Okay so the other day i cut my wrist...?

Question

i got really down the other day when i started thinking about things (my parents divorced recently) and i just reached for a pair of nail scissors and made a small cut across my wrist (just less than 1cm)...

i don't know why i did it, its not like i'd ever thought about it before or like i wanted to do it, i just did it...

and then after it felt really good and i liked the way it looked...

the next night i did the same thing slightly higher, another small cut, and then the day after that i did it again, but the scissors weren't really that sharp and i really had to press hard and keep going over it to draw blood...

then yesterday i was in the shower and after i got out i broke my razor apart and made 4 small slices (1/2cm each) and one long one (2cm) with the blade and the razor made it so easy to do, it was so sharp... and seeing the blood welling up felt really good... and i wasn't even in a down mood then, i was fine i just felt like i needed to do it...

i'm really worried that i might become addicted but it feels really good when i do it...

its not like i'm suicidal either i just get depressed sometimes

any help?

Answer 1

People are gonna call you soooo emo for this haha

Well I do the same thing. I have these little scrapers and theyre really sharp its sooo nice.

But before you go cut you got to think. I know what it feels like and it feels good but if you wanna stop just trust me.

I try growing out my nails and whenever I get the urge I just push my nails down into my skin until I feel better.

You have to occupy yourself a lot or you're gonna find yourself cutting again.

Just try not to think about it. Not matter how much you urge, if you ignore it it will go away soon, like hunger.

Answer 2

get some help from a psychologist or something, because u will end up killing yourself one day and you'll probably be depressed and you just dont want to live.

so get some help!!  

Answer 3

That is called self mutilation, and it is a mental issue. Talk to a therapist, and see if they recommend depression pills and/or treatments. Talk to your parents about it. You have to stop cutting yourself; you'll get scars. It is not safe and it can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. Not good.

Answer 4

you just need to calm down.dont cut your self please!that is not the way to make you feel better. talk to one of your parents.they'll probably understand that your o depressed so just be brave and talk to them.it might actually feel better than cutting your self

Answer 5

You need to see a Psychiatrist. This is self-cutting needs to be looked into.
