Hi, I’m Ray. I have no special poem. No dramatic story to tell. I just have one question…
Does cutting help at all? im trying to make myself happier. i get really angry and frustrated, untill i dont know what to do, so i cut.. and it makes me feel beter, but of course it fucks up my wrists, and after about a year of cutting, im running out of space…
But i feel better when i cut, so is it actually good, or am i just stupid?

It helps if you don’t regret it.
Just my opinion… But I regret it a lot; though I feel better during those few seconds i’m doing it.
I regret everything ive ever done in life….if i had no regrets i wouldent be cutting in the first place.. ive never done anything right, so it makes me feel alot better, it also makes me happy, it gives me a rush… i wanna end it…but i cant leave my best friend… she is the only thing that is stoping me from ending it, ive already tried twice..
I regret it sometimes. Makes me feel better. I cut over old scars cause i run out of room too
I feel like I’ve done nothing right either. It hurts cause people tell me that too. 🙁 My parents tell me, my family, my friends, teachers. Cutting gives me a lift up from the despair I feel.
Well my dad tell me to stop being an emo ******…. and my mom just tells me to stop being a baby…my brother says i must just go die… they have always been like that… cutting is my escape… but i feel like its just not enough anymore..i need something more…
Cutting takes the pain from inside you and puts it on the outside.
It’s a coping mechanism that helps to release your brains natural pain killers.
It’s not the same as trying to kill yourself, it’s about trying to stay alive.
But unfortunately it’s kinda like practicing, better to find a safer way to cope.
Peace
I am trying to stay alive, i have to, i cant leave my best friend, i love her too much ( im a guy, this is not some bullshit friendship of cam whoring, ive knows her for a long ass time bla bla bla ) but, im seeing a phycologist, and thats not helping at all, and im really scared that my dad finds out… he will beat me again… i think for now cutting is the best thing that i can do…its the only way right now…i have some hope..not much but some…
Same here. I know how you feel
Hey, Ray. I’d like you to know I admire you for not taking the “easy way” out of your problems. I admire that a best friend is all you need to keep breathing. Now, I don’t know how old you are, but I’m sure soon you’ll be able to escape your abuse and live to write a book or maybe even tell this story to your kids someday. xoxo -H.B
Its strange to think that causing yourself pain helps, but for me, one cut does more than an entire day of tears.
Cutting makes you feel better as you can visually see that ‘cut’/’memory/feeling’ healing. Personally I would suggest buying two note books. One note book is for happy thoughts/memories/photos and basically writing up the good days. See how that goes! Hope this helps
It doesn’t help, and I don’t always cut, but I guess if you are hurt, you don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know why it feels better though.
I cant cut, it doesn’t work for me so I just keep repeatedly hitting my leg and my arm when my leg has no space, it’s good because the bruises are harder to show up and take less than a week to dissapear. I am also very clumsy so I can just say I fell over or tripped up some stairs if someone asks. Everyone has their own way (mostly people cutting, I don’t know anyone else who does what I do, I’m a bit weird like that). As long as you don’t regret it… I dont because it makes me feel better, and I don’t care about bruises… But I must admit I really don’t understand why it feels better but it does… It’s so confusing!
As i recall, I “cut” (today I’d refer to it as ‘scratch’) for a short while when I was a teen … it never made me “feel better”. Once I believed I had the sufficient focus and ‘bravery’ to actually do it, it became pointless to continue. personally, I think the act of cutting doesn’t have so much to do with the ability to withstand and inflict the physical pain, but more the power to control the pain/damage inflicted. when kids have so much in their lives being controlled by others I think this act gives them the control that they feel has been taken (or was never given) from them. I think there can be other less destructive/negative outlets and releases that can accomplish this.
unbreached dawg
Well im actually still very young, so i dont wanna make a stupid decision and kill myself. I’m only 15, still have alot to learn. I really like the notebook idea that was brought up, im a musician so i write alot about how i feel ( not musician as in i can play a flute, musician as in i play about 7 instruments, i sing, well, and i compose music , punk music) . What gets me down alot is when people call me emo, because 90% of people dont know what an emo is. and as a musician it pisses me off, because emo is an offshoot of punk bla bla, anyway. Whenever i dont cut i get really stressed, so stressed that i throw up, wich is bad…
Dawg, what you say makes sense, but i know im in control, i cut because i dont know what else to do, its a sort of last resort type thing.
