is cutting good?

Question

is cutting ur wrists a good thing? bc its help u

Answer 1

I don't think that many people here completely understand the concept. Of course, cutting is not the ideal way to cope with a negative situation, but for many people they have not learned healthy ways and self-injury is all they have. Cutting CAN be good, in ways. With out any coping mechanism the risk of suicide is HIGHLY increased. I in no way recommend cutting as a coping mechanism, at all. It is not healthy and is very addictive. But for those that are already involved in the cycle, cutting can be the one thing stopping them from suicide or other negative things like drugs, which in some cases can be much more physically and mentally dangerous. I assume you are asking this question in reference to yourself, and my personal advice would be that you seek out a therapist that you are comfortable with. Sometimes, it can be hard to find a good one. I hope that you do find someone that you connect with quickly, but if you find that you are having trouble finding a good therapist, try to begin small things to help yourself. Cutting releases things like serotonin which makes you feel better, one of the reasons why it can be so addictive. Your body releases this from other, more positive things, like exercise. If you need that pang of pain, wear a rubber band on your wrist and flick it. I hope that you can learn better coping mechanisms and heal :]
Good luck!!

Notice what some cutters have said about it:

“I cut my wrists so bad I had to get stitches. At the time, I told the doctor that I cut myself on a light bulb, which was true—I just didn’t mention that I’d done it on purpose.”—Sasha, 23.

“My parents have noticed my cuts, but only the ones that aren’t so bad and look like scrapes. . . . Sometimes they’ll see one they don’t recognize, so I make up an excuse. . . . I don’t want them to know.”—Ariel, 13.

“I had been a self-injurer since I was 11. I knew of God’s high regard for the human body, but even this did not deter me.”—Jennifer, 20.

“My anguish was out of control. Then I found something that I could control—physical pain.”—Jennifer, 20.*

“When I'd get upset, I'd cut. It was my way of crying. I'd be happier after.”—Jessica, 17.

“I haven't done it now for about two weeks. That's a long time for me. I don't think I will ever totally stop.”—Jamie, 16.

“Even in laughter the heart may be in pain.”—Proverbs 14:13

“Generally speaking, these people are trying to end just their pain, not their lives”

We are living in “critical times hard to deal with.”—2 Timothy 3:1

Answer 3

The feeling you get from cutting yourself may seem like a good thing, but cutting yourself can cause undesireable things to happen to you. Two obvious ones are scars and risk of infection.
A very close friend of mine was "a cutter" for many many years so I kinda understand a cutter's point of view. That feeling you get is like an endorphine (God I hope I spelled that right) thing that you can get MANY other ways without scars and infection and condescending looks etc.One way that you can get it that will actually leave a good mark on you is exercise. It hurts, it's not for the weak spirited, and if you're gonna hurt yourself you might as well get something out of it besides more problems.

Answer 4

No its not. People cut because it releases endorphins in your body and makes you feel good. IT does make you feel better but its not the right path to take. It also becomes like an addiction to numb the pain but pretty soon you will end up in the psych ward for trying to commit scuicide. I know because I have done the same thing. 7 years later and my arms are mutilated and I am embarassed of the scars I have. My advice to you would be to see a doctor...before it gets out of control.

Answer 5

No because one day you could go too far, my sister was a cutter and now she isn't because she went and got help for herself. Seek out your local MHMR clinic alot of times they can help you at little to no cost, it really helped my sister she now counsels other people with the same addictions and she hasn't cut herself in years, she says sometimes she gets that urge to do it again especially when life goes astray but she just calls her sponsor and they talk through it together, till the urge goes away..

Answer 6

Cutting is a way to deal with anger and depression but it can permanently damage you and causes ugly scars. Many people who have been emotionally and/or physically abused cut or tear at themselves. It's a lot less dangerous to talk to a counselor about the problems that are causing the cutting. It seems scary to talk about the problems but you deserve to be happy and healthy! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Answer 7

No, it is not good because it is not helping. Yes it may make you feel better, but that doesn't mean it is beneficial. People who drink feel better too, but it doesn't help them. I would consider it a coping method. Something you do to keep yourself from going nuts. But, it is not helpful. Self destruction is never a good means to dealing with problems. I suggest talking to someone about how you are feeling, and getting to the bottom of your problems. Talk about the things that are driving you to cut.

Answer 8

Nope. Cutting is a way of feeling like you are in control when all else in your life is out of control. Try seeking help or someone to talk to because this is not a healthy thing to do.

Answer 10

when i was a teen i had a big problem with cutting. it is not a good idea to start because it can become an addiction. it took me years to be able to stop cutting. i know that it does make you feel better, but you need to find someone that you can talk to and trust rather than cut.
