So I haven’t cut in about a month or two… but today I gave in I couldn’t take it I had to do it. It felt so good to have that burning feeling rush through my arms again. I’m kind of disappointed in myself though. Hmm, oh well. At least I tried.
BeautyIsSkinDeep,
Honestly I don’t get it? I get depressed like everyone else but cutting? Makes you feel good? Should I try it? Will it make me feel better? So many people are into this am I missing the boat? Is it better than sex? I just don’t get it.
I actually have to agree with rocketman on this. Does it give some people pleasure to hurt themselves? I understand doing it because it kind of numbs feelings sometimes, but doing it because you like it? …is it honestly better than good things, such as sex, or even just hugging and touching?
I thought the same thing at first.
I don’t think you should try it though.. It’s really hard to stop once you start. It’s kind of like an addiction. Well for some people. Cutting has just always been my release, it’s the only thing that gets my mind off of everything. But I would advise you not to try it.
BeautyIsSkinDeep,
Well then try something else let your girlfriend or boyfriend whip you with one of those little leather whips or something “And I don’t mean to draw blood!â€
I’ve tried lots of things but they never work, everyone is different though.
I wish I would of never started though because now it’s really hard to stop.
Have you tried giving advice to other people. It might not sound as good or all that, but just listen to someone else’s bullshit and advise them. (Or not, if they just want to be listened.)
Probably I’ve missed the cutting section of the topic but I’d like to add that cutting is a coping mechanism like any other; works for some and not for others. It’s highly addictive and so is not advised to try. I relate to it being somewhat soothing but its unhealthy. Not as simple just to think of listening to music or taking up a hobby unfortunately. Wish it was that easy. I’m sorry you cut beauty but things can change we just have to keep trying different things till something works. If it doesn’t work it isn’t right that’s all that means x
Thank you for understanding! I’ve tried to stop cutting it usually lasts a couple months because my sport season starts and it sometimes takes my mind off of everything bad in the world. But I always go back to cutting I don’t know why.

Maybe I just don’t understand though.

I’ve tried it. But I never got addicted to it.
But there can be other ways to block out all the drama. And no, not alcohol or drugs. So I guess I still don’t really understand.

Uhm maybe if I were older i’d try that, but for now… I don’t think so.

Why is it hard to stop?
Start something new, then you can leave the old one. You just have to start something new.
Sinine,
I don’t know what else to try, I’ve tried sports, I’ve tried writing, I’ve tried talking to someone. None of it ever works.
Have you tried giving advice to other people. It might not sound as good or all that, but just listen to someone else’s bullshit and advise them. (Or not, if they just want to be listened.)
Sorry, if that answer makes you cross.
Hmm, good idea. I should try that.
Try music? But for music, I think I would’ve killed myself already.
Music only helps when it’s stress from grades and stuff like that.
For me it does more than just that. Maybe you don’t listen to the ‘right’ kind of music.
What type of music do you listen to?
Anything that makes me feel that I’m not completely dead.
Explosions in the Sky – Have You Passed Through This Night?
Tell me, does that make you feel anything
Woah why have I never heard this before.
What did you like about it?
I like the speech in the beginning.
“This great evil – where’s it come from?
How’d it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who’s doing this?
Who’s killing us, robbing us of life and light?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might of known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, help the grass to grow and the sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you, too?
Have you passed through this night?”
And I don’t know there’s just something about the music, is this song from like a movie or something?
No, it’s not.
What do you usually listen to then?
Everlast -lonely road
Mumford and sons awake my soul
XX-Shelter
Everlast – I Get By
These are some of my favorite songs.
Shelter by XX
I know/like that song, her voice is nice.
And Mumford and sons to me is funny ’cause they are brits trying to be hicks.
I don’t know I like that song by them, I’ve only heard two of them though.

The words at the beginning are from the movie The Thin Red Line (see quote here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMVOkGMKSJs )
