Lately I’ve had lots of thoughts about cutting…I’ve never done it before. But I’ve know people who have and they say it relieves their pain and makes them feel better.
I guess the only thing stopping me is the pain. (Ironic that I could try to kill myself but not bring myself to slash my wrist lol right?)
i just want some of my pain to go away. I’ve never been 100% positive about suicide so this sounds good idk.
How bad does it hurt?

that completely depends on how deep you go. the shallower, the less painful. the quicker you are, the less painful it is. the more distraught your state of mind is, the less painful it is. also, I’ve found arms hurt more than legs, and the stomach is somewhere between the two. in all honesty, cutting has never done much for me. people have different reasons for doing it in the first place, and people get different things out of it. I’d really consider your motivations before ever even trying it, and if you do end up cutting, ask yourself what you really got out of it before trying again
I’ve never been able to bring myself to cut… I have a huge fear of blood, so it makes me sick to think about it 🙁 But I have heard that it helps a lot.
I found it to be a diversion from other pain – like biting your lip when you stub your toe (stupid analogy I know) or maybe more like biting the back of your hand when you are so exasperated you can’t stand it. Nonetheless it seems like trading one pain for another, and it can become addictive if you do it frequently.
Some people do it just for the attention or as a way of asking for help. But I’ve never felt the need to “flaunt” it. There is a significant risk of infection too so as luckystar said, examine your motives while you are still in control of the situation. I can relate to the whole cutting thing but it’s best to avoid it.
I used to cut… It doesn’t hurt,.. I feel like it relieves my pain, my way of crying . Not saying it won’t hurt because it may, but for me it doesn’t….
Cutting is awesome. It is a fantastic relief from emotional pain. But beware. It is highly addicting. It is like a drug. Do I love playing World of Warcraft? Yes. Do I recommend to others? No. I wouldn’t want anybody else to waste so much time and effort in something so silly. Well, same with cutting.
Even though cutting does help relieve pain in some people I would never recommend it to anyone. I started cutting around a year and a half ago and had the hardest time stopping. On November 10th I cut then I had stopped until a couple days ago when I finally caved in. It really can be an addictive thing. If you have the opportunity not to do it please don’t. I wish I could go back everyday because of how it has taken over my life.
