you pysically cannot understand until you've been in the state another has. But thank you so much for the thought of this great thread <3

[Black.Veil.Brides]

i cut bcuz i love the pain. i cut and burn and even staple myself sometimes. its something some ppl do. and theres not a fucking thing wrong with it. its our way of life. its not always to relieve stress... i do it for the pain and bcuz im that kinda person.

[BassSwagg]

well for me, its not a want that controlls me cutting or not cutting, it has now turned into an almost animal need. Its not about other "haters" hating me, its about me hating myself. Its not easy to just stop for me, i cant just stop, even if i wanted to and I already have a son and hes only 2 and he already seems to know what my cuts are. he'll touch them with his little hands then he'll look and me with the most sad look on his face and say "mommy oww" and i would do anything to whipe the pained look off his face everytime but I still cant stop cutting. and as for the leading to "acidental" death, im not too worried about dying, actualy i welcome death, i wont perpously lead him to me, but if he comes, that would be delighful.

[TeddyBearRock]

For some people it's the drug that let's you escape the world and life they hate

[Ryukie]

The sentiment's nice, and taking the time to write that for us is very caring, so thank you (:

However I do have to agree with the others. Self harm can be as addictive as smoking and whilst I'm sure everyone CAN give it up, actually DOING that is a whole 'nother pancake.

[Sleepwalking]

I appreciate you caring, if thats what it actually is.
But not everyone will see it the way you do. You have never cut, (I'm guessing), so you won't know where we're coming from. Yes, people "can" stop, but not everybody wants to. Its an addiction to me, and many others, so it isnt that simple as you have stated.
Not be be rude, but why do you even care if people self-harm? It isn't up to you to decide if its right or wrong, or to stop us.

[Amlykax3]

Its probably the hardest thing ever to try and tell yourself to stop. Its thats release that is so addicting. I wish that it was easy to think about the future and how many scars it will leave...but it just isnt that easy.

[ShootingStar]

It's nice of you to try an help other people :). Unless you've ever cut yourself (which I'm hoping you haven't!), it is very difficult to understand the emotions going through a person's head in order to make them cut. It's complicated an it's addictive. But it's nice that you're trying to help :)
ss...x

[Haleyzmont]

Thanks for taking your time and sharing your helping thoughts with us. No matter what people say it won't change most people into stopping to cut. There is still gonna be crap in their lives that they can only deal with by cutting, such as me. I am far too helpless and shy to ask for help from anyone, no one knows i cut, i always come up with a good excuse with my cuts.
Even though i come up with excuses about my cuts i wear them loud and proud, because i know someone is going to think outside and, further than my dumb excuses and will realise i am in pain.
I need someone to come to me and talk to me, and just listen to me. I am helpless, and hopeless otherwise.
But thank you for each and every one of your kind words it maked MY world as good as it can get. Well if i think about it thats like 3% better :/

God dammit your post made me cry. :'( I've only seen you around VT for a few days, but I respect you a lot. You seem to have gone through so much, and to me you're incredibly strong. Please don't give up :( .

Thanks :/ and yeah ive had it pretty rough but will NEVER give up. Im to stubborn to completly give up. cuttings a crutch, not saying its healthy but its A LOT better than what i used to do (smoking H, tryying to acctualy kill myself, ect). its an overused saying but with my mental dissorders (Manic depressive, delusenal thinking +others) its true; our scars remind us that the past is real, i can barly remeber anything in my life without contant reminders from other people but my and its true my scars remind me of what ive been thro in my life...

Serriously, if you need ANYTHING, please PM me, im always open to listen to ANYTHING

[Roses_Are_Yellow]

I know you're trying to help, and it's really sweet, but it honestly isn't as simple as that. I haven't cut since April of 2011, but some days are still a struggle. Cutting...it's this sick addiction that just, I don't know, it brings this high feeling almost. The physical pain, it distracted me from the emotional mess I was. It seemed as though that the one thing keeping me from having a break down was cutting my self. It served as an outlet for me, because I absolutely HATE having to talk about my feelings, because whenever I would tell people what was on my mind, they would hurt me with it in the end. Looking back on it now, I think I just wanted someone to see how much pain I was going through, but nobody ever did. Then that caused me to hurt myself more, because I thought that since no one in the world cared about me, then what the he'll was the point? I hated my self with burning passion, and it was a way I could punish my self for everything, even if it wasn't my fault. It was the one thing in life I was able to control, and it was something only I knew about, which made me need cutting even more. Sick? Maybe. Twisted? Probably. But honestly, without cutting I probably would have gone off the deep end. I know, it's sounds exaggerated, but cutting was the one thing that actually kept me sane. Some days, I came close to having nervous break downs, but a few cuts on my arms would calm me down.

I stopped cutting almost a year ago though. But even then, some days I'm just tempted to get my knives from my drawer and scar my arm up even more.

Thanks :/ and yeah ive had it pretty rough but will NEVER give up. Im to stubborn to completly give up. cuttings a crutch, not saying its healthy but its A LOT better than what i used to do (smoking H, tryying to acctualy kill myself, ect). its an overused saying but with my mental dissorders (Manic depressive, delusenal thinking +others) its true; our scars remind us that the past is real, i can barly remeber anything in my life without contant reminders from other people but my and its true my scars remind me of what ive been thro in my life...

I understand what you mean about cutting is a crutch and about the constant reminders of other people thing. Cutting was something that kept me sane for the months in my life where I felt like my head was going to explode. Also, I can't go through one day without having some sort of flashback moment from something I went through when I was younger. :/ You're right, each scar on us tell a story. (cheesy-ness alert) A story that life isn't perfect like in the movies, and each scar represents a moment in our life where we weren't at our best.

I'm glad you're not doing the other stuff though. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

well for me, its not a want that controlls me cutting or not cutting, it has now turned into an almost animal need. Its not about other "haters" hating me, its about me hating myself.

It's really nice that your trying to help people especially when people have no one to talk to I cut and a few of my friends no but my parents don't I have no one to talk to I feel like no one cares and I'm so stressed. That's why I cut its hard to stop ! X

[LitBlackRose]

It's nice that u try to help but I am able to control how much I don't really do it any more I might if I'm feeling SUPER depressed but I hav me friends to mak me feel happy and wanted

[Rayquaza]

Sometimes, I feel like I want the scars to get infected and kill me.

[Bath]

Thanks I'm cured

[fake_smile_repeat]

Honestly, I love the fact that you're trying to help others but as it was stated a hundred times before, its not that simple. personally, I cut to feel stronger and in more control, and sometimes just to feel the pain. I've been cutting myself for a while and its really addicting...

[Breakeven]

Thanks I'm cured
^_^ i hope

[Truth]

I appreciate you caring, if thats what it actually is.
But not everyone will see it the way you do. You have never cut, (I'm guessing), so you won't know where we're coming from. Yes, people "can" stop, but not everybody wants to. Its an addiction to me, and many others, so it isnt that simple as you have stated.
Not be be rude, but why do you even care if people self-harm? It isn't up to you to decide if its right or wrong, or to stop us. I used to cut quite often, I had the same thoughts as you do in my head.

Then I realized, I don't need to harm myself to feel good. In fact, self harm never made me feel good.. it just gave me more to feel guilty about. It didn't relieve my stress, depression, or anger - it just suppressed it and came back twice as hard the next time.

I decided I'd just try to stop cutting for the sake of my own well being, and eventually was able to just go watch some TV and relax instead. I care that other people self harm because no one should harm themselves, to achieve a fake "high" to make them feel better.

[Carly011]

I know i should stop, but i cant. When your depressed you don't think about loving yourself. You have a constant circle of bad thoughts and it is very hard to break that ring. Its way harder to stop then most people think..

[gege.x]

i cant stop .. its part of my life now :'( started about 2 years ago and iv tryed to stop im 15 and i just cant stop

[Carly011]

i cant stop .. its part of my life now :'( started about 2 years ago and iv tryed to stop im 15 and i just cant stop

I know what you mean, it doesn't seem possible to stop. Have you thought of therapy?

[Truth]

i cant stop .. its part of my life now :'( started about 2 years ago and iv tryed to stop im 15 and i just cant stop Trust me, it is possible. I did it myself. :yes:

I know what you mean, it doesn't seem possible to stop. Have you thought of therapy? Personally, therapy didn't help me much. Not saying you shouldn't try it out before judging it though.

[Carly011]

Therapy doesn't work for everyone, but for some it does. It's worth a try. I didn't think therapy would help me, and it has. I try to take whatever help i can get because i know i cant keep doing this on my own. If i kept doing it on my own i know i would end up killing myself...

[gege.x]

noo i havent thought of therapy, non of my family or friends even kno iv done this to myself i cant bring myself to tell anyone

[Carly011]

I know the telling part is hard :/ have you thought of maybe just asking for therapy because "you need to talk to someone" but not telling them about the cutting? or writing them a letter? Therapy does help for a lot of people, its really helpful to talk to someone else about all your problems and get feed back and coping skills.

[antage]

I self harm, have done for a while. I think that the reason I do it is because what's the point living when there's life after death that can be so much better? Thanks for the concern all the same. :P
