People who cut dont tell people, they hide it to all. So I'm not sure i believe your story, sorry.

No hun, you are not crazy it's just a time in life when we are confused about life. I went through this and it's a life that nobody wants.. it's good that you left drugs, but why go to another addiction of cutting yourself?
Yahvah (God) gave you life so why do you want to end it? Life is precious, God is wonderful. Cutting is a big spirit!
Obviously you are not crazy because you realize that you are doing damage to your body and admiting you might be crazy, but a crazy person does not admit it.
Socialize with others, talk to a therapist, a best friend.. think about the good things in life and your accomplishments. Think about the "what if's"
^_^ Everything will be okay!!!

No, you are not crazy. You need some help getting to what is really bothering you. Once you figure that out you will get to the pain that is causing you to hide behind cutting and drugs. It is a lot of work but it can be done. Get some help, you are worth the effort. Please get help.

cutting releases endorphins which gives you a temporary relief, just like drugs basically, so in a way your still on drugs. You need to find what is stressing you out, and making you want to do these things, then solve the problem, your best resource is to talk to a cousler/shrink

I may be if you have a mental disabilaty. I would recommend for you to get help from a doctor a pyshcolical doctor. They help you along the way to stop the problem. This also may be because youre body was used to the drugs and they dont have a stimulant or depressent.

really I am ready to help ,any how , I advice you join to this program *NA* http://www.na.org/basic.htm
it free and global
Narcotics Anonymous sprang from the Alcoholics Anonymous Program of the late 1940s, with meetings first emerging in the Los Angeles area of California, USA, in the early Fifties. The NA program started as a small US movement that has grown into one of the world's oldest and largest organizations of its type.
For many years, NA grew very slowly, spreading from Los Angeles to other major North American cities and Australia in the early 1970s. In 1983, Narcotics Anonymous published its self-titled Basic Text book, which contributed to tremendous growth. Within a few years, groups had formed in Brazil, Colombia, Germany, India, the Irish Republic, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Today, Narcotics Anonymous is well established throughout much of the Americas, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Newly formed groups and NA communities are now scattered throughout the Indian subcontinent, Africa, East Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Narcotics Anonymous books and information pamphlets are currently available in 34 languages, with translations in process for 16 languages.

your not crazy...a lot of people go from one addiction to another, and cutting is truely an addiction, and should be treated as such. i suggest you go to a therapist and talk things out. theres a root to your problem, and they will help you find it. cutting sucks because it is proven harder to quit than heroine and cigarettes combined. be careful to do it on places where the least amount of damage can be done...liek th outside of your thighs, where no real main arteries are. If you do not want to go to a therapist go to a bookstore and get a book called bodily harm. it helped me out a lot and gave me new ideas of how to overcome it. stay strong! and remember the sooner youg et help the better, cutting gets progressively worse as time goes on, adn you get more and more brave until you finally do some real damage.

You're not crazy. You probably feel you have to blame yourself for all the mess, but you don't.
There is help, and it's really not worth hurting the victim here.
Cutting is also another form of addiction; satisfaction to possibly replace the feeling of being 'euphoric' from the drugs.
I recommend you talk this out with someone and get help as quick as possible.

Not crazy just finding life hard. You may need professional help to stop your cutting but until you get some try squeezing ice cubes, It gives you the physical pain but does no lasting damage. Give it a try and good luck,

Well the big picture is that you noticed that the drugs are making you mad. Thats a good start! I was once the same but used alcohol to substitute my drug habits. I feel more sane now. Not sure if thats good advice but it helped. Then I started to exercise more and jus been more active. It helps! Takes time though....good luck

It sounds like you need to find a POSITIVE way to get your stress out. The fact that you WANT to stop is wonderful! Think about things that you enjoy and treat yourself once in a while when you are stressed or angry. Find a better way to spend your time. Stop going from one detrimental thing to another.
