It started four years ago when my mom got her new boyfriend.(My mom and her boyfriend have been together for seven years off and on.) I tell her how I feel she saw the marks a year ago and she never said nothing about it. Well I stopped for a year and then I started again recently.
I used to cut. God itd feel AMAZING! But then I found other things that felt amazing like...oh...idk, sex! Nahhh just kidding. Just get some new friends, clean urself up a little bit.
There is 1 of 2 things going on here. Either you are clinically depressed and you cut yourself to cause physical pain to overshadow the emotional pain.
The other is your looking for attention. It seems to me your looking for attention because you started cutting your self when your mom startled dating a new guy.
Depression is a tough thing to suffer with. But it's important not to be mentally weak and cut yourself. Instead of doing that, seek help and sort yourself out, noone feels sorry for you, nor will they care if you kill yourself outside your immediate family. You will be forgotten within a few weeks of your demise. Life shouldn't be thrown away like your trying to do. You only have one of them
No, cutting is a stupid thing to do. All your doing is giving yourself scars. You don't even really have a good reason to do it either. Go see a psych
UR NOT THE ONLY 1 WHOS DOES THIS SO DONT THINK ITS WRONG.FOR EXAMPLE IHAVE A FRIEND WHO DOES DAT. BUT I DONT JUDGE IJUS TOLD HER UMA HELP HER GET THROUGH IT WITHOUT GOING 2 SEE A THRAPIST.
Instead of cutting yourself, you should do something softer, like punching a pillow really hard or as hard as you can or something. I used to do it alot and it's great and painless stress relief. Well usually I would punch pillows just for fun but sometimes If I would get a little angry about something I would do it. Maybe you should try something like that or related to it and see how it works out.
I can tell you from personal experience that the scars won't make for a very fashionable bracelet in the years to come. Cutting is not normal in that it's not healthy. It's just a way of relieving stress and inner anxiety. Sometimes finding an outside source to release inner turmoil can help relieve the urge to hurt yourself. I know it helped me.
And it never hurts to ask for help from a certified therapist. It just takes courage.
Well I suppose it's normal, but definitely not healthy.
I sometimes get so upset and mad at myself that I seriously want physical pain, but I know I need to refrain.
talk to a responsible adult, it seems lame, but I swear it will help.
Cutting isnt normal. But its normal for depressed people to do. Sorta, if there young. No point doing it when there are alternatives. Go see you're doctor about it and get help. Its better than scareing you're self out of dispair.
