Is it normal to know over 25 people that cut? I've counted lately and I was just surprised at how many I know that do...I've just come to know these people in the past year or so. Also, most of these people have attempted more than just cutting...and I've had to talk quite a few out of it...
I never will understand this cutting bull crap. I can bet many people who do it just want attention. Cutting = pain = fucking no thanks. I think you have serious issues if you resort to cutting yourself, mental issues.
Wonder, did anyone cut 100years ago? Get some real problems, and some real balls to go with em.
Maybe start hanging out with normal people and If u feel like u want to help hand them a card for a therapist and the move on if u surround ur self with ppm like that most Likly you will join the dark side haha make new friends
Cutting is hard to understand but very simple all at once. It's taking control back when a person feels overwhelmed or depressed. Anorexia and Bulimia, even drinking and drug taking are all similar examples, in the sense of wanting to control something.
Also with cutting, the body releases endorphins when the cut occurs, which gives a "high", it can become very addictive easily.
A tip though, if you ever feel like cutting, twang an elastic band hard against your skin, it's less harmful and is a preventative measure. Also taking a red felt pen and drawing fake cuts on your arm, to give the realisation that you've cut can work too.
I know because I used those methods myself to stop relapsing.
Depressing. Good for you though, helping people out. I never understood cutting.
I can understand cutting, its something you can control. Some people need that control, when they have nothing else. Or maybe some just want attention. Scientifically, from what I've read, all humans, being social beings, wish to help, see a result. Seeing a result from our actions releases endorphins. Just how after helping someone makes us feel better about ourselves, watching the product of our reactions releases endorphins. Making them feel better.
i try to help people out but some just cant be helped and are in total denial
I guess it depends where you live. A lot of people at my school, including one of my best friends, committed suicide. If I was from the Home Counties, it'd never have happened.
I don't mean to trivialise this. I've just gone beyond acceptance that life really is this unfair and nothing I can do will change it.
i really wish people could handle their problems better the world would be such a better place without having to kill yourself when you dont need to i have thought of suicide before but it was when i was depressed and i have realized its just so not worth it! eventually things well get better
A lot of my friends cut in high school and even I did it for awhile when I was extremely depressed. It's terribly unfortunate so many people are sad enough to want to hurt themselves.. Just try to be there for them, and don't get caught up in it yourself. Poor kids :(
