Why I Started (and continue) To Cut

[xXdamienXx]

I started cutting for a few reasons, I never (and still don't) had very high self-esteem and I was bullied a lot to compound this issue my father is not a good listner by any stretch of the imagination it was always what he wanted to talk about it seemed like he never gave a shit about my intrests and i guess i never learned how to cope so i started cutting about a year ago soo thats it (just needed to vent I guess, post your stories or comments or not)....

I'm sorry to hear that however not many people know why they started so if you have underlined the problem then that makes it so much easier to stop :) xx

i started because it calmed me down ,it stopped me from killin myself , it was a way to punish myself when i did sumthing like accidently hurting my friends, it pretty much replaced every bad habit i had, the feeling you get 5-10 minutes after a cut (i'd describe it as icy cold burning, if that makes any sense) is amazing, someonelike me deservves the cuts, and i love it (although i hate it)

i know why i started but i dont think its easy to stop like i said i never really felt valued or important so that along with the other reason is Y I cut....

I started cutting to punish myself. Also because I'm angry and I have to hurt someone, so I hurt myself. It's really not to cope or whatever.

I started cutting because I wanted to. I had no reasons to cut. Although about 1 week after I started I got some reasons so then I stopped feeling so guilty about my little secret habit.

I started becuase I was bullied most of my school life so it was a way of punising myself, just helped me take my mind off it i guess

I started burning my accident althouhg i had tried to cut before when i was a few years younger. I was going through stress at the time but it was just the unluckiness that i happend to accidentally burn myself while i was in that state :/ I kind of got facinated by the marks it made on my skin and i still have the scars from the burns i made on that first night now. My burning developed into cutting but i still don't really have any idea why exactly i started and how it makes me feel better. i gues it just... does :/
