Considering?

[NeverLetGo]

So, I've seriously considered cutting...
I don't know, it just seems like a good way to release and stuff..
I'm depressed as it is, but it's kinda risky...?

Take this from someone who knows If you do this there is a good chance you will get addicted no matter how much you say you wont
Do something else exercise is good as it realeases endorphins into your body they are happy hormones making you feel better

Okay, this is going to sound harsh and bitter but here we go.

Seriously if yu really want to make that first cut then you can. Its just one cut it wont do anything. and let me tell you. you will LOVE it. But afterwards, you will feel so guilty, it will eat you up. The KNOWING and not just THINKING that it is a release will lead you to do it more. It will escalate, and you will soon run out of space to cut, and will cut more on other parts. Do you want to live your life hiding your scars? or new people asking about them. Personal experience, today someone said "Look he self harms, " to which someone else said "YOUR SICK!" and then their mother said "he's got problems" Do you really want that to happen to you? If i could go back and undo that first cut, i would. i really really would.

"it just seems like a good way to release and stuff"

My. God.

I'm not even going to say don't do it because you just seem so blindly ignorant that I'm having trouble believing that you actually think this.

[MadManWithaBox]

no it isnt. if your considering it like that, so casually, then no. you'll regret as soon as its done, and it won't help you, but you'll think it does and you'll keep it doing, and you get addicted. you want to stop but you can't. you have to spend 50% of your waking hours covering up and lying to people. if your thinking about it so flippantly, you dont want it. (sorry if this was harsh but im tired, hungry, and in a really bad mood today)(

Sapphire I'm sorry but you didn't need to be so mean about it some people don't understand the issue very well and wasn't it better for him to ask rather than just do it now he knows what it's really like and the opinions of people who have gone through it.

Cutting may seem like the answer for your problems, but it won't solve anything. What you need to do is, since your depressed, go out with your friends or family and do something fun like a movie, going to the mall, and or maybe to an amusement park

Trust us, we have been through and are still going through it.

You would be silly to do it after reading from the link. Its from the announcement.

All he would have had to do is actually read some of the threads in this forum to get a better understanding of this and to see that it isn't a good thing to do. All he had to do was read people's posts to see that it doesn't help in the long term.
Asking a fucking stupid question like this is a product of his laziness. Nothing more.

I totally agree with Saphire, it is simpler to research at least a little bit before asking questions

[Bluearmy]

Don't do it! It will cause more problems then it will solve.

As for the litte chat 2 posts up. This is why this forum is so dang boring sometimes. There are a billion threads about the same thing. Seriously, I bet people could copy/paste things they have said in one thread, and still be able to use the same infomation 12 times over! It's rediculs really. READ THREADS BEFORE POSTING.

I won't blame anybody if the thread you re-made was buirred 300 pages down. But come on. Some of these questions have been answered 1000000000000s of times.

Quoted for fucking truth!
I'm so glad to see that I am not alone in this. I am all for helping people with problems on self harm because I have been there. But why these people feel the need to ask whether it's a good idea or why people do it over and over again is beyond me.

trust me, its not all its cracked up to be, yeah it seems like the obvious way to realease stress and the rest, but you just become more and more annoyed with yourself for it. Its niave to think it seems a good way to escape, yeah it feels good the first time because the adrenaline rush blocks out most of the pain and you just get a buzz, but afterwards, you get a craving that just wont go away, and you do yourself more harm than good in the end. You want to make yourself feel worse? go for it, but its certianly not the best idea.

[chelsay13]

ok, listen.
I was in your position last october. Only, I actually did it. I ended up screwing up a lot. alot, as in my LIFE friends, family, EVERYTHIGN. So DON'T...please.

[Sunshine Girl]

If i could go back and undo that first cut, i would. i really really would.

agreeing with everyone.


So... Mr.NeverLetGo

my answer would be no.. dont consider it.
its not worth it.

i think you should read http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/announcement.php?f=16&a=52 (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/announcement.php?f=16&a=52)
like nightfighter suggested.

Agreed.

Surely it's obvious that cutting is solely a bad idea and should be avoided? But to actually think about doing it, especially knowing the agony and frustration people go through to escape from self-harm must occur to you? Hmm...
