should i stop cutting bc my friend wants me 2?

Question

my friend says that i need to stop cutting but i really dont want to but then again i do and so i am confused on what to do could u help me????

Answer 1

First...you know you should stop or you would not have posted the question. Your friend cares about you so you do have someone in your life that realizes your value. Now it is time for you to do the same. Quitting is not easy or you would have done it before now. I am sure you realize the danger in what you do. Ask yourself why you cut? For the sensation (feeling)? Do you like the way it looks? Or could it possibly be that you get some attention from it? (People must know because your friend knows.) That is not a slam to you if that is the reason. You just have to find a better way to get the attention you need if that is the reason. If it is not, finding the reason you do may help you quit. Another way that cutters have been able to quit is to find something to do to replace the cutting. There are sites online to help you but a good therapist is always the best. I wish you luck in your struggle and most of all I hope that you find that you have too much worth to cut on yourself. Hang in there!

Answer 2

What do you mean by cutting are you a cutter. Well I have a friend that used to be a cutter and now she regrets it because she has all these nasty scares that will never go away on her legs, arms and hands and they look really nasty if you want to have all these scares on your body for the rest of your life well keep on but if you want people to see you with respect stop you are only hurting your self and start facing life for what it is life this is the only one you have so enjoy it and don't let life's situations get to you everyone on this planet has rough times but they manage to get over it and so do you for your life and safety stop there are alot of people that love you and want you to be happy cutting your self will not solve anything so stop and look at everything in the bright side.

I'm assuming you are cutting yourself. If this is the fact then absolutely you should stop. The only problem w/this advice is that you may not be able to stop on your own. If there is an adult that you could talk to you should seek thier help ammediatly. You could accidently cut to the point that you could loose to much blood and this could be life threatning. your friend is giving you good advice ,probably because she cares a great deal for you. I hope you find the help you need . Don't be afraid to seek it. I'm sure there are alot of people that would hate to see you hurt yourself real bad. Don't be shy,embarrassed,or scared it'll be okay.Maybe if your afraid to talk to someone have your friend help you out by her talking to someone for you or to be by your side while you do the talking. good-luck to you!

It sounds like you have a friend that really cares about you-that's a great thing!! It also sounds like you've considered stopping, so it is a possibility. Decide what your reasons are for wanting to continue cutting and those for quitting. That's what my friend did and she decided to stop-but it wasn't easy. There were lots of times she wanted to do it again but she said it got easier the longer she didn't cut.
Good luck to you. Prayer works too if you're into that :)

Answer 5

You should STOP but do it for yourself, boyfriends come and go like the wind but you have yourself always. My daughter started doing this when she was 16 now she is 18 still has no boyfriend but is in control of her life and ways. I am very proud of her. What do people get out of cutting anyways. There is so much better things you can do help the eldery, others that are less fortunate and enjoy being alive, your dead for a very long time!

Answer 6

You should not stop cutting just because your friend told you to. You should stop for yourself. What you are doing is very dangerous and self-destructive. Clearly something serious is bothering you. You are not alone; there are people in the world who care about you, even when it seems like they don't. Talk to someone you trust about this; maybe get some counseling. Good luck!

Answer 7

You know that is your decision no one can make you or force you. Your gonna do what your gonna do.

Just remember on your wedding day there are going to be pictures of you with all kinds of ugly scars and people are going to be looking at that and not the beautiful bride.

If you do stop buy a punching bag and when you need to release what ever it is you get in cutting start puching the bag. hey you can beat people up if you need to cause your gonna be buff.

Good luck and god bless in every choice you make

Answer 8

Hey there I use to be a cutter but I finally stopped about three years ago. I had stopped many times for different reasons but always went back to it for different reasons also. To finally quite I had to do it for myself because I figured out if I did not one of those times I would go to deep and kill myself I really did not want to die. You need to figure out why you do that and try finding a new way out of it. That is what I had to do and I also went and sought out help and things are a lot better today. I will keep you in my prayers.

Answer 9

yes you should stop cutting. my girlsfriend's friend use to be a cutter and she almost died. nothing is that bad to were you should cutt. if you think something is that bad try going to see a therapist it really dose help. try talking about the stuff that is makeing you want to cutt. try to write in a journal instead of cutting. or do some kick boxing because even that will take your mind off of cutting. that is a illness i know it makes you think stuff is better but it is just making it worse please go talk to someone about you cutting please if not for you do it for your friends and family.

Answer 10

Cutting is not a good thing. You need more help than you can get on a question and answer site. You need to talk to your Dr. to get a referral to a Mental health specialist
