i cut myself 17 times a few wks ago?

Question

and haven't done it since, WHY????? what if i snap and do it 17 more times why did i only do it then

Answer 1

It's called cutting and is very dangerous. It becomes addicting and is often used to release powerful emotions. You need to find someone you trust that you can talk to about this and if you can, you should see a counselor or a psychologist.

Answer 2

I know only a limited amount about cutting but I do know that when people cut themselves it is to release the pain they feel on the inside by seeing and feeling a visible pain/blood on the outside. Most people don't try to kill themselves but that can be the result. You bottle all of your emotions up inside you and don't want to talk about them. You take responsibility for so much more than you might be able to handle and you don't have an outlet for that frustration, rage, guilt. I don't know if the number of cuts is significant for one thing is certain. You need to talk to a professional, someone who won't freak out or blow you off. You need some counselling before you end up accidentally doing something you regret. Good luck and God bless you.

Answer 3

The next time you have an emotional negative moment you will do it again especially if when you cut yourself it felt good or relieving. You have a big emotional problem or secret that you have to get rid of. You CANNOT hide this problem in the closet coz it won't go away. Talk about it. Find someone you can trust and talk your problems, preferably a therapist, priest, social worker even a teacher, but please seek help. the burden you are carrying is not worth it, trust me. I carried mine for too long.

Hey there

People sometimes cut because they have intense feelings and dont know what to do.. or how to cope with them.

You havent siad why you cut. But can try and understand.

I used to cut went i felt intensely sad., stressed ... even angrey. I would cut. Mabe that day you were angrey? Sad? Stressed? and didnt understand the feeling you were having.

Dont be ashamed that you cut yourself. Dont feel it is wrong. Just know form someone who has bin there. It is very addictive. and can be dangerous. be very careful.

talk about it with a adult you trust. School Counsler? or no one? if you feel it want happen again the let it be.

Mabe you were just trying it out, and thats ok.

goodlucK!

Answer 6

Some people do it because of the emotional pain they are feeling inside and they need a physical way to see the relief of it. Instead of cutting yourself try holding ice cubes it has the same affect but without the danger.

Answer 7

When I did it, it was because I was so depressed, I wanted to feel pain anywhere else to distract me from the pain I was feeling inside. I STRONGLY recommend you see your doctor as soon as possible to get some help. It very well may happen again depending on what is bothering you. You may not even know there is something bothering you, I didn't. Go get some help from the people who know what to do. Good luck!!

I hope you did it out of curiosity to see what all the fuss was about. If not, you did it as a coping mechanism for stress. There must be something bothering you that you don't know how to deal with. Get proffessional help now so it does not continue. God Bless

Answer 10

You may well do it again, so see your doctor and ask to be referred for treatment. When you feel the need to cut, put a rubber band around your wrist (for a few minutes, maximum!), stretch and release. Phone 1800 dont cut & see http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych (/psych/injury.html)
