I'm a cutter.

[yoursecretssafewithm]

So, I'm new to this site. But I saw quite a bit of selfharm forums.
I self harm.
I cut myself for reasons unknown even to myself. I know we all have our problems, but I cut for no reason. I cut when I'm happy, when I'm sad, mad, confused, depressed, I cut all the time.

I don't want to stop either.
Does anyone else feel like that? Like they love the pain so much that the thought of losing it makes you want to cut?
Maybe it's only me.

But, like I said, I'm new.
Sixteen, girl, I like girls, I'm a cutter, I have my ears stretched to an inch, my septum and nose pierced. If anyone wants to talk, I'm here and would love company.

well hi. i can't say much about the cutting for no reason, i'm sorry i think. but if it makes you happy, that's a completely different situation. i'm not saying i condone it, but if it is making you happy for now, until you find something else, it'll do.

hi! I'm bigfoot, the VT resident complain-ee. Yeah I know what you mean about having no reason to cut. I ussually have a reason but sometimes I'll cut for no logical reason. I've never been happy w. hen I cut, more of a relief type feeling. But yeah maybe you should atleast make an attempt to quit, as it isn't exactly healthy. I wish you the best- bigfoot. :)

That does sound like condoning it, a little. There are just about zero reasons a teen could give me saying that they deserve to inflict harm upon themselves in this matter. It is not ok, and it should not be done, so saying "yea, it's ok for now" doesn't work.

If you are truly cutting out of boredom, then you need to find something to do with your time. Join a club at your school, start a project you've always wanted to do.
If you cut to feel something even if you don't know what that something is, I understand that. But, it will never lead you anywhere but bad places. Sure, it'll give you a relief for a few hours, maybe even a day here and there, but what then? You just never stop?

If it's something that makes her happy, and the only thing that makes her happy, then it's better than someone committing suicide. Sorry for being unclear.

Honestly sometimes I feel like cutting when I'm not even upset.. Maybe because it's an addiction maybe because I'm just twisted I don't know...
