Stopped cutting awhile ago but want to start again?
same here, i cut for four years and stopped because of my boyfriend, then he put me through the most pain i've ever felt and left me.. i felt so angry inside and i felt the only way to get it out of me was to cut myself, then when the Adrenalin died down i felt so disappointed and weak, now when i enter them moods i try my best not to do it but it's as if i'm fighting with my own mind and it makes me feel worse but when you calm down, you DO feel slightly proud of yourself for fighting it.. it takes willpower and talking to a counsellor might help. thousands of people self-harm, you wont get put in a mental hospital, a counsellor won't tell your mum unless there's major concern for your health and safety. but seriously, will-power!
I'm starting to cut myself again? :/?
One of the best alternatives to cutting is putting ice on yourself, wherever u cut yourself. however, my best advice is to try what I do to get positive. Find something you're good at our enjoy! Have fun, even if you're alone. Turn up the music, dance, and have a photo shoot by yourself! Make a funny video and make a parody of your favorite movie or song. Have your own movie night, watching your favorite movies or series while eating popcorn and ice cream:-) or go out with friends to the mall or movies--or both! Love yourself, love life. It's too short to spend miserable:-)
I really want to cut myself again. help?
i know exactly what you feel. to tell you frankly, life is really hard. if you choose yo end yours, it is like raising a white flag. remember that living may be a pain but dying won't take away your problems. if you cut yourself and die, your problems will be buried with you. don't lose hope, give life shot. the heart is a very small organ, do not fill it with hate. you are young, you still have much to learn, experience and discover. someday you will find that one thing that will give you the reason, reason to get up early just to see this special person, or to do this special thing. if you want to talk you can pm me.
I want to start cutting?
Please. Listen to me. You might think, I'll only cut once to see what it's like or to help just this once then I'll never do it again. But it doesn't work that way, you get sucked into it. I've been self harming for over five years (since I was 11) and when I look back had I not picked up those scissors my life would be a lot easier, so much happier. Even though your problems aren't just going to disappear, you are adding so much more stress. The lies you have you tell, the thought of your friends thinking your weird, the fact that you never will be satisfied with a little cut, you get depper. It gets worse. I know you think that this is your only option but it's not, anything is better then this (minus drugs and alcohol-again trust me don't go down that path either) do you have a kik? If you do kik me at: itcanbeoursecret. Please don't, stay strong.
I'm afraid I'm going to start cutting myself again. What should I do?
I've been super stressed the past couple of years. Last february (it lasted until May on and off) I started cutting myself. Not because I wanted to kill myself, but I did it because people said it helped take away the pain you were feeling. I only did little cuts, but then I stopped and threw away the razor because I was disgusted with myself for doing self-mutlilation which was something I never thought I would do in a million years. But now I think about it sometimes when I'm feeling really stressed. I don't want to start again, but I'm afraid I will. I have't told anyone about my problem and I'm kind of afraid to bring it up now to my mom since I am 21 (I'm living at home while going to college) and my mom and I are really close, but she has never noticed the scars on my hand before (or if she did I probably lied and said they were cat scratches). What should I do?
Why do I feel like cutting again?
Don't. Write down the reasons you believe your on this planet and post it on your wall and I'm not talking about Facebook. Write down your struggles and do the same. Reach out for help because you need it. Not you specifically as if your dependent upon care and even if you are what's the alternative? Being alone?I hate to break it to you but your depressed and suffering. You need help just like anyone else going through tough times. Some turn to drugs, some turn to music and even fewer turn to God, sadly. I feel like this is depressing for myself being that when your alone and about to give in, often it's just you and Him there in some people's last days and I doubt that that brings solace. My point is that your important, your here floating on this giant rock for a reason and you have to find it. You can and will get through this and be reborn after it's subsided. I'm here if you need more help and I pray that you will let go of your burdens so you can learn to fly again with the dreamers out there. (Just FYI though, humans can't actually fly without assistance so don't try this at home haha!) Namaste!
I started cutting again tonight?
I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm losing my best friends, I'm stressed all the time, I'm having family issues, and just nothing's right in my life right now. I don't want to start cutting again, I've had bad experiences in the past, and I'm scared. But I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
What do I do? I want to cut again but I'm not depressed. It just became a habit and I really want it but I don't like the scars.
Distract yourself. Use self-harm harm alternatives, like drawing on yourself with a red water color, drawing a butterfly on your wrist (the place where you cut) and telling yourself that if you cut, the butterfly dies. Hold ice cubes if you want to feel the pain. Snap a hair tie against your wrist.Do something you like, or something you need to do: cleaning, studying, watching a movie, working, cooking, doing laundry… the list goes on.The thing that worked the best for me was throwing out my blade; however I quickly acquired a new one, so it didn't have the effect it could've had. Still, I set a new record by being clean for a month and I'm aiming for a longer period this time.Failures are bound to happen; however it’s a long process of growth, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
I feel like cutting myself again?
this is not for attention. it's for help. Today wasn't a good day. A few bad things happened and I don't really feel good about myself at the moment. I've had a history with cutting and I usually did it when I felt like this. The urge to do it isn't going away and I don't know what I should do to deter myself from thinking about it. Anyone with a history of this please help.
