It's not a good thing to do. Cut food instead of yourself. |

everyone feels like thier life is bad at some point in time. What you have to do is find things to look forward too. Make a lifestyle change, get new friends, what ever it takes. Cutting yourself is not the answer. Do you want to loose your life? Go read about children in third world nations...their plight might make you feel better about your own. Or at least let you realize that you are not alone in this world |

You know it is wrong, or you would not ask. You are also, smart enough to realize you need to seek counseling, you just need a little push, so here it is, you can get better, you can feel better, but it takes help. You just have to be brave enough to admit it, talk to a school counselor,(if available), or check the phone book, for free clinics,(they often offer free depression screening), you can even find hot-line numbers to help you find help. I believe you can do it, now you tell yourself, you can, and then make that first step, best to you. |

it isn't wrong if it's your way of coping but you should try something else like opening up to someone close to you |

People usually cut because physical pain hurts less than emotional pain. Emotional pain/feelings can be difficult to understand, though a cut can be observed and is concrete. Cutting can be habit forming for someone experiencing difficulties in life. A few cuts can turn into lacerations that need sutures. Cutting can lead to permanent scarring that can negatively effect the individual in many negative ways. I have worked with people who have cut themselves as teens. As adults they are unable to wear short sleeves due to the embarrassment of the obvious scars.
I highly recommend that you see a therapist that can help you work through these difficulties your having. A therapist can assist you in figuring out why your cutting and how you can relieve your stress/anxiety/depression through more healthy alternatives.
Good luck to you.... |

OK don't cut yourself and if it seems that bad then maybe you should seek help not only from a therapist but your family. |

Please, get help before you do something you may regret later. People love you and care about you even if sometimes they don't show it. It is tough but you can do it ! |

There are better and less destructive ways to release stress. Find a counsellor, a therapist. You need to find healthier ways to deal with your issues than cutting yourself. |

"Wrong" is not the best word to describe it. Cutting can be a sign of emotional problems. One theory is that people cut themselves because the physical pain that occurs as a result of cutting is more immediate and easier to deal with than the emotional pain they're experiencing. If you are cutting yourself, I suggest you seriously consider talking with a mental health professional to figure out the root of the problem. Once you deal with the emotional issues, it will be easier for you to stop cutting. |

I was a cutter too. You need to get some help. I know it's hard, and I also know it's not as easy as the "just stop doing it" advice you're going to get. Email me if you want to talk or if you want any advice. |

Maybe you want to understand why you are cutting.
You are cutting to remind yourself that you can feel; that you bleed from it could then be proof of that truth. That you are an emotional creature, as all humans are, means that you have the need to express your emotions, otherwise you will subvert them in self-destructive ways.
It is not wrong to feel. You can feel that your life is bad, but fully expressing that emotion is pivotal for your mental health. Just saying it is bad doesn't help you work through it, and perhaps you've thought of crying as a weakness (while it is actually a release of those pent-up emotions), so it's possible that you cut to NOT FEEL EMOTIONALLY but to feel that pain physically, instead.
When I took psychology, this maladaptive behavior was referred to as transference. However, just knowing this isn't enough to stop you from doing it, which is why you need someone to talk to (in real life).
You should seek the help of a professional, in addition to your friends and family, because a professional will help you get to the roots of your emotional problems (in order to come to terms with them, and to then make positive choices). Your friends and family might be able to help you do that, but they cannot prescribe medications if you need them. Involve your family and family in your decision to seek professional help, so that they can help you avoid making those bad decisions (like cutting yourself).
Cutting yourself is a bad decision about how to deal with your emotions. Sadly, this phenomena has been glorified in emo culture, even though it is the wrong way to deal with your emotions. It will result in scarring, which only proves that you can hurt yourself in more visible ways than people can hurt you emotionally. It can result in a self-inflicted death.
People will judge you based on those scars, as if you have not learned positive ways to deal with your emotions; as though you don't care about yourself, so why should they involve themselves in your drama. |

I don't think it's morally wrong, but I certainly think it's not good for you. It's a pathway for potential infection, not to mention the possibility of permanant nerve damage if you cut too deeply. Please talk with your doctor or a counselor/therapist to help you deal with the problems in your life in a more constructive way; it's not easy, but you CAN quit. |

First off, let me state I've been in therapy for much of my life. I've always had problems with self mutilation (even after I gave myself a 4 inch gash and landed in the emergency room for 18 stitches). My latest therapist points out that it's all too common for women to cut themselves.
I would definitely find a counselor and start talking and healing yourself inside then out. There are more productive ways to express your upset and to feel better then slicing yourself open. I wish to god I had never started.
Find a group therapy session, find people who you can talk to, but get out of whatever is making you upset. Life gets hard....it gets really hard, I won't lie...but I firmly believe inside each one of us - man or woman - that there is a survivor. And you too will be a survivor.
Hang in there..I'm rooting for you! |

The overwhelming desire or relief a person may find in cutting is a symptom of a personality disorder called Borderline Personality Disorder. It usually goes along with other depressive symptoms. People who cut do so to either stop feeling so out of control or do it because they otherwise feel numb and have a desire to therefore feel "something" ... or both.

Seek mental health advice immediately. YOU NEED BETTER COPING MECHANISMS. You need to learn and control your stress and triggers.
You can pick up the book "The Bright Red Scream" and "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me" to learn more.
Don't be afraid to find someone with whom to talk about this. You are not alone. |
