How many people out here cut?

Question

For the record, I do.

Answer 1

me

Answer 2

I used to, I may still. That kind of thing is hard to predicte, don't ya think? I know you may have been told this and no doubt every answer will say it, but you need to get help. Not to stop the cutting, although that is a goal, but to dig at the problem underneath. There is a reason you do it. If you can't be honest with other people, then at least be honest with yourself.

Answer 3

I do. But from your other questions, it sounds like you need real help. How old are you? Do you have a school counselor or something. Cause cutting is one thing, but it really sounds like you have a lot more than that going on.

For smokingun: plenty of guys cut. I occasionally read online groups and stuff for cutters (but usually I don't cause I find they just make me want to cut more), and I see almost as many guys as girls there.

Answer 4

You should look into finding a better outlet for your anxiety/anger/fear because those scars will be with you for the rest of your life. Just think about having to explain them away forever, it's not fun.

What makes you feel you need to cut? Find the problem and resolve it, it's always something.

Coming from someone who is older and did that in her teen years... you really will regret it. I do. I let all of my stupid teenage angst get to me and it wasn't worth it. You grow out of it. And when you do? You wish you had been stronger in the first place because NOTHING is ever that bad.

Answer 5

Cut what? Cut school, I used to but now I am out of school so when I don't feel like going I just don't or take a really long lunch break.

Answer 6

I was reading about that last night. Some Ivy league students were having that problem. It stems from inner hurt and pain and is exhibited by you wanting to hurt your body. Again, it is one of those psychological things. I have been known to pick at scabs and things like that. I know it sounds gross, but just one of those things. Another characteristic is that you are a perfectionist and can't stand any of your imperfections, thus this causes you to be unhappy with yourself.

Answer 7

Fact: in order to kill youself by slitting your wrists you would need to practically chop the end of your arm off. Otherwise, the blood will clot before you bleed to death.

No, I don't "cut," not because I haven't been through my share of seriously disturbing things, but because it has no purpose. If you are depressed or something it won't take it away, if you are angry it will only make it worse, and if you are looking to get attention you will find it, but it won't be the attention you want, it won't be love.

well good luck to you,
peace out.

Answer 8

I know 3 people who do cut never been able to understand why.I would think that there are heaps of people out there who do so you are not alone but need to seek some help ok ...

Answer 9

My sister used to... I noticed she was wearing long sleeves in the summer and made her show me, then I convinced her to get therapy. It really amazes me how common this is among women, and I have yet to hear of a guy who does it (aside from suicide attempts, which in this context it is not).

Personally, as sick as it sounds, I also like the feeling of blood dripping down my arm... the warmth, the tingling, the throbbing release... but it's really not a good idea to do it to yourself. You could always do what I do... jump in gang knife fights and try to break them up.

Answer 10

I feel very sad for you. My daughter used to cut (as I was told but I never saw) now she is no longer here with me. She died because she got mad at her friend who wanted to go out with her b-friend!! Now I have to visit her grave to tell her how sad I am & how much I love her. I hope that you seek help.

Answer 11

I mainly cut my vegetables for meals and sometimes accidentally jab a hand or finger. As a little kid I used to cut my nails til they were bleeding actually.
