Has anybody else cut because they had a hard time dealing with being gay?

Answer 1

I'm not gay, and to be honest with you I have never cut myself. But I have done many things that were harmful in attempts to void out my anger and feelings of unworthiness. You'd have to hear my life story to understand exactly what I am talking about, and there is definately NOT enough room for all that on here!
But I did want to let you know that it is not abnormal for people to do things like this. That doesn't mean it's okay. If it's harming you, making you unhappy or hurting your life then you need to figure out why you are doing it. As I can see by your question, you already have, which is great because Knowing Why you do something truly is half the battle! I'm not going to tell you to see a counselour because I don't believe everyone needs to run to someone else when they have a problem. I've been to counselours b4 and some are helpful and some aren't, it's best to try to help yourself FIRST, and then go to counseling if you feel you need it.
Your going to have to 'find' yourself, in order to deal with your problems head on. Find that part of you that knows what is right or wrong and know that YOU are OKAY! You are not abnormal because there is no such thing as normal, and remember that everyone has to deal with problems at some point in there lives, it's just God's way of testing your strength, and setting you on the correct path. And you wouldn't have been given anything you couldn't handle, I know it could sound cliche to say that right now, but I had to learn that the hard way. Look it up on the internet and get all the information you can about this. If you ever want to you can email me. I do have gay friends that had a hard time in highschool (I'm not sure how old you are) but things are much better for them now.

Answer 2

There are other ways in dealing with emotional pain, ways that won't leave your body scarred for life. The gay people I know want their bodies to look good and healthy....not all scarred up. There is nothing wrong with you because you are gay. There is still a lot wrong with our society in accepting gays, but our society has been so wrong in so many areas in the past. It's hard being what society thinks is different or unacceptable, but you can get through this. Be who you are, not what others expect you to be. If it's your parents you are most worried about, write them a letter if you can't come out and tell them. It will be hard at first, but once you come out, at least you free yourself up from trying to be something or someone that you are not...and a lot of your emotional pain will have an outlet...at least it's open for discussion. If your friends are true friends they will accept you no matter what. Best of wishes....

No. But a friend of mine is a cutter and from what I have seen it is not a good thing. I took her to a doctor, now she is much better. She said that cutting took away the emotional pain that she felt. You know it's only a short term remedy, when the cuts start healing the emotional pain is still there.

Answer 5

Not sure what you mean. I tried to commit suicide when I was about 19-20 because I couldn't deal with the fact that I was gay. Is that what you mean? If it is---life has gotten a lot better for me over the years and it will for you too. Trust me.

Answer 6

I didn't cut but I was self-destructive in other ways. I wasn't thinking straight (no pun intended) and never thought that I'd have the courage to come out as gay but I did.

You have hard times by being anything, people in the past had hard times being black. People have hard times being fat, people have hard times being short or a midget, people have hard times being bald, people have hard times for being weird, BOTTOM line is people have hard times being different.

No. Maybe it was drugs and alcohol for me... I finally got clean and have been for 2 years.

It is not a disease or cancer. Why would someone have a hard time dealing with it? If you don't want other people know who you are, just hide it. Remember that it is not your fault.

Answer 10

No. I've never really given a fiddlers fart what other people think. I live my life for me, not for society. Regardless of what you do, people are going to think what they want to anyways, so to heck with it.
