Is it normal that i want to cut myself, but does not?

I have the constant urge to cut myself because I am fed up of everything. But at the same time I do not have the guts to take a blade or knife to cut my skin.

  • Don't do it. Been a cutter for years and haven't done it for a good while now. There's all sorts of reasons why people cut but there are no good reasons. You'll be marked for life and you'll have to wear clothes to cover up your scars or people will stare at you and judge you.

    It's not worth it, man.

    Advice from a former cutter: do NOT ever start doing it. It's remarkably hard to quit and it really doesn't fix anything. I remember why I did it, I believed in some sort of twisted way that I needed to be punished for my loneliness and failures, and that no one cared about me. But cutting only made things far worse. I'm not sure where I first got the idea to do it, but I wish I never had.

    I've been clean for years now but it was very hard to quit. Please don't do it

    It takes guts NOT to cut. Not the other way around. Giving in to those urges is letting that emotion CONTROL you. By fighting it, you truly have courage.

    Yeah, as is usual with cutters, there's no brain or thinking involved.

    Get help. You have unresolved issues that you need to talk to a professional about.
