This reminded me of my close friend back then who cut herself over her bf. I was in shock because she doesn't seem like she would do that yet she is vulnerable so watching pple doing it as if it was a normal way to deal w depression, she thought okay I can do it. You know like i said, the more people do it, the more normal it looks. I believe if you just surround yourself with healthier people who deal with it in a better way, it will prevent you from doing something that unnecessary.
You said it feels good? In what way? (and I'm seriously curious about the feeling you have, I'm not asking like an asswhole)
I never did it because other people were doing it, either. When I was surrounded by people who didn't cut, I felt even more isolated, whereas when I met other people who did it, I finally had someone who I could talk to about it. Mental illness isn't contagious, and coping with it isn't as simple as "surround[ing] yourself with healthier people". It would be nice if it were that easy, but it isn't.
I never did it because I knew someone who did. It just kind of happened, and after the fact I found out the girl I worked with did it. I did not want to be associated with her like we were doing it for the same reasons and I never told anyone except one person about it. I agree that if people see others doing it they might think it's okay, which is the only reason why she annoyed me.
I suppose it feels like smoking a cigarette. It's relaxing. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of you. I can't remember it ever hurting, a paper cut hurts more. It's like after you exercise, when you stretch your muscles and it feels really good/soothing, but better than that. You get an adrenaline rush whilst doing it. I didn't do it for very long so it's hard to remember.
Can I ask you if you didn't know that "cutting yourself" existed, would you still do it?
And like I said to the other comment above, I didn't believe it could actually make you feel good, it looks to me that pple cut themselves to feel more pain in order to cry more and let it all out and as said before, because it seems like a normal remedy. If it makes you feel good then I understand why you'd do it I guess but I'm still kind of iffy if I hear or saw someone did it.
Is it normal if I think cutting yourself is stupid?
