[TRIGGER WARNING] Will cutting Help me Out?

Will cutting Help me Out?
And How?

[CharlieHorse]

I'll be honest.
Some people find comfort in cutting, however it can become addicting. For obvious reasons, cutting your skin isn't good, and it's not healthy. I think most individuals who have self-harmed struggle with it later in life when they don't want to rely on it. And scars can be haunting.
It's not worth doing. Simple as that. It's not worth hurting yourself. And trying to use hurting yourself as a coping mechanism is dangerous psychologically, and can contribute to other issues.
All in all, it's better to find something else to cope with. Get real help for the issues. Talk to a therapist, friend, parent, anyone. Helping yourself is more important.

I don't have a future and even if i do, it will suck. Soo, How can i do instead if cutting then?

[SethfromMI]

no. don't. in the end it will only make things worse. please try to go and talk to someone (a professional someone) before you hurt yourself

[Smithy3x]

I got 3 professinals, and im on god damn alot of medicine. Nothing helps. Got ADD, and im not in school. My life could not be more Fucked up so im just wondering if is across or down wards. Sorry. Im just so god damn fucked up. And i rather Hurt my self than letting People i meet or met, know that i could posibly do suicide. Thx for respond anyway.

Nobody is allowed to encourage you to cut yourself. I would strongly recommend you don't once you get started it is really hard to stop but ultimately nobody on here can stop you.

[SethfromMI]

^ this. even if we were, I wouldn't it will not work out well in the end if you start cutting yourself

[Abhorrence]

Oh and also just to put you off a bit more, imagine having to hide it every single day. It is incredibly annoying to do and every time someone catches a glimpse of those cuts you feel absolutely pathetic and you want to curl up in a ball and die even more than you already want to anyway. It REALLY does not help in the long term.

[Smithy3x]

What am i so supossed to do? stay home until i die?

[Abhorrence]

That's generally not how life works.

[Smithy3x]

I never asked for a life. Sorry if im being rude at some points. and sorry for complaining alot

[Abhorrence]

No you didn't ask for a life but you have one and you may as well not ruin it by cutting. You say that you're fucked up and stuff, now I don't know whether or not that is true but I'm telling you self-harming is not the answer. It will not help. It will not make you feel better. It will make it worse.

[Smithy3x]

What am i supposed to do then?

[Abhorrence]

Find the strength and willpower within yourself to overcome your issues. It could take years but with help you can overcome everything.

[Smithy3x]

I have no idea how.

[ChaosEarthquake]

Personally, it helps me sometimes.
But as 2 years have progressed from when I have started, I have been in many psychiatric units for months at a time, and I have attempted suicide multiple times.
It gets addicting. It gets dangerous. It gets life threatening.
Please be safe.

Excellent question... At times I feel comfort as a way to erase the severe emotional pain I am experiencing at the time.... But the physical scars will most likely stay..each one of us feel different when we cut....

[xXoblivionXx]

I'll tell you Smithy3x that in the long run its not worth it. it's kind of like a drug, at first a little bit will "help" but after doing it for so long you need to do it much more in order to get the same relief. After a while you become dependent on it, you don't know how to stop feeling what ever emotion without cutting. and it's so hard to stop.

if possible rule it out as an option for you, it's not worth it.

Like everyone said, it really, really won't help in the long run. In the moment you become addicted to it (which you will) it will even add to your list of problems and make everything worse. Please resist the temptation to start cutting and try to find something else to do as a coping mechanism. I wish you the best. Be safe!
