I cut when I eat junk food or too lazy to work out.

I'm trying so hard to eat strictly to look as best I can before I take a vacation this summer, I hate myself so much when I screw up.

Did you enjoy your 15 minutes of fame?

it is like a drug idiot! when you cut your brain releases chemicals and you get addicted to that fuckhead! its like smoking... it doesnt get you high does it? NO but is it addictive? YES! stop talking about shit you have no idea about!

Yes i was a cutter for over 2yrs and im not ashamed of it anymore... im glad im better. i beat it.. so go fuck yourself!

The sad thing is that the urge to cut nvr rly goes away permanently... I stopped like six mths ago after cutting bout seven times and I still get urges to when I get mad or upset... But at the same time I just couldn't stand to hide all mi cuts, I couldn't stand having to wry about wat other people would think. So I've found other ways to deal. Feel free to message me if you need support for this kinda thing or if u want help trying to quit :)

I agree if someone is self harming dont freak them out on the esspicaly if they do have susidal thoughts bcuz that more you bug the higher the chance they will go through with it if u aproch them the wrong way

Thank you so very much for posting this video! I am a self-injurer and i think it's great that you are letting people know the real deal about cutting. If ever you're interested you can check out the video I made on cutting. Once again thank you.

i cut because physical pain is easier to deal with than emotional pain. im just going through a lot. and it is so so hard. but i dont wanna die. i just needed an outlet. its

for me, cutting is a substitute for suicide. everytime i cut i feel like i'm simulating my death, which placates me for a while. it is a huge relief even if hiding the scars is a bitch.

[blackscarlet512]

i had a kid in school, that saw my scars and said i would probably end up killing myself...........

Please talk to people who love you if you continue to feel this way. Suicide is not the answer even if you feel that it seems to be. There is help for depression and if one thing doesn't work, another will. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, I too have struggled with depression, you can have a better life.
