AngelofLight Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 If you hav ever thought about cutting or do cut.... Just dont. It only adds physical pain to your emotional turmoil and all your left with is more pain than what your started with.... Cutting doesn help anything... If your sad or depressed then i suggest letting out your feelings some other way... I have cut a few times but then i discovered sometjing.... Most people have forgotten how to cry. When we were little what did yoi do when you were sad? We didnt cut ourselves... We cried... And i think we should cry more... Just lock yourself in your room and cry as hard as you can and as long as possible... It really takes energy and when you cant cry anymore youll feel better... I personally pray the rosary when im not happy about something but im assuming most people on here arent Catholics?? Anyways... Cutting isnt a solution... Its just another problem. And taking your own life is too, everyones life affects at least one person in some way... Dont let those people down... They love you and would never dream of losing you... Thats all i have to say... I hope i have helped at least one person by writing this... 1

SomeHeartlessVampireDude Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I understand what your saying, but cutting is somthing that relievesme of my pain. how can i give it up and let the turmoil return? 1
spirit dragon Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 you're right, but it's a vicious circle, i keep stopping but i always start again it relieves the pain how can i stop?
MissyJane Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I like this it makes me feel better bout not cuttiin.
AngelofLight Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 You jus have to have a. Strong eill... If its an addiction then you could just gradually slow it down... I heard the rubberband on the wrist idea and it sounds oike it could help... The main things is to just to want to stop hirting... Crying is painless... You just hae to try it...
eminemlover Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 umm well you have a point coz its known that tears are a type of pain killers but then again its not that easy i cry and cry coz thats what i do when im mad sad frustrated pretty much any emothion but i still feel bad so it dosnt alwys help everyone but i find cutting dose relive the pain and not to try and sound mean it is wats calms me down well besides shark movies but you know
AngelofLight Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 Yes i admit its not easy but thats where you have to find the stregnth from within yourself... Are you strong enough to control yourself? Or are you going to let the temptation just suck you in?? :/
One_Lost_Soul Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I used to cut, but I quite years ago. But when I did, it felt amazing and thats the only pain I paid any attention to, until, of course, the pain goes away and the emotional train wreck inside my head came back. It took me forever to quit though. I tried to quit cutting, but still did it occasionally. Once I began to stop the cutting, I still wanted to feel pain, so I turned to burning. I realized then that I had to stop that and I began using rubber bands on my wrists until my wrists were swollen and red. That felt a little better than breaking skin or burning it, but the pain never lasted long enough, but I popped myself over and over until I was numb in the arm. But that is all over now. That was years ago. But the scars on my arm and legs are still visible. In a way, I'm glad they are there. My scars are a part of me, and that part of me will never die. I understand what you're saying - that cutting is bad...but some of us find it soothing for only a little while to get rid of the emotional pain, that hurts a lot worse than physcial pain. Cutting (or harming) ourselves is like a drug...once you start, it's very hard to quit immediately, or quit at all.
AngelofLight Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 I know... Its just so many of us dont have the will to do something... We cant stop an addiction... But i just eanted to bring attention that its possible you just have to keep trying to fight the urge.... There is an organization called To Write Love On Her Arms... I tjink you guys should all check it out
sierra.rideux Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 you're right, but it's a vicious circle, i keep stopping but i always start again it relieves the pain how can i stop? it's the same for me. there are some days when i feel great and i have no need to cut but others i just cant handle the stress. the worst part is that i've never had an emo boyfriend so the guy i was dating never tried to actually talk about how i was feeling even when he saw the cuts. i think whatb really helps is having someone u can vent to so theres no need to cut =)
AngelofLight Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Yes i think that may help too... Like today i saw my girlfriend talking to these guys and i felt sick... But after work i waited for her to get off too and i asked for a hug and just that one hug made me not want to do it.... Bless her soul:)) she saved me so much pain<3
DeathReaper Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 okay okay,i heard enough,cutting is a drug?seriously,i mean i can't cry anymore,that's a fact,but i felt unbearable mental pain but i never cut myself but your saying that cutting is the same as crack,fine,THEN YOUR ALL FUCKING WEAK AS HELL!!!!!!!ARE YOU ALL THAT FUCKING SCARED OF PAIN!!!!!?????if you are,then you don't know pain,cause if you did,it would be an old friend to you
XxKandiexBabyxX Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I know... Its just so many of us dont have the will to do something... We cant stop an addiction... But i just eanted to bring attention that its possible you just have to keep trying to fight the urge.... There is an organization called To Write Love On Her Arms... I tjink you guys should all check it out I'm a full supporter of TWLOHA. In fact, every time I do cut I write '<3 TWLOHA <3' right above it to try to make myself stop. BUT! Some people actually need cutting. I am an example as a person that needs it. I keep things in, so I don't have anybody to talk to most of the time. Most of the time when I turn to cutting I feel just released. I get what you're saying about it being a bad addiction, but that's not the case every time. You have to look at it in a way that it's better to cut, instead of suicide. Love can give a lot of people hope, but some people can't trust. It just depends on how much of a wall that you built up. We need to find alternatives to cutting. The rubber band trick doesn't work for some, but it can also be very good for others. I'm happy for all the people that got out of it that way. It also amazes me for the people that got out of it with religion, but no two people are alike. Everybody just needs to find their alternative. Some of us just haven't found it yet, and others just don't want to accept their alternative. We just need to figure it out ourselves, hopefully one day it will click with us all.
Jennie Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I'm in the same boat as spirit dragon....I stop...But then start.. Cutting is like an addiction, I have been doing it since I was nine... I want to stop, but just can't...Well, I can, but only for a little bit...
kingdomkid1 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I cut becuz punishing myself relieves not only my pain but my guilt of anything i have or will ever do. It makes me feel cleansed and pure... Even though i wont ever be. Thank u for tryn and helping all these people, but i am u reachable. Just too far in... And as for crying, i do. A lot. Sometimes i cry as i cut. And sometimes there just arent any tears left and all i can do is cut
Guest emmi emo girl Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 i cut before but now i am onlyscratching with pins or tips of pens and stuff like that i cry ofen tho
~*becky buono*~ Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 um then well were all just in different situations because my whole life i wanted to die and been depressed and yes i cut but i cry too....when i cry i cut myself because it helps me stop and forget about everything else..... may be it might help you but it doesn't help me just crying
HaiThurCallMeDamien Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Just want to drop in. While I'm sure all of you have good friends that you would rather talk to about your problems, I am always here for you with open arms, an open heart, and an open mind. You're always free to message me and after getting to know you I'd be happy to text, call, Skype, etc. whenever. I am a cutter, I have dealt with suicide, I have dealt with losing my father, abuse, and so much more. Please don't cut, there are so many great alternatives. If you hold ice to your skin, it is very effective in giving a sting but not leaving those old scars and such. There's a lot of alternatives and discussion and support at www.teenhelp.org or www.twloha.com Check them out and talk to me any time that you need help. <3 I love you and I think you're not only beautiful inside and out, but special. I promise that you'll find something to live for and it DOES get better no matter how bad it seems. My heart is out there for all that need it and I have lots of love to give...oh, and I love to recieve it too -Laci

LiyahLovesYouAll!;) Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Hmm..well this is a very good point...but for a lot of ppl..cutting calms them down(like me) like...when I get mad or upset... I feel destructive and I feel like breaking something... But obviously I can't go around breaking things.. So I have to let the anger out through pain...it just feels better.. And I deff do cry but...idk..I sometimes let it out through violent video games but it still just... Idk lol. Im sure a lot of ppl feel the same way.. Its just..frustrating yanno?
