I want to not do it, but it's all I can think about, and I know that it's a bad idea but I can't think of any reason not to do it. I don't care about the scars, and it won't kill me, but really I wouldn't care that much if it did anyway, so why shouldn't I just cut? And I'm not religious at all, so don't even bother trying that one.

Sophie,
If I had to guess I'd say you are under a lot of stress in your life right now. You are probably a teenager or young adult and you are faced with stressful things like establishing yourself as an individual, relationships, and the prospect of becoming an adult and all the responsabilities that go along with it. You hold yourself responsible for too much and are to hard on yourself and you are internalizing the stress that you accumulate from this and it is tearing you up inside. You cut yourself as a way to relieve the pressure.
But this is not the answer to you problems. I read some of your other posts and I while I'm not a doctor, I think you might be going through a period of clinical depression which is very common in young people. There are many hotlines you can call and people you can speak to to help you through this.
Also, you don't have to have a horrible life to feel crappy. You are entitled to harbor all the emotions that come with being human and by depriving yourself the right to say "I'm not happy" you are creating stress that you cannot deal with. From some of your other posts it sounds to me like you have subconsciously oppressed yourself. You tell yourself you don't have the right to feel bad, and that you should be punished for saying something stupid.
Sophie you have a right to feel bad. You have a right to be upset with something and you have the right to tell people. Don't worry about saying stupid things. You shouldn't be trying so hard to please anyone. Everyone says stupid things now and then and most of the time it's such a fleeting moment that no one who heard is going to be thinking about it at the end of the day. If someone looks down on you because you don't meet their standards of "cool", well who the hell are they to put themselves above you anyway? Be your own self.

It will only add to any other pain you may be feeling. If it covers it up, it will only be for a short time.
Chemicals are released when you get hurt seriously, like adrenaline and the like. part of the "fight or flight" reflex we all have. It's your body preparing itself for combat, so to speak. If it feels good to you to hurt yourself, it's probably that chemical "dump" you enjoy. Your body will do the same thing with a good start. Try watching a scary movie instead, if it scares you, your body will react similar to when you get hurt. You will get that rush, without the messy clean up after (unless you have a weak bladder or something :-)
If you don't enjoy it, and you want to do it anyway, that's compulsive behavior, which may not change without help from someone else.

Because you just think of yourself but not the emotional scars you leave behind in others. You will regret it one day when you have kids or someone you love. How are you going to explain that later. Besides, you don't have to hurt yourself to prove a point to someone else. Just do something for you. Cutting won't cut it.

First, seek professional help.not only for yourself but because of those you love.Remember that you are a very unique person who has a planned purpose in life.You are loved by family an freinds even though you may not feel that way.You have a special talent and if you end your life; you will never know the simply joys in life...career, children., granchildren, soulmate, .You will never feel the warmth of a newborn, a kitten, the stroke or smell of your lover, You will never reach your potential because you decided to give up....
Please don't do it ! Stop and think of those you love you that will be devastated because you are no longer with them.

Do it in a room full of people you know. Make sure they are all watching you. If you still want to do it, go out and buy some videos games to take the stress off.But, if you really want a reason why you shouldn't cut yourself, watch saw 1 and 2.

Sweetheart, come on! Someone in your life has done you terribly wrong, let's kick their ***! There is no logical reason for a beautiful person to want to hurt themselves. Yes, I said "beautiful person". That's you, babe! I don't know what you're up against, but if you'd like an anonymous person to vent on...feel free to contact me. I'm just an average person...no degree...just an ear or a shoulder to cry on if you see fit. I won't judge.

well, sophie. Whatever happen to you in the past is not worth cutting yourself. You need some hobby, Don't get mad at me please, but, it might be psychological. Talk to somebody about it, get it out of your system. Of course cutting yourself is not gonna kill you, but why would you hurt yourself if somebody else already did? If you like pain, practice martial arts, that will help you gain self control, and it is really painfull I know, I know karate, tae kwon do, street fighting.

Obviously your seeking attention and you getting mad right now as your reading what im writing... probably saying "how dare you say im seeking attention... no im not" But really you are... When someone has serious problems and wants to find ways to die and cut themselves like in your other questions... They dont ask... They just do it. Dont get me wrong... I'm not saying go and do it... but come on... Unlike the new "trends" you see around you... it really isnt cool to cut or want to die. You need to go get some professional help and find out why your feeling this way... Sitting around thinking about it isnt going to help either... Go for a walk or do something productive... Its okay to feel sorry for yourself every now and then but your going to have to move on and deal with things... Call 1-1800 suicide...

Cutting yourself won't make the real hurt go away. Find someone to talk to, someone willing to listen to the real trouble. Maybe a professional therapist, maybe someone on a hotline, maybe even someone whose religion tells them it's more important to help people than to convert them.
