i cut my wrist. it makes me feel good. why do my friends tell me to stop?

Question

If you like something why would you stop? I dont get it.

Answer 1

Because it's not what nature intended. You need help, and I think the reason you asked that question is for help.

1-800-DONT-CUT is a hotline for cutters.

Answer 2

It may feel good, but what you are doing is a form of mental illness, and your friends are asking you to stop, because they CARE about you!!

Contrary to what some of these people are saying, this is not some sort of "pre-suicide" behavior, but a disease in an of itself, of which I cannot remember the name of.

It feels good to you, because it is satisfying some unmet need, in a perverted way. It would be so much better for you to address the actual underlying need, but it will take professional help to help figure out just what that is, and the most appropriate way to fill that need. Cutting yourself is like throwing a cup of water on a burning building...it may seem to be the right thing to do, and may even put out one tiny corner of the fire...but the house continues to rage, until it burns down to a pile of embers.

Is this what you are waiting for? THEN you will stop?

Answer 3

I'm just wondering, is this a serious question? They want you to stop because they care about you and this is dangerous. Cutting yourself doesn't help anything, it just creates more problems. You should listen to your friends, they love you and they're worried. And it may make you feel good, but only for a little while. And trust me, after a while it will just end up making you feel worse because then you have to worry about hiding it and if your friends find out then they're going to be hurt and that will make you feel bad too.

Answer 4

lol,

look, everyone knows that cutting a wrist would be soo dangerous and can kill yourself... well when your friends told you to stop doing that, you should be grateful, cause outside there, there are people who really cares about you and who love you... think about it.. they love you and why must you do sumtin that is hurting yourself, you should love yourself more than anyone love you, come on, get a life, it is your body, it is sooo unlogical reason to cut you wrist just because you love it... then I guess you love to die... get a help... no matter what cause it is, you can't run from your problems, deal with it, doing sumtin like that will not solve any problem....

just think about it.... love yourself more than anyone love you, don't take things for granted... you should appreciate all the things that circling around you because everythings that happen has it own reasons... only God knows it...

Answer 5

i used to do this. its a bad thing. i think u need to find someone to talk to. yes it does feel better and i know ppl think thats crazy but its a pain you can control. but its bad. and now i have scars on my wrists ill never be able to get rid of. and now its reminder to my mistakes of my past which is even worse. you should get some help. talk to a therapist or someone that can help you. or if you'd rather not talk get on some meds like prozac. cutting is not a good idea at all. because maybe your depressed but who says youre gonna be depressed forever. are u willing to accidentally cut too deep and die and throw away your life? if you answer this with a yes you really need help NOW.
good luck.

edit i think people who dont have any expierence with depression like this should answer. if anyone says anything ignorant f_k off.

Answer 6

if u cut your wrist & feel happy, u are not in a normal mental state. The reason for this is---------
1 u re afarid of someting
2 u re running away from your problem
3 u are getting bored from your life

I suggest u to

1 meet people & never stay lonely.
2 enjoy every moment of life as problem is with every one & life without it is worthless
3 listen soft music as it makes your life more sweet & help u to over come any type of situtation.

your freinds are worried abut u as they love & care for u.
It is not a matter of happiness or joy as self destruction is not good for u, your's family & for your friends.

Answer 7

Intervine. do not merely tell her to stop, make her stop. If she's been having a nasty day then do not go away her with assistance from herself. do not you would possibly want to be comfortable and courtious, be demanding and stern. Be forceful. it is spectacular what merely yelling will do. make constructive ur there for her. make constructive that she's conserving her cuts sparkling and bandaged. except this there is no longer a lot that u can do.

Answer 8

This is the truth: you need professional help. Some people would say that it makes them feel good to hurt other people, should they stop that? According to your logic, no they shouldn't.

Does that sound right to you?

It doesn't matter who is getting hurt, only that someone is getting hurt. This time, it's you. Listen to your friends. They are your blessing.

Answer 9

If it makes you feel good then keep doing
I think your going to lose a lot of blood if you cut your wrist to hard or multiple times.
I don't think a cut feels good,
Once, i cut my left pinky just by not being careful cutting chocolate with a small swiss army knife.
instead of cutting it on the surface of the table, I cut the chocolate with my left hand.
As a result, I cut my pinky and lot of blood flowed out.
I took care of the problem.

Answer 10

Probably because it is not considered normal behaviour and they think you need help.
I agree with them, why cut your wrists if you intend to stay alive, most people do it to kill themselves, so you are just scratching yourself and not really cutting, since if you really cut you would sever a major artery and die pretty quickly from major blood loss.

Answer 11

Well it's basically a display that you aren't happy. It also can't be good for your body. What if I said to you:

"I like shooting up cocaine in an alley cuz it makes me feel good" or "I love cheating on my girlfriend cuz that bi+ch needs to STFU!"

So I'm guessing that cutting yourself either relieves stress, or it makes you feel alive. Or both, IDK. Just know that what you do causes your friends heartache, because it seems as though they care for you. An alternative to stress relief is chewing gum or cracking knuckles. I find it a little less painful and more pleasing to my taste buds. So if you choose to continue, just please consider what your friends would think seeing you do that.
