    Never done it, never will and dont see the point in it, i dont see how someone can go so far in their lives as to cutting themselves...its pointless and pain involved in it as well.

    I used to do it because I thought it was the only way of getting my emotions out, when I was really upset about stuff happening in my life (but I don't want to go in to those things now.)

    I did it on my arms, legs and stomach with either scissors or razor blades.

    I didn't get anything out of it apart from scars and blood.

    Someone once told me that a day would come when I just wouldn't NEED to cut myself anymore. I didn't believe them at first, but that day did come and I'm glad I haven't done it since. It doesn't mean the emotional pain's gone away though, it just means that cutting to get the pain out doesn't work anymore. I've found other (less stupid and dangerous) ways of releasing my emotions now, and realised it didn't help at all, it was just a quick fix which made me believe all my problems would go. But they of course didn't, and I realise now how stupid I was.

    i do it cos i get so down that i feel that i deserve the pain and the ugly scars they leave.
    i do it with razor blades. i had to buy some the other day cos the paice of glass i had went blunt....and i felt like i really needed to. i feel like shit now cos i stopped cutting for a long time then i got depressed cos so much in my life is fucked up. whats scaring me now is that i keep going of into daydreams of how to kill myself and stuff. i dnt mean to do this it just takes over.

    Shogun, even though you dont understand it, to some people it really does help, yes is self destructive, but some times cutting is better than the alternatives. it really isnt pointless.

    I used to cut myself, for loads of reasons, sometimes i thought it was because id deserved the pain, sometimes because i was frustrated and i knew if i didnt cut myself, id hurt somebody else. Mostly though i did it for the pain, because if i felt pain physically then i would concentrate on that, and the physical pain was much easier to deal with than emotional pain.

    i used razors, broken mirror, blades, knifes, used to do it on my wrists and legs, (stil have a few scars on my wrists from years ago) but, when i couldnt cut myself anymore because my mum had hidden all the things i could possibly cut myself with, i was left with an overdose. read up on it so i knew id die, and i OD'd. i got found the next morning and taken to hospital got put on all sorts of drips and monitors and machines, so i lived, but if it wasnt for being found i would have died the cutting was a release, without that release it was hell and i couldnt cope.

    Sometimes cutting is the best thing to do in the situation. I dont cut anymore, ive learned to control myself.

    A lot of people don't understand it, but if you aren't in their position then you don't know what it is like. I personallyhave never cut myself, I have scratched with my nails and with scissors (ok, so when I did that I accidentally cut my finger) and when I get very stressed I hit myself or press my fingers into my temples because I don't like to take my stress out on other people. People have told me that it would be better if I did flip out at people but I can't do it. But yeh, don't judge people who do it, you don't know why they do it and the only person that can truly understand why is the person themselves.

    Yeah i get what your saying mate, but a lot of the time when people cut its not down to anger or stress, its an emotion more powerful than that. i guess different things come as natural reaction, some people want to hurt themselves, some people hurt others,and some cry or whatever, i guess its each to his own really, were all different. now i dont cut, i get mashed. thats my new reaction.

    Does anyone know any good ways of getting in an altered state for us under age people???? I don't want to hurt myself anymore but I don't want to take it out on other people who don't deserve it. Generally the reason I'm stressed is because I've done something that has hurt someone else. So I hurt myself to punish me. Don't say 'Don't blame yourself' cos I tried that and it didn't work! So being in a (legal) altered state would be nice!

    Now see, I don't actually want to turn into Kay! So you gotta give me some good ideas!!!!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Does that actually work? Cause I have never passed out before so I don't want to unless it will work! And, also, what about all those times at school when it would be impossible?

    Please stop with the drugs, I seriously do not want to turn into Kay the Bitch from the Underworld ok???

    Replacing one problem with another is not the answer, you know. Yes it is better to find safer ways to release rather than cutting, but at the end of the day you need to address why you are cutting or the problem will come back again and again in one form or another. Go and see your GP for a chat and/ or call the helpline number at the bottom of

    Take care y'all

    Susie is right as ever it seems, replacing one problem with another doesn't work.

    However, I think if I didnt get stuff out at the gym, then I would be cutting/have cut. I think that some things dont need to be analysed to such lengths, and that if you can find a safe release and don't feel ready/dont want to confront your problems, then fair enough.
