Cutting as a last resort...

[EternalSadness]

I only cut as a last resort. It's the only thing that could possibly help me anymore which is why I do it. I've tried a lot of other things but they don't work anymore, so I only have cutting. When I first cut I didn't feel much so I never carried on, but now it's my only hope, so I desperately go to that to make me better, even if it doesn't really. I just wondered if it is that way for anyone else?

I was the same. My first cut was cause I had no where else to go, but if I were to cut these days it would be a sign of relief rather than a last resort.

That implies you're getting better then?

Well...kind of. I was but this summer didn't go too well because I'm stressing AS results. I am getting better currently though. I'm slowly getting over it which is always a good thing :)

AS as in first year of college in the UK? And well I'm sure you'll do fine, don't expect your grades to be as perfect as you may like because its a much harder course!

may I ask why your cutting? is it anger? self guilt? if you tell me this I can give you some advice, you need to distract yourself with something appropriate to why your cutting:)

Well I do it because it's my only chance to feel anything at all, every other possibly outlet has been tried or isn't something I am in a position to try. :/ it's not really anger, I do it to try to feel anything. If I do feel anger then I may want to cut if I've screwed something up, but otherwise no.

I'm the same way. Don't worry, you're definitely not the only one. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing left going for me, and that cutting is the only way to escape those feelings.

Well that's nice. :) and I'm sure you do have a lot of things going for you. Why wouldn't you be nice?
