cutting warning

[kiki776]

:banana::banana2:im thinking abt cutting myself, should i?

[Aspiringanonymous]

Of course not. You should know by now, that we are a community which strongly discourages any act of self-harm. Read through the stickies and other threads in this forum - be aware of the harsh reality of the issue. Cutting is no casual business, it is not something that can be carelessly experimented with - the consequences of that first cut are severe and far-reaching.

No matter what lays behind your desire to turn to self-harm - making this decision won't make things any easier.

[Marcie]

Simply put, NO!!
It's a terrible idea. It doesn't help anything, in fact it actually makes everything worse.

[screamtobeheard]

Never. And judging by the fact that you're asking us if you should, I think you know subconsciously that it's a bad idea. Honestly, it doesn't make anything better.

[Huskyboy132]

Nonono Very bad idea.

[kiki776]

how?

[chelsay13]

How would it be a horrible idea?
Well, it's addicting to say the least.
Not to mention the risks...hospitalization....scars, and how would you explain to your kids 15-20 years from now why there are scars on your wrist?
Cutting is risky, and trust me, I have finally gotten to the point in recovery when I realize I don't need it.
Go for something else to vent. If you really need pain, squeeze ice cubes, do a sport, exercise, color [which sounds stupid, but you can get really into it], etc.
It will be a huge mistake if you do it. You will end up struggling and hurting those who are close to you. It isn't worth it, I swear. You WILL regret it later on in life.

[starbrite5]

Don't. Just don't. Even the thought of doing it becomes an addiction in itself, not to mention the actual act. Self harm isn't some casual, 'maybe I should' thing. It can very quickly become a dangerous obsession. And it most definitely makes whatever you're going through worse.

[Asylum]

.......hun seriously? self harm is not the way to go... read the BEFORE YOU MAKE THE FIRST CUT post... it explains all

[MadManWithaBox]

......................I'm sorry. You're seriously asking this question? In such a flippant manner? Seriously?

[kiki776]

infanant matter?! wat u talking abt?

[Mattasaur94]

... Is this actually serious?
What is a GOOD reason to actually cutting yourself?
There are none. There's always a more recreational way to vent your emotions.
Cutting IS addictive, it's bad for you, there are so many risks that go into it.
If your a thirll-junkie... Then go sky diving. Learn how to do backflips or something...
Cutting yourself is bad... I don't see why you would ask a question as such unless you were just seeking attention... Sorry, but that's my opinion.

[kiki776]

i just wanna know if 9 should or shouldent! ive had a ruff life! i cant take not doing anything to defend myself WITHOUT getting hurt! [cries on da inside] and how iz it addicting?!

dat 9 should b an i

[Cloud]

how?

how is tearing a hole in your own skin ever a good idea?

[MysticalBurrito]

I'm sorry but this post really annoys me...
Have you not seen the posts of other people battling cutting? It's not something to play around with.

[Wish]

I think you know, because you're asking, that self-harm isn't a good idea. I'm not going to dwell on that.
Why do you think that it would be beneficial to you right now? Read the stickies and other warning label posts, although you won't think it can happen to you it will do. Self-harm is addicting and detrimental to your health. Please make the right decision. People care about you too much for you to start causing yourself such physical pain.

[georgiamay]

seriosly don't. PLEASE read some of the other threads before you do. they say just how terrible self harm is.

and it won't make anything better, it will only make it worse. Not only will you have to deal with what is already going on with your life, but you'll have to go out of your way to hide the marks, and you will be in a constant state of shame. you WILL be ashamed of it, which will just be another negative emotion that you will have to deal with.

just read the other threads before you self harm, and they will probably change your mind when you see how devastating it is to people's lives.

[MaliciousBunface]

its a stupid idea..y put urself thru pain wen u can do sumthn else painless... y dont u find a hobby or hang out with friends more instead..just dont cut urself andnever think its a gd idea

[starbrite5]

How is it addicting? For one, when you are hurt, your brain releases endorphins. So there is an actual physical side of it. But also, it soon becomes the only way of coping you know. It's a bad way of coping, but still, the only one you know anymore.

[Amyxoxo]

... I really want to slap you right now.
You obviously are not doing it for yourself otherwise you wouldn't be questioning it and would go ahead and do it.
That leaves it to you are going to do it for attention. So yeah go ahead and do it but people here actually have a problem so don't waste space .... >:(

[Sapphire]

I hate these threads. Is it not clear enough that self harm makes things worse from the experiences of members here who already caught in the destructive cycle??!!
i just wanna know if 9 should or shouldent! ive had a ruff life! i cant take not doing anything to defend myself WITHOUT getting hurt! [cries on da inside] and how iz it addicting?!
You've had a rough life (oh woe) but that is not a reason to make it even worse by self harming.
Have you not looked at this forum?! Have you not seen the pain and suffering self harm creates?!
Honestly, self harming only doubles the hurt you experience since you are being hurt by others and then hurting yourself.

Get yourself some hobbies/activities which get you exercising and socialising. These are proven to help you deal with stress better. Also, confide in your friends. They care about you and it will make you feel better knowing that you can talk with them about things even if it doesn't solve anything.

[Harley Quinn]

Should you cut yourself?

Long answer; No, never. Cutting is highly dangerous. Addictions? Well, the endorphines make your body feel like things are great, puts you on a high..but with a bad crash. When you cut it makes things seem better. But they in no way shape or form solve the problem that led you to cutting. You need help with that, it's hard and it isn't a very easy things to get out off. You know what you could do? Look around the threads in this forum, it'll give you an idea of what cutting is, and how it can affect you. That..may be a deterent. We never know. I know it helps me. Don't start. You have better ways of dealing with things instead of turning to self harm.

Short answer: no.

[kiki776]

u no wat some of ur "comments" hurt!!

[Cloud]

u no wat some of ur "comments" hurt!!

and your point is?
if you wanted us to agree with you and say what you wanted to hear then your at the wrong place
but you wanted help
and even if it does hurt, were still right
so try listening to what were telling you

its a stupid thing to get into
and even if you have had a 'ruff' life, are you expecting everyone elses to have been easy
pretty much all of us have had a rough patch in our lives, thats why alot of us are here
so try listening to what were saying, since were the ones with the experience,

[kidkizzet]

u no wat some of ur "comments" hurt!!

sometimes the best words are harsh ones. my m8 said some words to me that hurt but it was for the best cuz they help. sometimes hurt is the only way to make you realise things.

dont cut. if you do then you're only going to make things worse for yourself in the long run. trust me, im battling with myself to stop cutting, its one of the hardest things ive ever done.

[kiki776]

well i get my feelingz hurt easily, dats y wen some people so "joke around" abt me, i take it 2 da heart. and im terrified of my cousin. but theres a different forum i got 4 dat!

[Sapphire]

u no wat some of ur "comments" hurt!!Pay attention to the bits that can help you improve things then instead of getting all upset because someone over the internet has hurt your feelings.
Take this for example...
Get yourself some hobbies/activities which get you exercising and socialising. These are proven to help you deal with stress better. Also, confide in your friends. They care about you and it will make you feel better knowing that you can talk with them about things even if it doesn't solve anything.

[Bels_Revenge]

ummm i just want to know are you serious!!! :(

1st im sorry if you a bad life, but really your not the only one
2nd how is cutting even helping your situation, like really think about it will it make you life better? answer: no
3rd by asking people if you should or shouldnt your just making yourself look like a attention seeker and really your better then that

sorry if i was harsh but its true

[kiki776]

im not an attention seeker, or and idiot, can u just say yes or no instead of telling me, ur waisting space, i wanna slap u , and crap like dat! and if i knew it was a BAD idea i WOULDENT b asking! gosh!

[kidkizzet]

no. dont cut.

[Harley Quinn]

We as a community won't tell you to self harm.
Instead what we're going to tell you as you've seen, rude or not, that no you shouldn't.
We tell you this because as self harmers ourself, or witnesses of self harm, we're telling you the dangers so that you may be deterred from it. Although, we can not stop you if you really wanted to cut. Just tell you no.

[Amyxoxo]

Are you seriously going to tell me that self harm is a good idea?
I want to know what you are expecting when you self harm?

[OnceMoreWithFeeling]

I know what you are going through, I have a really hard year with my dad being in and out of shepard prat because of sever depression and trying to comit suiced. I really wanted to start cutting, but i read the posts here and I read about how hard it is to stop. I found other things that made me happy, I started biking more and listing to music. I found it also helpful to do stuff that incressed my inderinaline. I am here if you need to talk more about it.


(100th post!! :D )

[Hollywood]

im not an attention seeker, or and idiot, can u just say yes or no instead of telling me, ur waisting space, i wanna slap u , and crap like dat! and if i knew it was a BAD idea i WOULDENT b asking! gosh!

haley,

they're not being mean, they're just trying to help you. you know what i think of self harm....i dont. you're smart, you know what you should and should'nt do.

[Scarface]

Being brutally honest Is probably the best way for you to learn because self harm Is the worst possible idea that you can have. First of all you start off with problems and If you decide to cut you hurt yourself even more and then you still have the same problems you had before, but now you have an addiction. The point Is we are NOT going to condone any form of self harm It's just not a good idea.

[MysticalBurrito]

I'm sorry about my previous posts. This is just a sensitive subject for me and I had no right to be as rude as I was.
You shouldn't cut. Cutting is a living hell, after the first couple times you get addicted, then one or two cuts isn't enough it goes to 10 or 12. The cuts get deeper and then comes the worry of "What if I go to deep...?" or "What if the bleeding won't stop?" But you know what? Those thoughts won't stop you. The chances of bleeding out and death are high.

I've dealt with cutting for 4 years and it gets worse. I don't know what you mean by a "rough life" but if you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me anytime.

[kiki776]

That was sweet (da last poster)

[kiki776]

ok just to tell u that cutting is sooooo not addicting!!!! my bf (best friend) used to cut and she KNOWS cutting isnt addicting!!!!!!! so how IS it addicting to most of u ppls? cause i dont get how it would b...... btw my mom said that cutting is like commiting suiside!!!!! so i didnt
want to do it anymore.......

[BeautifulDisaster]

You release endorphins when you cut, you can ultimately get addicted to that chemical being released, therefore an addiction can arise.

That's the chemical addiction, the emotional addiction is relying on cutting to help you through a difficult time, and the more you rely on it, the more you will become addicted to it emotionally, and it can be a form of suicide, but accidental suicide in many, many cases, where you cut too deep & end up bleeding to death, or other methods going wrong, but usually self harming is a way to prevent oneself from ending their life.

[kiki776]

inteesting thx alot for that

[babyhottie]

dnt hurt urself about something like that so what even if no likes u not that important but the important is that u love urself and and believe in it if u do love urself every1 else gona love u cuz the way u see urself others see it the same way as u...so love and believe in urself will make every1 else do the same and dnt fukn hurt urself over anything :)

[kiki776]

im not (anymore) i dont really want to cut its stupid....... b4 i was inmature and stupid for wanting to but ifelt lonesome and not care abt soooooo i wanted to try but i wanted ppl to tell me abt it ahead of time so i could get facts on cutting

[sarah newman]

tbh NEVER self harm
even if youu have a rough life
i back up Amyxoxo here, coz it does seem like youu wanna do it for attention, and seeming like youu asked us.. OFCOURSE NOT!!!
if youu have had a rouhg lofe, then sorry, but im really tryin to not cutt right now, and its the worst thing i have done in my life. just dont. and why put a stupid question on here, when youu can obviously read some other comments of peoples posts of trying to stop doing it??

[1_21Guns]

your seriously asking us if you should cause deliberate harm to yourself, so you might feel "better"?
kinda answers the question in itself tbh.

[deadpie]

im not (anymore) i dont really want to cut its stupid....... b4 i was inmature and stupid for wanting to


So you're pretty much saying that people that self harm are immature and the idea of doing it is stupid. Thanks. I feel so much better now.

[Aceso]

There are many, many reasons cutting is addicting. I, for one, am addicted because its my only way of dealing with things. Something happens, I cut to distract myself. Something happens, I cut to release all the things bottled up inside me. You see? Bleeding is like crying the tears that dont come from my eyes. Its a release from everything else, therefore I need it. If there wasn't cutting, I would have no way of dealing with things right now, and probably try to kill myself because it all built up. Cutting is my release. Release is nice. So I cut again to feel that release again.

By the way, it would be nice if you sorted out your english and grammer, Its starting to annoy me. :rolleyes:

[kiki776]

i know how to spell. im NOT stupid!!! GOD!!!!! there is no way in hell im saying people who cu are stupid and immature!!!!!!! im just fucking having a hard time!!!! im 13!!!!1 im gonna do stupid things!!! i got alot of life to go through!!!!!! everyone makes mistakes!!!!! AND im not seeking attention damn it!!!!!!!! SO STOP DEGRADING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not cu cut

[1_21Guns]

im not an attention seeker, or and idiot, can u just say yes or no instead of telling me, ur waisting space, i wanna slap u , and crap like dat! and if i knew it was a BAD idea i WOULDENT b asking! gosh!

they're being honest. frankly if they went the nicey around it, you wouldnt pay any attention.

ok just to tell u that cutting is sooooo not addicting!!!! my bf (best friend) used to cut and she KNOWS cutting isnt addicting!!!!!!! so how IS it addicting to most of u ppls? cause i dont get how it would b...... btw my mom said that cutting is like commiting suiside!!!!! so i didnt

so your trying to say all these posters who are struggling with self harm are wrong.
she was clearly doing it for attention which is why it wasn't addtive to her.
you dont get it, because you've never done it.
nor should you ever do it.

nobody's degrading you, surprisingly for many this is a very hard topic, and when someone sees such a rediculos question, it's going to annoy them.

what part of cutting yourself is a good idea?

[BeautifulDisaster]

Maybe we should all calm down & take a step back.

I know she has said some upsetting things, & offensive things too, but she sounds pretty misunderstanding & ignorant to just how self harm really is, maybe if we all calmly offered our knowledge to her she may understand more & she won't ask such things again, or think such ways again, which by the looks of it, she seems to be understanding a bit more compared to her first post.

[LiTTleBrok3nDolly]

I'm sorry but this post really annoys me...
Have you not seen the posts of other people battling cutting? It's not something to play around with.

agreed

[BeautifulDisaster]

Do you not read threads or something?
Read her last post.
She's apologized & she understands better now.
Quit dragging this on & acting spiteful towards her.

[Kaius]

Right, as it looks like the problem is over im locking this to prevent further arguments. :locked:
