I Wanna try it... [Archive] - Virtual Teen Forums

Everything in my life is so depressing, and I can't seem to get around it. I don't know how to resist the urge to slice open my flesh, and watch myself bleed. You make it look so relaxing... I just need help. I never started cutting, and I don't want to. I just want to know how to stay away from cutting my wrists.

Could someone help? In VMs, or in this thread?

Don't do it. It's too late for a lot of us, but it's really not worth it and once you start you will get hooked. To avoid it try to think of anything else: pokemon, COD, your english homework which was due last week and you still haven't done :whoops: etc. Listen to music, call a friend, play skyrim
do an activity. Or a passivity, like watching friends

ps. why is "need to piss" in tags?

Like Alex says it really isn't worth it. It makes you feel good for A maximum of 2 seconds then you go back to shit. What's the point really, there is none.
Do things to take it off your mind. For me the thing that sometimes works is shoving on my headphones and turning my music right up and although it's likely to kill my hearing it does work. Just doing something you really care about or love to do and try to do that everytime you feel like you want to cut. Whether that's stroking a pet or painting just go and do it.

Btw if you do start on your wrists think about how many people will see, how they would react to it. Wrists are bad and I know that anywhere you cut (especially wrists) it will be hell forevermore to try and hide those scars. No more shortsleaves and shorts,mbeing careful 24/7 the paranoia. Like I said, is it really worth it?

Don't do it, no matter how tempting it is don't. Cutting is a habit that is not easily broken.

Find an activity you enjoy and do that, e.g. video games, sport, music, cooking etc.

Please don't start. Once you make the first slice, there is no going back.

You start off with "I'll just do one or two, in this spot. No more than that". Then, after 5 years, your body is covered in scars that will be there for life. It's not worth it.

First off. Don't cut! Everything said above is completely accurate.
Cutting is something that you will regret. You will constantly have to make excuses. Someone will find out sooner or later whether you tell them or not, and you will be ashamed and regret you ever started. You said you never started cutting. Keep it that way!
When you feel like cutting, distract yourself. Call a friend, take a cold shower, bounce a ball, watch TV, come on and talk to someone on here! Also, try and keep the obvious things you might use to self harm away from you. Remember that most people on here would be willing to help you, and you can always feel free to PM or VM me. And you can also PM staff members before you reach the required post count.

Also, this technique is for people trying to stop cutting, but maybe if you want to cut badly at one point, grab an ice cube and run it across your arm as you might if you were self harming. You get a sensation on your skin, and as the ice melts the water will trickle down your arm.

When you start cutting you will be:

Hooked and will find it hard to stop.

OR

You cut because alot of people do it when they feel down, and you wanted to try it. Soon the novety will wear off, and you will relsied that you made a mistake and after a while you will stop. (like me)

Don't. You will regret it, I promise. Read this (http://x-generic-war-x.livejournal.com/6742.html) , every word is true. It won't help a single bit. Of all the stupid shit I've done in my life, cutting is easily the biggest mistake.

Well it's your choice I guess. In my opinion I urge you to try and stop now before you can't but yeah, your choice.

It is vitally important that you listen to the people here. I started cutting six months ago and have just been put into therapy for trying to kill myself. It's not worth it and CAN lead down a nasty road that you don't want to go down. FIGHT the urge bro :)

We make it look relaxing? No, no we don't, you must be reading into it wrong. Yes, we admit that we get a relief from it, but if you take a look around this forum, you'll see that none of us think it's worth it.

If you've only done it once, this is the time where you decide not to do it anymore. Honestly, was it worth it? The potential scar? People finding out and judging you? Just for a few minutes of relief? No, it's really not. #

Please, please don't do it again. You have no idea how much I wish I had someone to tell me this.

If you cut for the first time you are starting an addiction which is stronger than smoking for me and alot deadlier... sneeze once cutting and ur done. Its not safe but seemed like the only way out for some of us and we took that chance and wish we didn't... don't start

Dear, Just because you slipped once, doesn't mean you can't get back on your feet. And even if it just happened once, or twice, or three times, you're in control. There are people just like you, you're not alone. If you need to vent, or simply need somone like you to talk to, I'm right here.

It's completely addictive-I wasted ten years of my life because of it. It's too late for some of us, but you still have the chance to say NO! an keep away from self harm. Find something you enjoy, like writing, or listening to music, an focus on that instead

Im 14. Self-Harm addict. When I couldn't bear to dissapoint everyone, meaning I couldnt cut, I started drinking. Again, I'm only 14. Just had a sip of beer maybe 30 minutes ago. When you cut, you're not just cutting yourself, your become addicting to so many things you don't even know about yet, and you're ruining your life and your relationships. Wanna wake up everyone morning, literally unable to even look at your own skin, you're so disgusted at the mutilation you did the night before? Don't do it. No matter how crappy things are, you're setting yourself up for so much pain that you never really had to endure.

Don't do it. If you look at all these threads you will see that most of us hate doing this to ourselves. most of us want to stop so bad. You may feel relief for a few seconds after you cut...but then in floods the guild, the shame, the depression, the hate so many emotions of self loathing. and on top of that you have scars to remind you of those emotions. that action. All of this is not worth the temporary fix, the temporary relief you feel. These emotions of self hate are stronger then the relief. it is NOT worth it. Once you start it is so hard to stop. it is an addiction. Its a horrible scary fight to regain your life.
