Cutting, does it solve peoblems?

Question

or does it just give you something else to think about for a while?
Is self mutilation really all that bad?

you see the thing is i do it for control. It is somethng that no one else can influence. I do it as punishment i either put everything into sport or i cut. and since i have been really really sick i havent been able to do sport so i have been cutting much more often. why cant i find another way to control myself? I cant stop it!

I used to throw up my food then switched to cutting

Ok...I'm going to tell you a true story.

This 12 year old girl who was new at my school. She was a foster child and had no parents, she wasn't happy with her appeearnce because people made fun of her because she looked like a guy. She only went to our school for a week and then after that week....the whole entire school heard she had died in her bed and that she cuts herself and on accident, she cutted one of her viens and it spillt a lot of blood, so she lost a lot of blood and died. This was a true story. Viens are everywhere in your body...so pleaese dont cut yourself.

I dont know what you've been thro or whats going on in your life thats making you want to cut yourself but please...whatever you do, dont. There are a lot fo kids now and these days who think they're going thro a lot and they take it out by cutting themselves....taking it out on their flesh and skin which is not good at all. If you cut yourself a lot...you will eventually lose a lot of blood which is unhealthy.

But whatever you're going thro now....dont think about it...change whatever is bothering you and change it. Write something down in your journal or notebook or diary you keep private and let it all out...you'll feel a whole lot better. Take it out on a notebook papr instead of taking it out on your skin.

god bless you

Hi-ya babe, everyone who has issues they need to solve or speak about do some sort of self mutilation to themselves, the most common one is eating, people going through depression often eat to make themselves feel better, drink alcohol, take drugs etc, yours seems to be cutting.

None of the above is healthy for the person, the best thing to be able to stop this is to speak to someone about what may have happened in the past and release that from inside.

Once you come out and talk you will feel better about whatever it is. I don't necessarily mean a psychiatrist, I'm talking more along the lines of a psychologist/councellor someone who doesn't know you and can listen to you and will not judge you.

I am doing that as well, first session is next week, i have issues i need to speak out about that i have kept in for 3 years and now it is eating me all up.

I will be living my life to the full once i have gotten this all out instead of sitting inside and avoiding the world, i tell you i am really excited about it.

By seeing someone doesn't mean that you are any different from everyone else, there are so many people out there with the same issues as you, they probably just don't ask for help or ask if what they are doing is for the best, you know its not right, this is why you are asking the question and good for you, you are an inspiration, now just go and speak with someone about what it is eating you inside and fix the problem for good.

Good luck hon, email me if you want to chat about this further, i would be happy to help.

Take care xxxx.

Cutting is not the answer for helping yourself feel good about yourself - it's a distraction from deep emotional hurt that you have inside you. Sometimes when you cut yourself & you bleed & hurt it does validate that you're still alive & that you matter, but it's only a bandaid over a huge emotional wound. I recommend that you see a counselor or therapist & talk about why you want to cut or see if you really need more from someone else. Ask questions like "does cutting really work for me?" or "is there an underlining problem that I need help with?"
There are mental health centers that you could go to & see a therapist to talk out this issue. Some have sliding fee scales so that what you would have to pay is according to your income.
I hope that you could take a risk & talk to someone you trust.

No it doesn't solve any think it only hurt and leave scars. yes it can be bad, find help with lifeline or counselling. Trust me when I say I know what I am talking about, I have hurt my self. I was trying to punish myself for depressed when I had so many good things in my life but at the time I felt used and unloved. My counsel told instead of hurting myself write your feeling down or draw.

Answer 5

Cutting is bad. If you’re feeling bad, don’t cut. To get whatever’s bothering you out of your mind start a journal and write about it. Or you could grab a friend and go get a cup of coffee or just hang out and talk about what’s on your mind. The bottom line is that cutting is not the answer to your problems.

Answer 6

i used to be emo, but after the school counselor found out and told my mom, im not anymore. i did it because i was depressed that my mom wasnt there and i had nothing to do. i realize that is a stupid reason, but its true and a lot of people are starting to do it. some people do it because of the season. i did it before hockey and my stomach stung the whole time.

i think i was just trying to prove to myself that i was tough. i obviously am since im on two hockey teams, and now i know that. hopefully you arent trying to tell yourself anything. i want to tell you not to do it because it is a serious problem. i cant though because if it is a way to prove something to yourself, prove it then stop.

it is like a drug, its addicting and its hard to stop.

Answer 7

I have heard about people who cut themselves and I can not figure out why someone would want to do that. In my opinion, cutting is a way of hurting yourself and it's a call for help, however, if you're cutting where no one can see it, which you're probably doing, those who can help you will not see it.
You need to get some help. You don't deserve to cause yourself pain. Please tell someone.

Answer 9

It doesn't solve problems. I'm sure it can occupy you for a few minutes, but it isn't good at all. It creates problems, such as bruises, infections, cuts obviously, etc.. Cutting won't be your answer to everything, so people shouldn't even start up.

Answer 10

It just gives you something else to think about. Yes it is really that bad.I wish I had the 'magic' answer for you, but try to think more positively about yourself. God doesn't make any trash ya know. I can't imagine this type of problem, yet my youngest daughter did have it. I took her to counseling and she eventually got her stuff together. I wish you the best and will pray for ya! If you can't stop it yourself, please ask for help.
