should i stop cutting myself?

Question

i have a very depressed life rite now, my band member died, and my gf dumped me for my guitarist...:'( plz help

Answer 1

do what you want.I cutt myself but it is my way of cooping with my problems.I honestly dont know why you would ask someone If you should stop cutting yourself,besides you know that they would say yes if they are sane.

Answer 2

Well, it can't be very pleasant, cutting yourself all the time. Besides it must be painful. Why try to destroy yourself when those around you seem to be doing what they can to do that to you without you doing it too. Rise above it, and show them all that they can't destroy you. Sorry to hear that you lost your band member, but as far as the girlfriend is concerned it sounds like you might be better off without her. Find a replacement for the band member that you lost and get out there and show them how good your band is and make a success of your life.

Answer 3

The best thing to do would be to address the source of your problems, and that can be done by visiting your doctor, as soon as possible. Girlfriends tend to come and go, throughout your early life, but, if you don't want to be constantly reminded, quit the band. Form a new one, or join another; use the internet, local newspapers, and your contacts. When you feel like cutting, put a rubber band around your wrist, stretch and release.

Answer 4

Yeah quit cutting yourself it'll leave scars. Try tattoos. Here's what I'd do if I were you. Find a new girlfriend, find a new band, and if your still feeling bad check in to a hospital, get on meds for awhile, get some counseling, get back on track, it's no big deal we all go through really low times in life. Just don't start drinking or doing drugs or stupid crap like that just complicates things.

Answer 5

Yea you should stop cutting yourself and yes your going through a hard time but you'll be over your g/f soon. It's not like her leaving you will haunt you forever even if it does feel that way now and cutting yourself can actually kill you and that DOES last forever. Your band member dying can cause alot of pain I know cause my b/f died last year. But do you think that you band member would want you hurting yourself. I think that, that person would want you to be happy and try to enjoy your life. Please if you need help you should really get it but please stop. : (

Answer 6

See a psychiatrist immediately! Cutting is a sign that help is needed. If you feel the need to cut right away and can't wait for your appointment call 1-800-SUICIDE. They help cutters as well. In the mean time I highly recommend you pick up your phone and schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Answer 7

Don't cut yourself. For starters, it isn't going to solve any of your problems & I doubt it will make you feel any better to cause physical pain to yourself. You should find somebody that you trust and talk to them about how you are feeling, or go to a grief counselor, if that is an option for you. As for your girlfriend, it's her loss. I'm sure there are lots of other girls you could go out with. But for now, just be good to yourself. I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you. This is just a low point in life. Things will get better.

Answer 8

Cutting yourself may make you feel better momentarily, but it never really solves any of your problems. You have to beleive that things will get better and then they really will. All of us have problems, nobody's life is perfect even though it make seem like it sometimes. There are other way to deal with your problems....dont cut yourself. Just hang in there. Things always work themselves out. Easier said than done.. I know. But next time you have a problem trying talking to someone you trust about it and if you dont have anyone to talk to you can e-mail me ! Kepp your head up

Answer 9

Well, the obvious answer is that you don't belong in that band anymore.

That might be painful, but you'll get through it.

Answer 10

first of all ,, doesn't life punish us enough?I'm sorry about your friend,and your girl doesn't matter anymore you now have an opportunity to re-discover what will make you happier now,without feeling obligated to compromise,or put yourself second,my daughter is comeing out of a depression that is quite similar,you need time, and permission to cry,and two lists, one for all of the negatives you want to remove from your life,another for all of the things you can think of no matter how small,that are positive about YOU. you can be careing and loveing and forgiveing to the reat of the world when you feel more whole again,and you will if you make it important to you,after all,your question made me feel for you and if you feel like your not worth anything to yourself, think about the people your cheating that you havn't even met yet.

Answer 11

Of course you should. I bet you have a ton of people who really care about you. I know that cutting yourself might feel like the only answer but its not. Talk to someone that you can trust, they can help ya. Depression sucks, i would talk to a doctor.
