Cutting???

Question

I think I have a serious problem. I begin to cut when I feel sad. I have a right too, because I get beaten we r broke because of drug users in my household I have witnessed both parents begin to murder each other, and well you get the picture. I AM WAY TO YOUNG FOR THIS. I dont want to get addicted and not be able to quit but i get daily urges. I HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT TELL MY PARENTS. please help me i dont not want to commit suicide

Answer 1

cutting, okay. i cut all the time, just dont get it too deep though. plus, you might want to go speak to a shrink, uh, a psychologist for your household problems, as for the drug issue well, it isnt really the legal thing to do. i know i shouldnt be saying this (since ur too young and all) but shift to another vice like drinking.
lol
just kidding
you better focus on other things and stay away from home as much as possible.. only if you cant really stand it. focus on school, that may also help.
as for the drug (this time for real) sign yourself into a rehab. but think first, you may sign yourself in but it isnt that easy getting yourself out, and if ur this weak already, u might go crazy inside there. talk to a friend. or ur guidance councelor. go seek help outside a rehab, if nothing works.. then u'll know what to do.

Answer 2

Its understandable that some things in your life are too hard to face. But you need to. Don't let the stupid decisions and mistakes that your parents or anyone else in your house makes affect you. Cutting is a very serious problem, and if you really want to get help for it, coming on here asking for advice is probably not the way to do it. You should talk to a counselor, or an advisor. Or even just a friend that you really trust. There is always something more that you can do; read a book, go for a walk, or just go over to some friends houses. Please know that cutting is not only going to hurt you, but it will also hurt the people around you. Suicide is the easy way out, you were given this world to make the best of your life. You need to do that and learn to love yourself.

Hey, slow down....you are old enough to know right from wrong--what others do that is wrong is not your fault---what dangers there are around you require you to be strong and alert, not weepy and weak. get a grip here---you do the cutting as an anxiety release---and quite possibly for some attention----stop it---all the attention you need is at the school counselor's office--they will listen to you when the going is tough. They will get involved with your problems and help you get through them. If you do get to cutting they will find out, anyway. Then they will treat you as a troubled person---sure you have troubles but you need to stand tall, stay alert, and stop seeing this as reason to hurt yourself--it should be making you stronger. Millions of people have troubles like yours--and they do what you do--they just don't see the importance of staying strong for your own well being. You can't punish yourself for what is going on--NOT YOUR FAULT. You must think that the troubles will stop if you do something to yourself and they have to switch the attention to you---it only will add to the troubles--not help. Do the RIGHT thing here, stay away from the troubles, get to talking with a counselor, have some respect and dignity for yourself---doing the right thing is something to be proud of---calm down, relax, find outside diversions, take each day as a gift--make the most of YOUR day--what the others in your family do is all up to them--they make bad choices--you make GOOD cholces--be the better person. I really hope you see my points. Good luck

It is good that you can realize this is a problem early.
Many people who start cutting continue for quite some time and end up badly scarred. This can prevent job opportunities later in life.

One of the main reasons people cut is to release pain physically they can't release emotionally.

There are several options for you so please don't feel alone.
How old are you? Depending on what state you live in you can go see a doctor without a parent. A doctor can give you resources.
There are also free or reduced rate counselors. You can get out the phonebook and start making calls. They have to respect your confidentiality so you can ask them not to call you back at home. Keep in mind that if you reveal that you are in harm (drug dealers in your home) a counselor may have to report to Child Services. They shouldn't report if you just talk about cutting.
You can also go to the local social services office (more known as the welfare office) and they will have a list of resources for you.
You can also talk to your school guidance counselor.
Or you can simply talk to a trusted adult, ANY trusted adult.

You need to talk with an adult. Someone that can be on your side and help you assess your options. If your afraid they will talk to your parents make out a privacy contract. Tell them you need to talk to them but will only do it if they sign your privacy contract. This isn't legally binding but will let them know you are serious.

There are also 1-800 numbers. Call your local operator and ask for the local help line. Every state has one.
Here is a website for suicide support in case you are seriously thinking about it:

And here is their phone number: You can just call and talk, it doesn't have to be super serious: 1-800-273-8255

And Congratulations To You For Wanting to Have a Healthier Life!!!!!

Answer 5

omg! i fell really bad, well, call the police if you really want because you can go to a foster home, or you can just leave you house, man im not saying that cutting is a bad thing, but i would be too if i had to live in that. Trust me, if u went to a foster home, you would be soooooooooooo much happier and that way, you can also get help for cutting so u dont have to commit suicide. but seirously, call a peer hot line, or something and they can help, i cant help that much, but i can give u an idea, and also, try to stay away wen ppl in ur house r on drugs, as u probably already no, they get really stupid, and i hope u dont mind me asking, but how old r u? cause if ur like 10 then u would probably wanna leave home. Could u imagine living like this for the rest of you life? i luv my family and everyone in my house hold, u have a chance to have a better life, lol, that sounds really cheesy, but its, true, if you go on google or yahoo, they probably have hot lines for u if u wanna try it. GOOD luck and HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!

There is always something more that you can do read a book, go for a walk, or just go over to some friends house.

Cutting, Drugs and even Suicide is the easy way out, you were given this world to make the best of your life. You need to do that and learn to love yourself.
I hope this helps because you need to know that someone in the world loves u 4 u even if they dont know a thing about you. :)

Ya telling your parents is a bad idea. Especially if they are so oblvious they dont already know.
Let me tell u something, I have been to hell before. The darkest, burning, rotting of skin part of hell. AND there is only ONE things that helped me get threw it. God. I wasnt spirtual at all, but after i had no where else to turn, God REALLLLY helped me get threw it. People kept telling me to read the bible and i was like, "whatever f*ck u," kinda thing, but its AMAZING what he can do! When things dont seem possible or if there is no hope anywhere, you will suprised what a little faith can do!! OMG!
First, My friend who was a senior in high school entered the lottery on her 18th birthday, and WON $12,000 and because she told me God told her to give her some money, SHE GAVE ME $6000! Plus there was a brand new guy in town who said i was beautiful, and ended up asking me out (were still going out to this day!) I used to be gothic and deeply depressed because of zillions of situations, but now i am as happy as ever!
So let me tell you--when your feeling down, pray. Then shoot your self with an airsoft gun in the legs--its a start from getting away from the cutting, and it hurts to help the pain, and its less dangerous. But its painful, i used to do that.
Soo good luck, and PLEASE email me if i can help you more in ANY way at all.! :)

Answer 8

I am a survivor of cutting! Honestly I got worse and worse. I have gotten close to a total of 100 stitches and when my arms were to mutilated I cut on my legs. Nothing helped me, well nobody helped me. I am 22 and I started at 13 with small razor cuts. then worse by age 15 with the stitches. This is not a guide or encouragement to do it.
This is a serious disorder. I went through hell, because therapists didn't understand and neither did anyone else. Got treatment until I was almost 16 then went to foster care. I quit cutting at 16 before the foster home.
I helped myself. I will tell you what I told myself everyday!
I am better than my parents.
I will love myself more than anyone ever could.
I deserve to live better than the bad examples.

Seriously, now I am married (5 years) and 2 kids, I still have no idea how I am going to explain the scars to my kids. I am going to have to lie to them. I don't want them to know that I cut and mutilated myself because I didn't know how to deal with my feelings. Not a chance that I am going to tell my kids that.
So, think seriously about how bad things are and make the choice to be 100 times better than all of it. Don't scar you body for life and then get stuck in 5 years trying to explain yourself to boyfriends or young kids, because young kids ask a lot of questions. You don't have to be as worthless as your family. If it is as bad as you are saying, you can only be better. If you need to talk my e-mail is candy192111@yahoo.

I hope this helps and you aren't crazy or sick, just emotionally suffering!

Answer 9

First thing is to go to your school counselor. I know you may not want to but they are there for you and it doesn't sound like the people in your house care much about you if there are drugs involved. Parents have a duty to put you first and if there is drug use then they are neglecting the most precious thing they have, and that is you! Go talk to a responsible adult.
Good luck and God Bless You!

Answer 10

How old are you? You need to feel better about yourself honey. I think you maybe cutting in order to make something else hurt besides your heartache. Maybe go talk to a counselor or a parent of a friend. You have to talk to someone. Not Yahoo Answers.

Email me if you want to talk. Really.
