im trying to understand

[fifi]

ok so i am desperately hoping that this question won't offend anyone but i was wondering what goes through your head while your cutting? I don't mean that in a mean way i just literally mean what thoughts go through your head while cutting, i've read some stuff on cutting and it goes through the physical aspect and the risks but not really the emotional or mental. I can understand why people cut to an extent but i am curious about this.

well its not that we want to cut, we feel we have to cut because of all differant reasons, stress, abuse, school work, friends, partners, anger ect..

its like a voice in my head telling me to cut and if i dont i get really angry which makes me desperatly need to cut more. so if i wait until i get to this point i cut more than i would when i first feel the urge to cut.

its nothing you can just start and quit. its hard..
need any more info pm me x

hope i helped:D

yeahh, i'm pretty much the same. My ex thought i was being selfish & asked if at any point whilst doing it did i think 'no jess. dnt do this. it's wrong'...but to be honest, i don't think that, it's just whatever emotion that's causing me to do it. It's just a form of getting relief so usually I feel quite happy whilst doing it. xx

It relieves my stress, for the fact i have to take care of the cut instead of worry, feel the pain of the cut instead of thinking about life, etc. I don't do it much, i only do when i can't take it anymore. I also need to hide them. D:

It depends. Sometimes before I do it I think "don't do this, becky" but then while I do it, I just want to keep going and going, and I don't really think about it, I just concentrate on doing it.

Nothing its like my mind goes blank i dont think about anything but the cut, it sort of calms me down

[STAYING_STRONG4HIM]

Well I have never cut yet...but I have thought about it many times...and some of the thoughts that go through my mind are:
I don't know how I am going to get through this...I don't if I can make it another day? I am facing too much stress...
I feel really awful...
I don't know what to do anymore..
God please help me....
I think about what may have led me to thinking about doing this...
I think about all the people I am going to hurt....
but when it comes down to it... I just don't know any other way to deal with things.

I'm not really sure, but once I feel like I need to cut I can't ignore the feeling and always end up doing it sooner or later. It's always worst when I'm angry, and the more I make myself bleed the more it makes me feel better about myself again, I don't understand it myself. It's awful the next day though when my arm is a scabby disgusting mess, that's when I start wishing I could stop.
