Someone whos gone through this before?

Question

if you were a cutter?

what happened when you told someone and who did you tell

Answer 1

If I may show my own ignorance for a second, what is a cutter?

Answer 2

I am not a cutter. But my friend was. When I first met her and she told me that. I was kind of shocked because she never looked like a cutter. But she said she stopped and that she was all depressed last year. Now she is really happy.

Edit: Dude below me a cutter is someone who cuts their wrists. People will do it because they are depressed and can find no other help so they will sometimes just cut.

Answer 3

I was a cutter for years. My arms are still covered in scars.

The thing is, I was cutting because I felt alienated from the rest of the human race, like they didn't matter to me nor I to them.

I don't cut anymore, but I still kind of feel the same way. I've made a efw good friends, and married a wonderful woman since, but the whole "not caring about other people's opinions" thing is still going on, so I don't really care what anybody thinks about the scars.

I doubt that helps, but it's my two cents anyway.

Answer 4

Are you doing that to yourself? I would just like to say its a temporary relief for something called LIFE that never goes away. In the end, you are left with visible scars, that remind you of your hard times, and make them that much harder to forget. It may feel good when you do it, but it feels so shameful to look back on. I would urge you to find someone that will not judge you for doing it. Sometimes some people have no one to turn to and they must make the realization that its harmful, and stop it on their own. Its hard, but you can do it. Sometimes it seems like an addiction, the pain. But with enough will power you can stop. Im sorry you are feeling this way, if it is you, that you are referring to. If not, and it is a friend, I suggest you speak to them. Again, judging or being judged doesnt help the situation one bit.

Im done

Answer 5

I am not a cutter but my most awesome friend was. He did not seem sad at all but I guess he was. He said I was the only one he ever told. I helped him stop. I check his arms weekly.
