Ppl who cut or who have cut please ?????????

Question

im not gonna judge (i promise i wont)

ppl who have cut themselfs or burned themselfs or who have self injured in anyway

can u please share your story with me

it would really help me out alot

and again im not here to to judge

for me its about being in control

if that makes any sence at all

being able to decide exactly when it hurts and where it hurts and why it hurts and how bad it hurts

when i couldnt control any of the other pain i felt

and when ppl found out they accused me of just doing it to get attention

i kno that alot of ppl do it to get attention but if i was only doing it to get attention why would i hide it

if somebody dosnt even make a attemp to hide it or if they go around telling ppl that they cut then u kno there obviosly just looking for attention

but it really wasnt like that at all for me

i just need some answers from other ppl who kinda understand this

and it will really help me out alot

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Oh don't know it just hurts - everything hurts -and yes it is about control. you mind, your emotions they're in this state of spastic loneliness an pain you are unable to do ANYTHING about. NO one understands, you're at the point of desperation... what else do you do. At least this is real and you can see what hurts right?  Best wishes, and please don't do it too much.

Answer 2

I recommend the following website. It really helped me when I was going through the same thing as a young woman. I have been SI-free for 5 years now and I promise it gets better.

Answer 3

I had depression for years, until I was diagnosed a few months ago.

Pain has always felt nice to me, for whatever reason. It still does, I punched a wall today.

Answer 5

Ive cut since 8th grade. Im now a senior in high school. I started cutting because I felt it was the only way to get my feelings OUT. I felt clean afterward, like I had a new slate... I still feel that same way to this day. I have become dependent on cutting to feel good whenever I DON'T. I suffer from mild PTSD (from my uncles, mothers, and grandfathers suicides) and mild bi-polor disorder (that for the most part is gone) I am Severely depressed, but I take each day as they come and try not to stress myself out

I know its bad, but I also know I'm not ready to stop. Its the best coping mechanism I have, because I refuse to damper my feeling with "happy" drugs. They drain personality and ruin creativity. I would rather put scars on my skin than lose the friends I have. My friends are very accepting of my condition, disorder, whatever you call it. Im taking the steps to learn to better control the extreme lows I have, in an effort to curb the "extreme reactions".

I consider myself extremely lucky to have ALL the people around me understand that Im not trying to hurt them, or get sympathy. They also understand and accept my decision to try to deal with it on my own, without the help of meds or doctors. I HAVE made a pact to tell them if I ever feel suicidal. Which VERY RARELY happens. My life has been to influenced by suicide, I would NEVER DARE to hurt anyone like that.

Answer 6

I tried lots of ways to commit suicide.  I wound up in the mental hospital a lot surrounded by strangers and few of them would talk to me I have given up on suicide, I just hate having to share a bathroom with a stranger, having my eyes flip out on me, feeling like I need to pee immediately after I pee, pain and aches all over my body because of the side effects of the medications.  They've got my on something now and the side effects are mostly gone but my mental health has improved.

Answer 7

i use to do it

cus it was alot easier to deal with the pysical pain then to stop and really deal with the emotional pain

i started to cut myself when i found out that my boyfriend cheated on me and he dumped me

it was way to much to deal with him and him cheating

so to get my mind of it i cut myself

and yeah like you said for control

like my bf would totally control me and tell me what i could and couldnt do so then i cut myself cuz it was something he didnt like and i got to control it

so hope i helped :]]]

Answer 8

I used to do it, because physical pain was easier to deal with than mental pain

Answer 9

Well i use to cut myself, but i dont do it anymore, and i use to do it, to forget the pain i felt inside...I see wat ur saying, i understand, and i dont do it for attention.
