is cuting yourself as bad as starving to death?

Question

need to see if u ever thought of this and why?

Answer 1

both are bad, dangerous, and all too common

unfortunately, the two problems often to hand-in-hand (it is incredibly common for a person who cuts to also have an eating disorder, and vice versa)

there really isn't any point, though, in considering which is worse

Answer 2

Id say the starving to death is much worse as it will take more than a month sometimes, while cutting yourself will be horribly painful till you blackout from blood loss after just a matter of minutes.

Answer 3

Hey there, They are both bad... Depending on teh extent I I guess. Starving yourself can be so harmful to the way you body and midn works. You body loses so much when you dont eat , it change'd and so doe your brian because it short on what it need to survive. Make feel heaps worse. I used to starve myself, and i hated every mintue of it. My body began to shut down.

Cutting - Depending on the way or how deep you are going. Its dangerous and would love you to not harm youself. It could be safer , this way your not hurting your organs etc. You en dangering your life so much as starving yourself.

these to things have pro's and con's.

Starvieng doesnt leaves scars - but can make you very Very ill. and could Kill you.

Cutting - scars can be life threatening if not taken procortians. I know bin there two.

Please be careful, look after yourself

Answer 4

I would think starving yourself would be worse because you know when your like REALLY, REALLY hungry and your stomach growls and actually hurts?It would be like that the whole time, but cutting yourself can be and is painful also- though some people cut to relieve themselves of inner emotional pains so it doesn't hurt them- but cutting open anywhere on your body is painful- ever had a paper cut? those suck!!

Answer 5

u cant compare between cutting ur self and starving to death coz ofcourse starving to death is much worser
am depressed but few months ago i got in this deep depression and i started cutting my arm,it's very bad to cut ur self but it's never as bad as starvin to death

Answer 6

In my opinion, starving yourself is worse. Cutting doesn't exactly mean suicide, and it doesn't kill you unless you cut too deep. Starving yourself to death can easily kill you.

Answer 7

no, cutting your self is considered self mutilation, they are both considered "problems" but unless you go to far with cutting your self you will not seriously hurt your self where as with an eating disorder you could die.

Answer 8

cutting your self is just as bad b/c eather way you could die
