i have a cutting problem! Help me?

Question

well i cut myself when i feel any overwelming feeling of sadness, anger, hatred etc here's one problem i had at school

well I did it cause I was not bored I was totally pissed off at the whole world and in a matter of seconds I had grabbed her scissors and done it and I cried in the girls toilet because I was so upset that I had done it and I didn't think I would go to that extreme and do something so wacko like what mental peeps do I was scared to think I would do it again and I didn't know how to stop honestly I was like some sicko who didn't know how to deal with her issues.I was a fruit cake, I prayed about it and it didn't work it’s like god doesn’t care at all like he hated me. I didn't know what to do so I lied about it...!

I did it again this afternoon because i was stitting in a tree when one of the gals that tease me pushed me down out of the tree and i rolled away and hit my head on a branch and cut it open and sprained my wrist which is now bandaged up. Help am mad!!

I also got teased about me cutting myself and it angers me to think that i do this so hence i do it more. i get kids calling me a ***** and also saying that i'm a **** and a hoer and personally i don't like it at all, they throw stones at me, weeds, sticks, books and pencil cases as well and it angers me. they spread rumers about me like that i sleep with my grandma and thet i **** my mother in bed and that i had sex with my English teacher and other nasty stuff like that honestly how horrible can some pople be it's apoling and i hate the way they call me names! and then they hit me, punch, kick, bite, pinch etc. an quite franqly am i sick of it help me before i cut myself worse or comitt suicide. NO i am not a ATTENTION SEEKER! at all GOT IT!
sorry 4 being a ***** but i'm sick of peeps sayin i just do it for attention

no i am not depressed at all dah! but my counsellor thinks i am but the doc says i'm not so am i or wat? and by the way i dunno if ya know this but i'm suicidal and yeah and i don't think counselling is working for me it just makes me madder and therefore i cut myself

i cut myself on my arms ( shoulder, hands, wrists) and on my legs ( ankles, knees and thighs ) and i do it like everyday out of habit by more when i feel overwhelmed by some thing ( anger, happinesss, sandness etc. )

and my rent's don't care they think i'm an idiot and they hate me 4 it so i can't talk to them due to this and thery think i will just grow out of it and won't get me some help in other words they think im and nutter a fruitcake

i find it extremely hard to sop cutting any ideas on how i could deal with it any other way when i have the erge to cut my body cause people see the scars and ask all these questions and then i just lie to them and stuff why?

Answer 1

There are several different flat-out-crisis-in-the-moment strategies typically suggested. My favorite is doing anything that isn't SI and produces intense sensation: squeezing ice, taking a cold bath or hot or cold shower, biting into something strongly flavored (hot peppers, ginger root, unpeeled lemon/lime/grapefruit), rubbing Ben-Gay® or Icy-Hot® or Vap-O-Rub® under your nose, sex, etc. Matching reactions and feelings is extremely useful.

I have many more things to tell you about.

Answer 2

I believe you have a serious disorder, and you need meds. I'm not being mean, i'm being truthful. You are probably full of potential and could show it if you could get rid of whatever it is that's causing you to do this. Don't give up on God either, just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he doesn't care. Maybe it's something that God can't just take away, but He sure can be there with you, on your side to help you fight it. You're still alive another day, so there's God keeping you from commiting suicide. Just get help. It may seem that people don't understand you, but later on down the road (which will be a long, bumpy one) things will come together and get better. Stay positive.

My niece did this until she got her chemical bipolar disorder under control.She is on medication,I think Zorloft.And she is doing just fine,mentally.But she did move to Alaska to get away from the same kind of people you have had to deal with.Some people can be so cruel,but not to worry,karma will take care of them,you don't need to lift a finger.Please go to the Doctor and tell him you want to be tested for Bipolar,and at least try some meds. that are compatible with your activities.And try to get some new friends that understand you,even if they are at church or another town.And try not cutting yourself the next time something like that happens,just say,God grant me the Serenity to accept the things,and people,I cannot change,the courage to change the things I can,[that would be you]and the wisdom to know the difference.say that before you cut yourself again.And start thinking about what you are doing,you will be glad once you move past this point in your life that you didn't do any more damage than you may have already done.And if no body has told you that they love you,well I do!!GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!!PEACE!

Answer 4

I know where you are coming from. I used to be a cutter also. But i learned that even though cutting myself makes me feel good for a little while, the feelings always come back so there is no point in it. You need to seek professional help immediately. You need to tell the people you are closest to about your problem. They will probably be mad but more worried about you. I know it's hard to talk to certain people about certain things but it has to be done.
The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. You have already done that. Your on your way but you can't do it alone. You need support and professional help. When you cut your not only hurting and damaging your body but you are hurting the people who love and care about you. Do what you know is right, get some help. If you ever need to "vent" as i call it, email me and i will respond too your problems as best as i can. I will be your friend and help you make it through this as much as i can if you want.

Answer 5

OK, here goes, when I was a teenager I had the same garbage that you are going through, kids picking on me and hitting me and cursing at me. I tried to go to the teachers, the principal, then my parents had to take me out of that school. I went to another school, I was picked on there, too. I was always able to out run the other kids, there was always about 15-20 kids on my tail. They humiliated me to all ends. Well, I put up with it for the entire time that I went to that school. Then I graduated and went to High School. Everything got better for me. In the mean time I cut myself, with a razor. Nobody asked me about the scars, though, I never cried, nobody knew how deeply hurt I was. I have deep scars from those years. I found that you cannot listen to names, you have to be strong and not let them know what bothers you, act like those horrible things don't bother you, because the more you get angry the more they are going to do to you. I even used to start joking about myself, just so the kids would not bother me, and you know? It worked. I started to enjoy making others laugh. I got to be popular and the kids really did not pick on me anymore. I had counceling, too, but nothing helped me more than me. I know where you are coming from, you are not a sicko, you just have to try to ignore them and they will stop. I hope this helps you alittle, sometimes all you have is you. If you don't take control of your emotions they might take you. I know, it happened to me. I am now in my 40's and feel good about life. I hated my teen years. Best of luck to you.

Answer 6

I, too am a cutter. I know that you are not crying for attention. Sometimes when you have a lot of emotional pain, the only thing that will dull it is physical pain. When you have problems that overwhelm you try looking at the bigger picture. Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen? But in truth the only way you can really get help is by contacting a professional for counselling, behavioral therapy, and maybe medications. Talking out your emotions with a psychologist can help you put things in perspective, be able to deal with life's problems and find solutions that will be productive instead of destructive.

Answer 7

Sugar, sugar....I know things are really crappy right now for you. Please know that God does not hate you. You are His precious, special child. Every pain you feel, He feels.

I don't have good answers to your cutting problem. I have suspected my son of cutting for some time now. He has a hard time dealing with his emotions.

I have been doing a research paper on this behavior, and am just learning more about it. However, one thing i have learned is that most people who are cutters do not necessarily have suicidal thoughts or tendencies. This is not something that you can continue to deal with on your own. You need to find someone who is familiar with the problems you are going through, and with help from your loving Father God, you can work through this. If you are currently in therapy, and it doesn't seem to be helping, then go to someone else. This is definitely nothing to fool around with.

I can't tell you why so many people are so cruel. It makes me sick. Just know that if you can avoid them, or even if you can't, it will be okay, and it will pass. Just don't let them rule your life, your emotions. I know it's hard, sugar.

Just know, I will be praying for you myself. Be strong, sugar.

Sweetie...what is going on with you is all in your mind. You have the power to control YOU! YOU have the power to stop cutting! And what I really want to say, if the doctors didnt help, if your family arent helping, then maybe you need to take this to God. You are here on this internet and there are many preachers here who can help you. Look for Joyce Meyer's website or Kenneth Copeland's. Both of them should have a place on their website where you can email a prayer request.
Take care and if no one else loves you, then God loves you.
Peace!

Answer 9

you're not mad, you're just having trouble coping with really intense emotions. it's ok, there are other people like you, and there are people who want to help.

i hope you've contacted some of the people who answered. i think it might also help to get a local sos number or helpline and keep it around you always so you have someone to call no matter what time it is.

it's scary to tell someone about it, but it's probably the best thing to do. i know you'll get through this. lots of hugs.

Answer 10

My younger sister used to cut herself when she was younger and we all thought it was her seeking attention, but then we discovered she had a serious problem. Every time she felt hurt inside she would cut herself or self harm as we call it in UK. You should seek counseling it helped my sister and she found it easier to talk to someone who didn't know her.
She doing really good now and hasn't cut herself for over 6 years.
Please seek help there's plenty of people out there who will give you the support you need.
