this is for the cutters only?

Question

for the cutters umm why do u cut your self and doesnt it hurt

Answer 1

when your depressed you do stupid things it cant be helped , and when your that way it usually hurts too much on the inside so you need some pain on the outside to releive it on the inside , it doesnt hurt usually when your in that state of mind because it hurts worse inside on the mind...

Answer 2

I am a self-harming cutter in its own right and i dont know why other people do it many people do it for many different reasons. But honestly i think that i do it when i become very stressed out with life and all its hassles. I do not do it to kill myself but i do it to feel something other than the emotional pain that i am going through at that time. I regret it sometimes and sometimes i am afraid that i am gonna take it to far and not be able to stop the bleeding the scars are disgusting but it keeps people from coming to close cause no one seems to understand them and the reason that i do what i do. People deal with pain in different ways and yes sometimes the physical pain is very intense but more so is the emotional when all u can do is look at your body in disgust. I have stopped cutting now for at least six months since my sons were born cause i am gonna have a hard enough time explaining the scars that are already there and where they came from and why. It hurts me inside now that i even chose that path cause now i am afraid that my sons will feel that they can do the same thing.

Answer 3

Usually I cut when I feel the need to die. When your as depressed as I get you will try anything to relieve the pain of being lost with no help of being found emotionally. 36 pills a day and I still cut. I am so self conscious at the time it doesn't hurt. This is a psychological problem that needs constant self realization. Contact me when you need an ear to listen.

Answer 4

It helps. You feel better, it's like crying, but I can't cry, so I would bleed instead. The pain is soothing. Sometimes it is a punishment, sometimes you hate yourself so much you just want to cut yourself up. I've had many reasons to do it, though I don't anymore. Eventually I realized that if I continued, I was going to end up dead.
It does hurt, but not how you'd think. You get accustomed to it, you enjoy it. Sometimes you're so far gone it doesn't hurt at all. The worst part is after, when you're trying to lie in a bed with hudred of cuts on your body, adrenaline no longer masking the pain. It sucks.

Answer 5

when I was a cutter I did it because it relieved the pain of what was wrong with me like depression, anxiety and so on. I still do it every now and then. because I am Manic Bipolar Depressive, Physocitic features. so I do it when I am really depressed, and hurt. And no it doesn't hurt it relieves the pain. It is something that is hard to explain unless you have experienced it.

Answer 6

To start off with, It never usually hurts for me.. and if it does, its because the pain is meant to be felt.
I cut/self-harm/OD for many reasons. I get low, depressed and have many suicidal thoughts. Hence i think I'm actually depressed, nothing will be done about it which causes me to cut further.
The cutting helps alot, it makes you feel in control, watching my blood just leaking out like my problems... its one of the best feelings Ive ever experienced.
Saying this, it is addictive. I rely on it a hell of a lot.. and have begun cutting because I'm bored as well as when I'm feeling low, frustrated and out of control.

Answer 7

I am not a cutter, but i do know some things about them. My mom is a therapist. They cut themselves b/c they are hurting emotionally. They are depressed and dont know another way to handle their depression. I am sure that it does hurt but i dont think they are aware of it b/c of how bad they are already hurting emotionally. It is a really sad state, and i feel really bad for those who go thru that. But you can help them by praying for them and encouraging them to seek God.

Answer 8

we cut ourselves to feel a different kind of pain. And it reminds us that we're still alive. to some cutters, sill being alive is a bad thing, they'd rather be dead than go through whatever they're feeling. That WAS my case, but now bleeding just gives me thrills. Oh and it feels awesome if your that messed up, so to speak.

Answer 9

Not really, i mean. I havn't done it in a really long time because i get long periods where i am uninterested in it. Then i have my times when i am obsessed. When you are thinking about your emotional pain. You don't feel any physical pain. Also, i do it without even realizing i have. I will start bleeding, and be like "wait, did i just cut?" i wont even realize it until i am done. Anyway, we do it because one, it makes me feel alive, too, it helps me take my mind off of my emotional pain. Its almost like when you cut, you can feel your emotional pain escape out of your body through that cut.
