I cut myself for the first time...?

Question

I did it for the first time ever today...and when i did it, i blacked out. I dont remember anything except looking at my bloody wrist...im scarred because i dont want to do it again.

Answer 1

good, then dont do it again

Answer 2

I gather you did this deliberately.

You're on the right track with your feelings and this question, because you're scared and you're asking about it and you know this is bad for you.

Go further: Tell someone in your life. Open up about this to someone in person whom you can trust. An adult, not a teen.
ASK FOR HELP. A parent or school nurse would be good. If the first person doesn't understand, keep going til you find someone who does. Don't give up on this.

Identify what's prompting you to do this. There has to be a situation or feeling that triggers it. If you can figure out the trigger, you will be that much closer to beating it!

You don't have to do this alone. There is help out there. We just can't read your mind. You have to take that first real-life step and reach out.

Don't put this off. Tell someone immediately.

Answer 3

Please do not cut yourself for a second time. Talk to an adult you trust, or a school counselor. This will only get worse if you don't resolve the underlying issues. Normally people that cut have a hard time feeling things, and will cut themselves to release pain, and to prove to themselves that they are alive and that they do feel. This is a very dangerous addiction that can be helped, the sooner the better.
Please get help ASAP.

James F. :
This is not a attention seeking behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with attention. It has to do with pain so great that you know absolutely no other way to release it other than cutting. It is very serious. Cutters have very low self esteem usually. They have generally been abused sexually, physically or emotionally. If you are completely clueless on the topic, don't answer the question. Some people have no where else to turn other than here and are looking for serious answers. So please respect their condition and don't answer if your going to be ignorant. Some people put other people down to make themselves feel better, some people cut themselves. Get my point??

Answer 4

This isn't really a question, but I'll sympathize with you anyway because it looks like you just wanted someone to talk to. Have you told anyone else? Anyone who cares about you? That should probably be your first step. It's a good thing that you don't want to do it again! If you are not feeling better soon, I'd advise professional help. You might have depression that can be treated with medication. Good luck with everything!

Answer 5

I would recommend talking to a professional ASAP. There was probably a reason you cut yourself. Cutting/self-mutilation can turn into a serious addiction that is really difficult to stop. It is also really dangerous and can have serious consequences that the individual may not have originally intended. Good Luck. Please go seek help. At least call an anonymous hotline. There are a lot of people who struggle with self-injury. It does not have to be a silent or lonely struggle.

Answer 6

you should probably seek professional help, not the populus of the yahoo answer forum.

It's not a phase, many people enjoy inflicting harm upon themselves. That it relieves stress and emotional pain. There are far more healthier ways of doing this.

Cutting your wrists can eventually only result in one thing.
And trust me there is nothing worse than that.

No matter what your situation. Living through it is far better than quitting.

Answer 7

THEN DON'T! RUN TO YOUR DOCTOR AND GET SOME HELP! Nobody out here can help you and you are obviously crying for help. Turn off your computer and go to an open walk in clinic and talk to somebody. Don't waste any time because you might not get a second chance to get advice.

Answer 8

You need to talk to someone. This is a serious problem. You might need counseling but it works. I was in the same position and my life is so much better now that I had conseling and I actually talked to people about it. Don't do it again, seriously it isn't worth it.

Answer 9

you need to specify what type of cut like was it an accident or did you do it on purpose with a razor or something. from what you wrote it sounds like you did it on purpose...well if its by accident go to the doctor and if you did it on purpose stop because your wrist is very sensitive to cuts and theres a certain place in your wrist that if you cut it you will die so you need to be careful.

Answer 10

please dont cut urself. it doesnt really solve anything but giving u scars. r u upset or depressed about anything? if so, u dont need to cut urself. there iz help out there. if u r too embarrassed or whatever to tell anybody, then look for stuff online. there r a lot of things online that can help u. also, i dont know if u already do, but try finding a church. not just any church, but a good, bible believing church. before i started going to my church, i was constantly thinking about suicide and crap like that. theni started going to church and felt loved. sadly, i cant guarantee that at every church, but if u can find a good loving church, it is so helpful.

Answer 11

dont do it again. that is a sure way to kill yourself. why would you want to destroy something God made so beautiful? you. if you dont want to do it again don't don't mutilate yourself for others or to get rid of pain. when im angry or hurt i go to the gym and punch the punching bag. it gets all of my anger out and is harmless. please don't cut yourself and if you cant stop get help and tell somebody.
