first time

[ryanno18]

I just cut myself for the first time. I used a razor. I always told myself that i would never do it but life just caught up with me. i felt so clear in the moments after i did it, so tell me, is it worth it?

No, it's not worth it. It helps a lot, but only for a few moments. You focus only on the pain of cutting and just pay attention to the mutilation. Watch the blood flow and it mesmerizes you, puts you in a trance so you don't think about life. But that only last as long as the pain, which is very brief. Then you have to devout everyday to making sure people don't see. If you let your guard down for even a second someone will notice and then they will question things. Then you can't be left alone and teachers and your parents find out. The work to keep the cuts and scars hidden is exhausting. It drains you even more than being depressed. It's not worth putting yourself through all of that work to hide the scars and cuts when cutting only takes away the pain for a little bit. And the possible consequences are even worse! Infection, cutting a major artery or vein, becoming addicted, people finding out...and the list goes on, it isn't worth it and I advice you to stop now before you become dependent on cutting.

Hope everything gets better.

No it doesn't because whatever made you cut yourself is within you, so you are the bigger person here, the BOSS. I am sure you can handle it without cutting yourself. Try exercises, jogging, gym especially if you feel down. I hope this helps.

No, continuing it is not worth it. It relieves mental anguish, but only for a little while. It eventually eats away, and then you are sucked in. Try not to do it again, fight it or talk to someone about your problems that led you to harm in the first place :/

No, throw it away, get rid of it, remove that from your life before you're in too deep. It is an addiction, it becomes you, it becomes all you think about, it becomes a reaction to every shitty little thing that happens and the scars, the blood, the pain, just aren't worth it. Nothing is worth hurting yourself over. Not those 'wonderful' 5 minutes when you do it and certainly not the craving once those 5 minutes have passed. You're better than that. Don't, just don't :hug3:
