Do you feel that it is an addiction? Can you go a day, two days, three days without cutting?

[JoshDude]

Well i don't cut myself, but i think most people would be using razors because they are so easy to get.

[Orochiramaru]

How can you cut yourself? I would want to but I just don't have the guts.

[schrei jess]

Its not about having the "guts", it's about feeling so hurt and low, and out of control that the only way to feel somewhat normal again is to cut.

And it's easy to cut, it is the easy way out. It doesnt take guts to cut. it takes guts to get help. Cutting is the whimpy way out. I cut, and Ill admit Im running away from my problems, and even adding to them. You dont want to cut at all, it will not help you. You'll still hate yourself in the morning.

And this question is a little suspicious, almost like your asking for ideas of what to use to harm yourself. I dont think anyone should tell you - they wont be helping. If you really needed to cut, practically anything could become a tool. I was so desperate for something that one time I used the cap to a water bottle, it made a circular scar.

Ive heard of pepol using kichen knives

[greenwise]

Hmm; when i "cut"
I dont it just to get my mind off of mental pain and onto physical pain, because to me physical hurts worse than mental.

I use tacks and just scratch the skin. I dont think its cool to cut to where it bleeds; but thats just me.

[schrei jess]

It isnt cool to cut at all. Period.

And yes, anything can be a cutting tool. Kitchen knives are probably pretty common. Razor's arent very good, unless you have the razor blade, but that's just me I guess. But yeah those are easy to get, I just dont think they cut good at all.

Excuse me for asking but why do you do it then? What do you gain?

I agree with that completely, I don't think it's an appropriate question.

But sorry, that's just my opinion.

Well that's wonderful, but just to let you know, no one gives a damn what you think about a topic that you obviously know nothing about.

I dont care
thats there problem
Okay, so why does it piss you off?

[Jordo]

because ITS THERE PROBLEM that doesint mean they keep it that way they wine and bith in class and every one goes poor you omg poor you when the only reason they did that was to get attention dont get me wrong its not like I hate cutters some of them are truly addicted some are attention whores thats all

[-Silence]

Even if it is for attention, there must be something wrong that they go to that extreme of an action to get it? Maybe they aren't getting it at home. I think you're judging them alittle too quickly.

[Jordo]

yepp I agree with you on that

[Bobby]

Just because you don't cut doesn't mean it's stupid. Please respect people. We all have our reasons.

[Jordo]

I do respect peolpe I dont respect cutting the people that cut arnt stupid

[schrei jess]

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT CUTTING OR SERIOUS DEPRESSION START MOUTHING OFF AND SAYING THOSE WHO CUT ARE ATTENTION WHORES! SHUT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCKER UP!

YOU KNOW NOTHING!

Ill start with this, I wasnt looking for attention when I made my first cut, I was looking for a way to feel better. IT WORKED, it works pretty good for the moment. I WASNT TRYING TO BE COOL. NO ONE THOUGHT I WAS COOL, I DONT THINK IM COOL FOR THIS. It isnt a fucking fashion statement. It isnt a fad to follow to be with the in crowd. IT IS A FUCKING ADDICTION. LIKE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL!

I do not cut for attention, I cut because of stress and anxiety, I need to feel in control. My life is so hard for me, cutting is an escape - yes, a dumb one, but one nevertheless. I never asked people I dont even really know to go "OMG DO U CUT URSELF!!13*XZorZ?!" No. I do it for me, for me only, not for someone else to gawk at. YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND CUTTING OR THOSE WHO CUT UNLESS YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. I dont care if you had a sister who cut or a friend, YOU DONT GET IT. I especially hate when like books try to explain it to you, people who arent in the mindset of cutters WILL NOT UNDERSTAND. Period.

You look at someone who cuts and think, gee, what a loser. They must just want people to feel sorry for them and give them attention. No. Most likely, they have a very difficult time just getting by every day. Cutting is a release for all the shit. Cutters are not losers, they are those who have lost themselves, they are those who lost and alone. You calling them attention whores, losers, or whiners WILL NOT JUST MAKE THEM STOP. Insults will not just make them "snap out of it".

I am so pissed off right now, I cant even come here and not find people giving grief to people who cut. This is supposed to help us, not make us worse. We should be able to come here and discuss why we cut and w/e else we want to about cutting.

Ill leave you with this: IF YOU DO NOT CUT, YOU DONT NEED TO BE HERE. THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO CUT, WHO NEED HELP, WANT TO STOP, OR EVEN JUST NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO. GO THE FUCK AWAY IF ALL YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS INSULT US LIKE YOU KNOW EVERY FUCKING THING ABOUT US AND OUR ADDICTION.

Stay the fuck away.

[Jordo]

CHILL OUT I have a problem with TRUE attention whores and I was comenting on a girl in my class who threatens me with self harm all the time I have no problems with cutters who keep it to themselfs so dont flip out its my opinnion I am alowd to have one SO BACK OFF

[schrei jess]

You get an opinion when you know what the fuck you are talking about.

Which you obviously do not. Go do some research you insensitive jerk.

[weber]

hey I know him, he's explain himself bad (I hope)... I know this cause I'm a cutter too and he knows about it and he's really helping me out with it.. it's true he might never get to know what's going on in our minds but at least he's helping me out a lot, it really surprises me that he has written that... that's why I think he has explained himself badly... I you have, please explain yourself, that's all I can say about this... don't attack me, cause I support you totally, if I didn't know him, then I would be really pissed off...

[redcar]

Jordo (and this goes for anyone else who comes into this forum with that type of attitude), we at VT are here to help each other. and you have not done that, you have come into this forum, with comments like this...

cutting is retarted...
because ITS THERE PROBLEM...
thats not helpful, its downright disrespectful. now i am going to give you a warning and you better listen and listen good because i wont say it again. show respect to other people. and if you can not do that i will kick you off this site myself.

[Jordo]

I am sorry I was cleaning up my kitchen And I was telling my friend to type BUT I didint tell him to say anything like that he bent it alot im sorry I didint mean to do anything offensive I really did not say much of that stuff I do feel bad for cutters one of my friends is one and I wouldent say that. Im sorry

[trixy]

whoever's talking about those cheapy gilette, or mach3 ones... have no idea what they're talking about.

Have you even TRIED to cut yourself with one of those?? it's incredibly hard to pierce bare skin with one of them.

If you're going to apologize, at least tell the truth.

[schrei jess]

trixy I agree, but we really shouldnt give advice to cutters on what works best. Trust me, if you needed to cut that bad, you could make just about anything work.

And Anthony, I also agree. Seriously, that was a lame excuse. But I dont want to argue anymore.

[terith]

ive been using a pencil with the eraser torn out and using that side

[terith]

forget what I posted,I stoped cuting myself and now working on getting rid of these scars

[elasticband]

I use a knife

[Ethannnnnn]

your questions a little suspicious in a weird sort of way it sounds like your asking for ideas on which way is best too cut and if you are i wont be telling you
