cutting usually happens at first when u dont feel good about yourself and hate yourself because how others see you and what they say to you. its not ur fault technically if u self harm its theirs for being so damn rude and not seeing how theyve hurt you
a year clean, but still in pain. i was hurting myself, while being convinced it was others who hurt me and caused me to hurt myself... but it was all me...
i think you guys are stupid to judge us cutters and say were harming our selfs i was put inside an isane isilom just for one little cut i still do it of course my reason is be cause it reliefs my pain and it keeps me from killing my self
my friend jenny cuts. i hate looking at the scars all over her arms. its not as minor as it sems you could get yourslef killed if you cut in the wrong place
Those of us who have a past history with self harming ourselves may try to look toward Jesus. I have found myself trying time and time again. I sit there and try to find a way to stop. May way came in the place of a young man whom I loved. Then God took him from me, by death. I still love God and the young man. The reason I stopped was because God gave me Joseph. At 16, pain is still all I feel, but everytime I go to hurt myself. Joseph's memory stops me.
if you suffer from self injury & want some help on recovering or just want to talk about it. there is a formspring set up to where you can freely & anonymously talk about you suffering. its helped many people & it can help you if you'll let it. just go to formspring . com & search with name "selfinjury101" it'll pop up & you can freely ask questions and advise.
We had to watch a program on self-harm in my English class, and everyone just said the pictures were scary. It's saying things like that, that makes them pictures come true. Cutting is not the best way to solve your problems, but to me, it helps when no-one wants to talk to me.
cutting doesnt help. really.. your spreading your pain towards everyone who cares and loves you. i chose emotional pain, over physical. its just not worth it, so to all cutters... you will find the light. just search for it..
We all have problems, its called being human. Hey if you wana cut go ahead but its not going to solve anything. Life is just one big mess, but you gota dig through the shit to find the gems.
hi. I've gotta question. I know the photos are taken from DA. I've been looking there for the photo of a girl with a razor blade, sitting on the stairway. I can't find it... can you give me some help? like key words or sth? (btw I've got an account on DA)
you I watch video's like these to try and shock myself into not thinking about self harming but it only kind of works....it sucks that no one really understands what I've been through
I´m a cutter. No one understands me, no friends, and even though my parents have seen my scars they never ask...they all just say that it´s silly, stupid and that it´s just to stop doing it. If it was that simple, if I had another way of getting my pain out of my body, I would´ve stopped cutting a long time ago...
AMAZING video and pics. I cut for 9 years. Everyday. It got to the point to where I was cutting over healing scabs for room. I stopped after a few short(but deep) relapses. It's been 3 years since and I feel the temptation of it more and more lately. I never found the appropriate way to cope. Still holding on here....but even years later...it's still hard and hard to explain the scars and ignore what people must think of them

I am almost 35 and still cut..Had a doctor tell me that people like us are "wired" to do this, as a way to cope..that this will be me for the rest of my life..nice to know...
I talked to 10 teachers... none of them can help. It just makes it wrose. My story is simple. But am not gonna share it. I mean no one cares.. no say anything, if i tell them, all they say is STOP, but how is that gonna help? The only person that cares, is my best friend, his name is nate, but sadly hes dating my friend. I love him to death (yes, am a girl). The most sad part about this is, my friends are the ones who hurt me phyicaly. and my family hurts me mentaly.
I still cut myself , most of the time its when i get upsett.
I find it really hard to control it , i did stop for about a month because my sister found out and kept checking my arms. But now its worse , much worse.....
My sister tires to help me and keeps try to tell my parents , Most of the time i cut to help me and it works , it makes me feel better. i do need help but i dont know how.
I like that this video shows the ugliness of the addiction. Other videos on youtube make it a sad, yet aesthetic and almost romantic thing and so idolise it without wanting it. This one gives a better impression than others.
the best words I think I've ever heard that I think everyone especially teenagers should think about Sticks & stones may break her bones but words could do so much more Im a living example of this I like to say Im normal & that all the scars I have r from accidents but thats a lie Some people might say its pathetic and their just words but verble emotional&mental abuse can make a person do many things It drove me to cut purge &starve myself Think about that b4 u go and call someone fat or stupid
Wonder at the human genius for self-destruction Imagination turned upon itself To fascinate the empty moment Transform Clear space to blind compulsion Smooth skin to a knot a scar tissue And with practiced diligence Pick apart that most marvellous construction Exchange Appetite for addiction Well-being for a weeping sore
I used to be a cutter. Since 2008. I quit in May. I realized what it's been doing. When I look at my scars, I don't feel ashamed. It lets me know what I've gone through, and some of the mistakes I made along the way. But I believe there's always hope, and certain obstacles get you to where you are today. There's hope for everyone out there. And those who judge those who do cut, don't know what it's like. There's always a way out of the depression you're facing. You just gotta believe.
I'm 16, I think I've been cutting for about a 2 years, I've been depressed 2.5-3 maybe even 4...I went through some serious shit....rape, parents divorce, drama at school, etc...and my depression got worse...I had a friend I talked to about everything...he told me not to start this because I'd never be able to stop...I started it though I promised I wouldn't...though it only started with a safety pin. It's now a razor, that friend got me farm but I started again..get help...please. =(
@machihuahua I remember this feeling, although I am now 38 years old I can still feel the misery that I went through as a teen. I was so desperate for love, looking for something that I could never find. Cutting was a relief for my anger and disappointment in life. But now that I am older, it saddens me to think of those times. I got through and u can 2. I found hope and love and a true Father in Christ. if u would like to know how to have this hope i will tell you
I love this video so much. it makes me want to cry. I was watchin it with my ex and he was like "why would ppl do that. its so stupid. its like how pathetic do u have to be. blahblahblah" if only he knew my past. i wanted to punch him soooo bad....
I will simply say that this is an amazing documentation of the reality of pain and desperation that is 'Cutting'. Indeed there are SO many who are unaware of the numbers, the truths, the magnitude of sadness, the variety of who indulges, and the list goes on... Thank you for composing and posting this visualization~
My fiance has told me stories of what has happened to her, and every time I think about it I cry my eyes out, but I do not see that as a reason to cut myself. I feel as if it would make it worse if i did because it's not my pain.Therefore I have to live with it. I feel you pain but I can do nothing about it. If i committed suicide I know she would too (even though she promised never to try to kill herself over me again (we went through an almost-break-up)). I can do nothing, and it's killing me
if the world just new... i started self abusing as a young adult i self abused in many different ways i have been in therapy sinse i was 4 or 5 years old i finally found someone who gave meds that work and has been of a great help to me we as individuals have to find our own way in our own time try to be strong even while your in so much pain
I was a cutter,bi,alcoholic,drug addict and smoker and I am FREE! Brothers and sisters, there is only one Savior & that is Jesus.Please do not believe the lies that freedom is in doing whatever you want-that way only pulls you down another dark road.Take it from someone who knows. I will pray for all of you to fall in love with the one who shed His blood for you
~soft smiles~ i'm a "cutter" myself.....a tattoo on my arms covers the fading scars...i was "introduced" to Plumb tonight from a contemporary Christian channel i was watching on TV......i saw this song in the sidebar while listening to "In Your Arms".....when i saw the word "cut"....i knew what it was about.....just wanted to post a thanks to whomever posted this video.....

I used to cut a long time ago, maybe 20 years or so ago.Recently I had people look at my arm and ask whats that? ahh I fell off a swing when I was a kid I say, they donnt beleave me. LOL, what would you say If I cut myself. Its too hard to explain. Do you ever feel something that you can't put on paper, some thing so personal. That you feel so low, so worthless. But for some reason you need to carry on.
cutitng is more than just something you do when you are sad, it is an addiction! you want to stop but you cant. It really is a hell on earth but at the same time it is heaven, it makes you feel better, it makes you stop feeling like shit. But at the same time it makes you depressed cause of what you are doing to yourself. To all the other cutters out there: Have strength! Have Hope! Have Love! you are all loved more than you could know!
@MysteriesOfNox i totally agree on every word u said cuz its true well for me it is cuz i went and felt the exact same things tht u describe..sure its hard but there r ppl who care for us..
My friend is in highschool. She is cutting. I am scared and i don't know how to help her. She's trying to stop, but i want to be able to help her and i don't know how.
I had a couple of friends in highschool that cut and they hurt me when i found out. i was balling for days. just because i found out they were hurting themselves. so please try and stop because your just not hurting yourselves your hurt everyone around you...
i used to struggle with that to but you seem like a good friend. one of my "friends" said how i was going emo and making jookes. my other friends thought i was an emotional wreck. like i swear. The only reason I stopped was because of videos like this.
people do care mystica. you just don't see what is really going on. I am 36 years old and I am certainly not or ever was "emo". I still struggle with it. So until you know who and what your talking about toward EVERYONE just keep your opinions to yourself.
@ClythiaMystica, you know what, not everyone who cuts is emo. Just like not all emo's cut. Jeeze, seriously, wake up and shake off the stereotypes or find out more before commenting.
@loriannhood It's so difficult to stop, but when you know how it affects others, it's well worth it. There are other ways of dealing with the pain; writing, talking, singing... also, what I was told, wear a rubber band/ pony tail holder on your wrist, snap it whenever you feel you need to cut. I promise you that you will find a way, I promise everything will get better, whatever you're going through. Just remember hope, remember that you are loved, even if you don't believe it. It will be okay.
A lot of people, including the therapist I had after the event, have always said that what happened when I was 13 was my fault. I say whatever. I don't care that they say it's my fault. When you think about it...that's actually why I started cutting. Because of what the therapist said...I figured cutting was a great way of punishing myself for it...didn't work. I just have scars upon scars, got addicted to it...it wasn't worth it. Still isn't...but it happens, regardless...
I've been a victim of a internet predator as well, he raped me, that's one of the reasons why I started cutting. I was told that it was my fault too, that the rape could have been prevented and ect. If you want to talk, feel free to. I'm young, but I've been through a lot too.. And you might not know me well, but sometimes it's easier to talk to people online rather than in real life.. if you want to talk, I'll listen and help if I can.. I just want you to know, you're not alone
I haven't cut in 6 months or so. I typically go through about 3 to 6 months between outburts of cutting. I'll typically cut once or twice, and then that's it until my next major issue happens...I've been cutting since I was 13...successful prey of an internet predator. Say what you want about how it was my own fault, I don't care. I just miscarried for the second time within a year...I feel like cutting, but I can't because I'm scared of what my husband would do if I started again. I feel alone.
I have just moved back in with my mother and i am finding it so hard cause i have no razors. I have been using my mothers kitchen knives to cut, but they arent good enough.
Another aspect of cutting is the fact that since you are the thing you hate it feels like you're doing something about the problem when you cut yourself, you're actually harming the thing that causes you the most pain. Kind of like how you feel better after getting revenge on smeone who's wronged you
i grew up in foster care because my biological parents didnt want me... they abandoned me... my mother sold me to drug dealers pretty much... i was raped, beat and abused mentally,sexually, and emotionally... so yeah i know what it is like somewhat...
oh my God! i am disgusted at the lengths satan will got to in order to make others unhappy... i have always been to scared of pain to cut... but my life has been horrible. i tried to commit suicide a few times, and God was merciful.... i know what it is like to feel nothing but after years of emotional pain i prefered it that way... wow... i am so sorry for anyone who has to go through shit that would make them do something like this... i know what it is like to be that depressed....
to everyone who is still a cutter or wants to self harm there is hope and help i use to do it when i was younger bc life sucked back then but at 22 now mother and a wife i am gald i did not succeed in dying i am gald god let me live. i could not see it then but now i know why i didnt die back then...
well i want to cut.... but im to scared to. i look forward to the future and what i woud miss out...thats why i dont want to try..... im tempted to... and my parents dont reailize that.... both my mom and sister suffer with depression but they dont relieze that i might since they are too worried about other things and people
@notsonormalgirl I know girl, this last year was the worst for everyone in my family. They get so wrapped up in their worlds, they don't see us falling.
Try this next time your temped, do something that you've always wanted to do. If you need to talk, I'll listen.
@notsonormalgirl please trust me once you start you get hooked. it has took me 2 painful years to quit cutting. it is the worst feeling. you want to do it so bad even when you tell yourself it is not worth it. It is like being addicted to cigarettes. I have quit for almost 2 months and there are times i want to put a razor to my skin, but i try so hard to tell myself no...you are lucky that you have not started.
I totally sync up with this. I actually started cutting because my mom is bipolar, and all my time and energy goes to taking care of her mental disease. It's like I'm not allowed to break down because she does it all the time.
It's a hard place to be in, but you're better off not starting. The hardest part is explaining the scars to every single future lover you'll ever have. It's not something you can hide forever, and the temporary relief isn't worth the burden you'll always carry.
@crystalynn2006 i attempted suicide not too long ago and at the time i wanted to cry that i lived but i got back into shape and i love every minute of my life
Cutting is an escape for people who ave no way to vent their emotions, people who want to feel something because they are numb they want to feel and can't so they do it and when one person dies they have felt enough but is too late and have comitted sucide.
yeshhh defo!!!!! this song is amazing, and i have a friend who self-harms, but with help from her friends, shes getting out of it.... i just hope that some people cud get that kinda help before something terrible happens xxx this song made me cry wen i listened to the lyrics xxx <3 xxx
my friend just cut herself and what for? When things dont go your way, don't get upset MOVE on. If you've turned down a wrong path change direction an fix your mistakes. Life is to short to hold regrets or be upset. Speak your mind and tell the truth all though the truth may hurt it may help someone make a better choice, all from your words of wisdom. Don't slip away from the ones you love. PROTECT,CHARISH, and LOVE them. dont let them see you hurting yourself. show your capable of being strong
Cutting isn't about being weak. Maybe you should spend less time judging your friend's action and more time trying to figure out why she feels compelled to hurt herself.
Self-injury is a monster. It's an addiction, an illness and a dangerous friend. It's not something you can just snap out of, and it's not something you can talk someone out of with an arsenal of cliches.
One thing is for sure the only one that can truely help them is Jesus, He can totaly change their life, im thankful that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and saved us from hell !!!!!! yay
@junglebeat500 if Jesus Christ can stop all of the reasons why people harm themselves then please tell me, if he can stop the sins that have happened to people and still are then do share with me those facts because if there was a Jesus or a God then why on earth do they permit many guys (going on the statistics of why most do) to rape and abuse women so much that they feel the need to harm themselves?!
i used to cut when i was in middle school. I don't even know why. i was always doing stuff like that. when i was younger than that i tried to kill myself. my mom made me go to church after that. but it didn't help. i don't believe in god anymore and now i can barely make it through the day...
Hmm i understand, but if you think about it, your life is one to be cherished. You can change the world for the better. Your family seems to love you because they were trying to help you to know God and that God created you and if anything, He loves you. He wants to see you happy, and so does your family. :) hope that helps.
I was a cutter...I went to the mental asylum, but I lied my way out of it, saying I felt better because I had "talked about it". But really, It was cuz my mom was right there and she was so pissed...I have been a cutter for over 2 years..My best friend, now my girlfriend(yes I'm bi) helped me out of it..She led me down the right path and I thank her every day. She is my savior and I love her to death. I hope all the cutters out there pull through. There is always someone willing to listen <3
I've been cutting since 7th grade, im in 11th now. I've gone 4 months now without it. it's hard and sometimes i have to catch myself. I look down at my scars and remember why i did it. I found different outlets for it. it's working sorta. But also it's nice to have someone to talk to..my advice is to get a therapist...it's actually really nice to be able to go in for an hour and just talk. Good luck and i hope you guys can find a way out..it's not a savior.. it's a crutch...
Yeah therapy is a very good idea ! Ive seen a therapist for 6 years, once a week for an hour. I think that if i wasnt in therapy i would hav been far worse than wat i am now. Its good to hav someone to talk to that wont judge you. Try calling ur local doctors office and they should be able to hook u up with someone. If you live in Virginia in the 24141 are, i can provide you with info for some EXTREMLY good people, Message me and ill let u know
Ive been a cutter for six years, some of my story is posted before this. Im one that is trying to stop and find other outlets. If anyone wants to share advice or just needs someone to talk to, message me. We can chat and get through this struggle together
I don't know.. I used to think it would save my life, but after the initial "high" or whatever, I'd feel so bad... I still cut, but now I'm starting to think maybe it's not the saviour I thought it was.....
Everybody hates me They dont understand what its like having a disease and being picked on and having text books thrown at u in class and having to spend my lunch hours in the bathroom stall and having being beat up everyday My brother joins in and beats me up with the bullies My dad laughs at me and says im a filthy faggot
Really?? Im really sorry to hear that!! You know... i've gone though alot of shit, we all have, and as hard as it is( and it was for me) we have to use that negativity thats given 2 us and be better than them!! Some ppl are assholes(thats because they have issues) and try find a target to take their probs out on!! I say fuck them, try 2 be stronger person from this shit(FOR YOU!!!!). Please stay positive and dont let those jerks defeat you!!!!
Thats awful.... noone should have to go through that Idk why yours stood out to me...But Im praying for you... and anyone else that has to go throught this type of stuff...
My first cut was June 8th 1999. My last cut was in October 2008. Like many, I am a *survivor* of rape and sexual abuse. Those who not self injure can never EVER understand. They can never truly help because all they know how to do is judge and ridicule. They will never understand that cutting is just like a drug addiction. It takes LOTS of support and strength to stop. But, it is possible to stop. You CAN heal. Don't give up! *hugs* to all who struggle with this.
hi my name is Becky- Im so glad to hear that you over came the silent addiction. I also am a survivor of sexual abuse by uncle. It happened when i was 12, ill be 18 on January 20. I started cutting right after and ive struggled with it since them. I despise myself for it and would luv to stop but its not easy as you know. Any tips on how to over come the need. Thanks for the inspiration Becky
Very welcome! Stopping is a process. It takes many failed attempts, at least it did for me. Whenever I got the urge I would immediately find something else to do. I'd leave the area where I usually cut, go for a walk, find someone supportive to talk to, sit and write or post online, or force myself to think of what good things I had in life. I would do those things until the urge passed. Not going to say its easy. But it finally worked and now when I get the urge I am able to ignore it easily
Best of luck to you! I know what an immense struggle it is and how incredibly easy it is to want to give up and think you can't overcome it. Dealing with the emotions involved is very hard. Definitely helps to have some supportive people as well. Those who will not judge or get upset if there's a slip up. Cause no one is perfect! I very much hope you are able to stop too someday! Take care!!
chaosjaded's advice is very good, and some of the suggestions tie into what I was going to advise. An escape. Find something, like going for a walk, or listening to music, or escaping into your imagination, whatever it takes to get your mind off of the emotional pain, and off of cutting. Anything you can do to escape the thoughts. Also, find someone you can trust, not necessarily a counselor or psychologist, who you can talk to, as it often helps just to let it out, and not just bottle it up.
Thanks so much i really appreciate all of the help and advice After 6 years i know that its hard to deal with everything without that thought but ive also come to relize if you constantly put urself down it makes you feel worse therefore causing you to want to cut more Im not saying its a good thing but beating the hell out of ur self doesnt help either.
Agreed, putting yourself down is always a bad course of action, regardless of other circumstances or situations. No matter what other people say, and no matter what you might tell yourself when you're in the mood to put yourself down, you are a beautiful and unique person; nobody else on Earth could replace you. I hope you can stay strong and get through this. Tomorrow is whatever you make it into, so don't hesitate to make it into something wonderful; the ability to do that is always with you.
Wow, its so awesome to know that there are people out there who know what they are talking about... I was sexually abused by two "friends" of mine, and the older I got, the harder it was to deal with.... So I started cutting. I don't really know where I'm going with this except that it's awesome to know there are people who are trying to stop cutting/have stopped and who understand how I fell.. Thanks guys
I too am a self-injurer. I cut and burn myself with erasers. I am trying very hard to break myself of this, but to no avail. I often find myself feeling alone and hurt, with no one that understands. However, I am trying to get help. This is a message to all those who think there is no hope: There is hope, just remain strong.
i once cut myself, and i personally didnt feel any good during or after it. i've sworn never to do it again and i havent since. you can barely see the scar anymore. i just wanna say that cutting isnt gonna solve any problem you have, it makes it worse. YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR BODY. just try to get advice from a psychologist
I was sexually, physically and emotionally abused and i cant take it any more, the memorys and flashbacks are too much, i just want to die, Just so that it will all be over, I cut alot, my arms look horrible cause of all the scars, i Just cant take it any more....
Guys hurt just as much as girls, i cant handle life at the moment and i am a guy. Abuse affects us just as much as it does girls. Please Help Me some one...
@LumieX you obviously dont understand it if you just assume its dumb. So if you dont understand it and have only insults for it, then you should not comment. . .
I used to cut and it releives so much anger and everything. But ive stopped now n have better ways of handling difficulties in life n i hope others find them too without self harm.
Amasing song.. been listning alot to it.. and it have made me feel alot better in many situations where i would have been cutting my legs up...

Those of us who have a past history with self harming ourselves may try to look toward Jesus. I have found myself trying time and time again. I sit there and try to find a way to stop. May way came in the place of a young man whom I loved. Then God took him from me, by death. I still love God and the young man. The reason I stopped was because God gave me Joseph. At 16, pain is still all I feel, but everytime I go to hurt myself. Joseph's memory stops me.

We had to watch a program on self-harm in my English class, and everyone just said the pictures were scary. It's saying things like that, that makes them pictures come true. Cutting is not the best way to solve your problems, but to me, it helps when no-one wants to talk to me.

cutting doesnt help. really.. your spreading your pain towards everyone who cares and loves you. i chose emotional pain, over physical. its just not worth it, so to all cutters... you will find the light. just search for it..

I´m a cutter. No one understands me, no friends, and even though my parents have seen my scars they never ask...they all just say that it´s silly, stupid and that it´s just to stop doing it.

AMAZING video and pics. I cut for 9 years. Everyday. It got to the point to where I was cutting over healing scabs for room. I stopped after a few short(but deep) relapses. It's been 3 years since and I feel the temptation of it more and more lately. I never found the appropriate way to cope. Still holding on here....but even years later...it's still hard and hard to explain the scars and ignore what people must think of them

I talked to 10 teachers... none of them can help. It just makes it wrose. My story is simple. But am not gonna share it. I mean no one cares.. no say anything, if i tell them, all they say is STOP, but how is that gonna help? The only person that cares, is my best friend, his name is nate, but sadly hes dating my friend. I love him to death (yes, am a girl). The most sad part about this is, my friends are the ones who hurt me phyicaly. and my family hurts me mentaly.

I still cut myself , most of the time its when i get upsett.
I find it really hard to control it , i did stop for about a month because my sister found out and kept checking my arms. But now its worse , much worse.....
My sister tires to help me and keeps try to tell my parents , Most of the time i cut to help me and it works , it makes me feel better. i do need help but i dont know how.

I used to be a cutter. Since 2008. I quit in May. I realized what it's been doing. When I look at my scars, I don't feel ashamed. It lets me know what I've gone through, and some of the mistakes I made along the way. But I believe there's always hope, and certain obstacles get you to where you are today. There's hope for everyone out there. And those who judge those who do cut, don't know what it's like. There's always a way out of the depression you're facing. You just gotta believe.

@machihuahua I remember this feeling, although I am now 38 years old I can still feel the misery that I went through as a teen. I was so desperate for love, looking for something that I could never find. Cutting was a relief for my anger and disappointment in life. But now that I am older, it saddens me to think of those times. I got through and u can 2. I found hope and love and a true Father in Christ. if u would like to know how to have this hope i will tell you

My fiance has told me stories of what has happened to her, and every time I think about it I cry my eyes out, but I do not see that as a reason to cut myself. I feel as if it would make it worse if i did because it's not my pain.Therefore I have to live with it. I feel you pain but I can do nothing about it. If i committed suicide I know she would too (even though she promised never to try to kill herself over me again (we went through an almost-break-up)). I can do nothing, and it's killing me

LOL, what would you say If I cut myself. Its too hard to explain. Do you ever feel something that you can't put on paper, some thing so personal. That you feel so low, so worthless. But for some reason you need to carry on.

cutitng is more than just something you do when you are sad, it is an addiction! you want to stop but you cant. It really is a hell on earth but at the same time it is heaven, it makes you feel better, it makes you stop feeling like shit. But at the same time it makes you depressed cause of what you are doing to yourself. To all the other cutters out there: Have strength! Have Hope! Have Love! you are all loved more than you could know!

@loriannhood It's so difficult to stop, but when you know how it affects others, it's well worth it. There are other ways of dealing with the pain; writing, talking, singing... also, what I was told, wear a rubber band/ pony tail holder on your wrist, snap it whenever you feel you need to cut. I promise you that you will find a way, I promise everything will get better, whatever you're going through. Just remember hope, remember that you are loved, even if you don't believe it. It will be okay.

A lot of people, including the therapist I had after the event, have always said that what happened when I was 13 was my fault. I say whatever. I don't care that they say it's my fault. When you think about it...that's actually why I started cutting. Because of what the therapist said...I figured cutting was a great way of punishing myself for it...didn't work. I just have scars upon scars, got addicted to it...it wasn't worth it. Still isn't...but it happens, regardless...
Vickiism2O 1 year ago 2
@Vickiism2O,
I've been a victim of a internet predator as well, he raped me, that's one of the reasons why I started cutting. I was told that it was my fault too, that the rape could have been prevented and ect. If you want to talk, feel free to. I'm young, but I've been through a lot too.. And you might not know me well, but sometimes it's easier to talk to people online rather than in real life.. if you want to talk, I'll listen and help if I can.. I just want you to know, you're not alone

I haven't cut in 6 months or so. I typically go through about 3 to 6 months between outburts of cutting. I'll typically cut once or twice, and then that's it until my next major issue happens...I've been cutting since I was 13...successful prey of an internet predator. Say what you want about how it was my own fault, I don't care. I just miscarried for the second time within a year...I feel like cutting, but I can't because I'm scared of what my husband would do if I started again. I feel alone.

Another aspect of cutting is the fact that since you are the thing you hate it feels like you're doing something about the problem when you cut yourself, you're actually harming the thing that causes you the most pain. Kind of like how you feel better after getting revenge on smeone who's wronged you

I totally sync up with this. I actually started cutting because my mom is bipolar, and all my time and energy goes to taking care of her mental disease. It's like I'm not allowed to break down because she does it all the time.
It's a hard place to be in, but you're better off not starting. The hardest part is explaining the scars to every single future lover you'll ever have. It's not something you can hide forever, and the temporary relief isn't worth the burden you'll always carry.

Cutting isn't about being weak. Maybe you should spend less time judging your friend's action and more time trying to figure out why she feels compelled to hurt herself.
Self-injury is a monster. It's an addiction, an illness and a dangerous friend. It's not something you can just snap out of, and it's not something you can talk someone out of with an arsenal of cliches.

My first cut was June 8th 1999. My last cut was in October 2008. Like many, I am a *survivor* of rape and sexual abuse. Those who not self injure can never EVER understand. They can never truly help because all they know how to do is judge and ridicule. They will never understand that cutting is just like a drug addiction. It takes LOTS of support and strength to stop. But, it is possible to stop. You CAN heal. Don't give up! *hugs* to all who struggle with this.

hi my name is Becky- Im so glad to hear that you over came the silent addiction. I also am a survivor of sexual abuse by uncle. It happened when i was 12, ill be 18 on January 20. I started cutting right after and ive struggled with it since them. I despise myself for it and would luv to stop but its not easy as you know. Any tips on how to over come the need. Thanks for the inspiration Becky
Beckster0910 2 years ago 2
Very welcome! Stopping is a process. It takes many failed attempts, at least it did for me. Whenever I got the urge I would immediately find something else to do. I'd leave the area where I usually cut, go for a walk, find someone supportive to talk to, sit and write or post online, or force myself to think of what good things I had in life. I would do those things until the urge passed. Not going to say its easy. But it finally worked and now when I get the urge I am able to ignore it easily
chaosjaded 2 years ago
Best of luck to you! I know what an immense struggle it is and how incredibly easy it is to want to give up and think you can't overcome it. Dealing with the emotions involved is very hard. Definitely helps to have some supportive people as well. Those who will not judge or get upset if there's a slip up. Cause no one is perfect! I very much hope you are able to stop too someday! Take care!!
chaosjaded 2 years ago
chaosjaded's advice is very good, and some of the suggestions tie into what I was going to advise. An escape. Find something, like going for a walk, or listening to music, or escaping into your imagination, whatever it takes to get your mind off of the emotional pain, and off of cutting. Anything you can do to escape the thoughts. Also, find someone you can trust, not necessarily a counselor or psychologist, who you can talk to, as it often helps just to let it out, and not just bottle it up.
Vaekrix 2 years ago
Thanks so much i really appreciate all of the help and advice After 6 years i know that its hard to deal with everything without that thought but ive also come to relize if you constantly put urself down it makes you feel worse therefore causing you to want to cut more Im not saying its a good thing but beating the hell out of ur self doesnt help either.

Agreed, putting yourself down is always a bad course of action, regardless of other circumstances or situations. No matter what other people say, and no matter what you might tell yourself when you're in the mood to put yourself down, you are a beautiful and unique person; nobody else on Earth could replace you. I hope you can stay strong and get through this. Tomorrow is whatever you make it into, so don't hesitate to make it into something wonderful; the ability to do that is always with you.

Wow, its so awesome to know that there are people out there who know what they are talking about... I was sexually abused by two "friends" of mine, and the older I got, the harder it was to deal with.... So I started cutting. I don't really know where I'm going with this except that it's awesome to know there are people who are trying to stop cutting/have stopped and who understand how I fell.. Thanks guys

I too am a self-injurer. I cut and burn myself with erasers. I am trying very hard to break myself of this, but to no avail. I often find myself feeling alone and hurt, with no one that understands. However, I am trying to get help. This is a message to all those who think there is no hope: There is hope, just remain strong.

i once cut myself, and i personally didnt feel any good during or after it. i've sworn never to do it again and i havent since. you can barely see the scar anymore. i just wanna say that cutting isnt gonna solve any problem you have, it makes it worse. YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR BODY. just try to get advice from a psychologist

I disagree. We just have a less vivid way of showing it. I personally like to talk about things before anyone is hurt.

seriously wtf is wrong with you that you would ever cut yourself...how dumb can you possibly be?

@LumieX you obviously dont understand it if you just assume its dumb. So if you dont understand it and have only insults for it, then you should not comment. . .

What did your mom say? Why do you cut? I'm a cutter too. I don't cut any more, but if you need to talk, I'll understand.
