Cutting...

[xarvon1412]

Cutting, should I do it? Most would say no, but then again, they don't know the hell that I have to live through every single day. They go on and live their happy lives just acting like nothing's wrong because nothing is. There are people like me though, that have to deal with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, cutting, anorexia, and just an overall hell. These are the people that I truly respect, and they are the ones that shouldn't have to cut. They go through so much more than anybody else on this earth, and yet somehow they manage to make it through. I just can't imagine sometimes...and then I realize I'm one of them. That doesn't help me though, I know how amazing I am to get through this every single day, but I just can't think straight, so it just makes me think that I'm even more fucked up. It just makes me want to cut more, but it's so hard living with those stupid scars. Every time I want to take off my jacket I can't, because if I do I'll see those scars, those times when I was too weak. Those little chinks in my armor, and they are everywhere. It just hurts so much, but I love cutting. I love the fact that even for a small moment, the pain is gone, I am no longer sad. Then I stop cutting, and it comes back so, so much worse. It's like drugs and alcohol, you take it and it helps you for a while but then you stop and it all comes rushing back to you in a wave of depression. Cutting...I don't understand why it's so addictive, but it is. It hurts, but it does me so much good. I hate it, but I love it. It is both black and white. It can make me feel heavenly, and then quickly thrust me into hell. Cutting...it's such a confusing topic.
Sorry guys, I just have nothing to do so I figured I would get on and type away. It kind of helped, thanks for listening.

I know exactly how you feel and I'm going to be a total hypocrite and say no, you shouldn't cut. I understand how it makes you feel better, but it's really not making you better (nor is it making me better). So I urge you, lease try to stop and if times ever get too tough feel free to message me any time, I'll always be here to listen and help when I can.

I have been cutting now for 2 years and yes I do see someone about it. I was on loads of different antidepressants but they do not work for me. I was in a mental health hospital twice 2 months each time. and i do cut myself quite deep. I am here if anyone wants any advice or support on cutting themselves or with depression or mental health condition in general i just want to know that i am here for you and that i want to try an df help you ad much as i can. By the way i have been diagnosed with severe depression, ADHD, Autism and borderline personality disorder, so i understand people's thoughts and feelings please come to me for support.

Thanks

Dannie.

It doesn't help in the long run. It's just like any other craving that gives us some moments of relief. The next day you deal with the consequences which range from nothing to having to wear long sleeves all the time to others finding out and have you committed. It's not a rational choice though. You'll end up doing it if that's your relief. The only way to be sure of not doing is to not get so down. Well, i have no answer for that.

I feel for u dude. I am the same way: always depressed... but I found something. Don't let anything bring u down. Be yourself. Nobody can change that.

Don't once you start it's almost impossible to stop, try your very best to use other methods of copping. Your always self conscious you will have to hide your scars lie about them. Try to find a close friend who feels similar to you and try your best to help eachother. Best of luck, But Do Not Cut.
