Is it normal to cut myself?

Oh dear...I think I may be nearing that stage soon :'(

I used to do that too! I would cut my tummy n thighs n my arms n wrist. It got so bad that I couldn't wear anything other than jeans n hoodies): my best advice to you is to hide all your sharp objects n when you get anxious write everything down(: I have a journal with me n my iPod has a notepad so whenever I'm sad or anxious I start writing or typing until I feel better(: it really relieves me n soothes me.

loads of people do it so yes it is normal (:

I used to do it too~being almost found out has stopped me for the time being--if you want anyone to talk to, just reply to this and I'll send you my email or something...I can give you advice etc. Good luck, stat strong.

You need to find a way to deal with your depression and anxiety. Have you considered seeing anyone to talk?

I used to cut my myself but I had a best friend who helped me stop she always checked on me and made sure I was happy talk to some1 u may never know how much that can help you

I used to cut myself... it was only for like 3 months tho. I also have both anxiety and depression and I completely understand how relieving it is, even if it's just for a moment. I don't think people really understand that it is better to feel a tiny bit of feeling rather than none at all.
but I stopped my cutting because I was becoming addicted and reliant on the relief that it was giving me and did it more and more to try to constantly have that feeling.. and my friend who is more of a brother to me than my own real brother knew and convinced me that I was getting obsessed and addicted. he helped me realized that I shouldn't try to get relief from pain. real relief is when you realize that there really are people who really truly love you unconditionally.
if you're interested, there is a trick that I used to stop cutting. it's more of an alternative. but you wear a really tight rubber band on your wrist or wherever and anytime you get the urge to cut, you snap the rubber band as hard as you can as many time as you need. it really does help.
don't think that cutting isn't normal. many many people do it and are ashamed of it so they try to hide it. you'd be surprised...

Don't beat yourself up about it or feel ashaed. It isn't healthy but you are not abnormal!

plenty of ppl do it I hear so sure its normal. obviously not good for ya though

'Common' is NOT the same as normal. None of you should confuse these, especially with something like cutting.

It isn't "normal" but unfortunately it is common. Learn to love yourself. If you can't do that, no one else can.

Go to a psychologist it will help. YOGA will help either!!! You will find peace if you execise yoga! Belueve me I KNOW!!!!!

yeah its normal but its not good for u! u should talk to ur family about it then maybe go to a rehab facility and they could help.

Yes its normal.

This is a common sympton of Borderline Personality Disorder (which I have, although I never cut myself).

Psychotherapy is the best treatment available for BPD.

I hope things get better for you. I was on the psyche ward with a bunch of girls that cut themselves. I liked them and it was sad.

Think it through carefully- is it normal...well no it obviously isn't, is it necessary to even ask?
You say yourself you have depression, you should go see a doctor about your problems or maybe tell someone
