is it normal to feel that cutting yourself is the only way to cope?

  • I cut myself for years and I can honestly say that I would not be alive today without it. It provided a relief that I couldn't find anywhere else, and without that relief I would definitely have killed myself. Most people will tell you to fight the urge at all costs, but that can be even more dangerous than cutting. I have to admit that cutting yourself on a regular basis is not an ideal situation, but if you truly need to do it in order to get through the day then don't let anyone make you feel like you're doing something wrong. Circumstances change. Eventually you won't need this anymore. In the meantime you do what you have to do. Good luck.
