I know the pain, I did it myself. Talk to someone, ANYONE to help you out. It seems like life sucks, but you need to talk, and try and direct yourself, find something you enjoy and engross yourself in it. Me, I love to play music and dance. When I'm in my music mode, nothing can get me out of it unless I want them to. Talk to someone, sweetie, life is GREAT, we all have our ups and downs, just need to have help when we're at the low points. Talk to someone. I'm praying for you.

Well, I can certainly understand what you're going through. You are cutting yourself because you want to "feel" something. Your ability to feel the "full cup" of emotions has been blunted by some type of psychological trauma. It could be physical or emotional, both have the same result. Life can be unfair it seems. However, there is hope. You can be able to experience happiness, hope, contentment, anger, etc., but it is going to take some effort on your part. What you need is the proper coping skills to deal with these hurts that plague you. Treatment by a good psychologist or therapist will help to unlock those doors that have been closed to you. Trust me, I've been there in my teens and now am 50ish and very happy and content. First, look in your phone book for a Crisis Help Line. Your call is anonymous. Tell them your problem and ask where to go for therapy. Or, if you live near a large hospital that has a mental health dept. or a mental health treatment center, call for an appt. NOW. Life is so good and exciting, I would hate for you to miss it.

stop doing it!! omg i know you are hurting now, but you are not alone. people say mean things all the time b/c they are probably angry annd bitter about their own lives. you just have to find a better way of dealing with your pain. everyone experiences pain at some point in your life but, you have to realize that you are special and you have a purpose in life and you should work on finding out what that is. you can talk to a counselor maybe even me if you need to talk. either way PLEASE get help.

Well, stop. If you really feel the need to stimulate yourself, go get a tattoo. But, stop cutting holes in yourself. You already have the right number of orifices to support life, adding more isn't going to help. Also, consider seeing a counselor. They really can help, and don't cost that much money...

I am or was a cutter so I can relate. I am not so sure the cutting actually felt good but the being in control of my own pain did. I went through intense therapy to help me to find other ways to deal with the pain other than cutting. I took DBT classes, Dialetical Behavioral Therapy! Marsha Linehan is the one who teaches it to therapists and they in return teach us. She teaches different coping mechanisms and gives you lists of things to try to fight the urges. I am not talking about ice cubes on wrists or rubber band but many things to redirect. Walking, jogging, singing to you favorite music, anything to help you not cut. It's hard I have to say but it does work along with a good therapist and loads of will power. I still fight the urges but have not cut in two years. Please talk to someone, I went too far and wound up with many stiches. I do care!

Cutting does not feel good. If you honestly believe that then you need to speak with a therapist ASAP. This is not a normal way to feel and you need to seek some help.

from what I've seen, most people who cut themselves do it because they want attention..
