Is it normal to want to cut yourself?

My condolences to you. Death is unique in that each death you encounter has a different effect on you. For instance, I have a friend who I loved very much. Since his death, I have barely even grieved. Yet, other's, it seems so unbelievable, that I think I'll never get over it.

Find someone who understands this behavior to help you release your feelings/grief in a constructive way. You're okay, my dear. You just need some guidance on how to handle this.

Don't cut. Talk.

i have cut myself before and i think to almost anyone but my best friends i would appear completely normal.

Don't be stupid, what's cutting yourself going to do? Make you look nice or make new friends? You will need to get over your loss, a decent way is actually the internet...

yeah its part of self destructive behavior. You just need to get to the bottom of it and slowly work out the problem BY YOURSELF. The problem is not the cutting, you do whatever you want, but you need to figure out the thing thats eating you up inside and fight it. Makes you live a better life you know.

Im sorry for your loss ive lost my grandfather and my brother death isnt somthing we cant control but just remember your friend would want you to go on and life your life if you have anything to talk about im here for you this goes to everyone

I have recently been recovering from self injury. I'm embarrassed of my scars, because now that I know talking is better than hurting myself, and risking my health, I feel ashamed of it. Talk to someone, it really does help.

When my gps died I thought of suiside and thy put me in a hospital and I'm sad about it soo u don't want to go there ots not fun
Sorry for ur loss
Take care

So sorry to hear about your friend :( I know it's hard, but please try to stay strong. Cutting does not make you any stronger. I am guilty of cutting, but I am not proud of it. I was weak, and I had a moment. Well a few. It's best to find someone to talk to about this. I mean about your feelings. You might even need to see a doctor, if your cutting urges get bad. Just remember, as you're about to cut: would you friend want you to do this??? Probably not. Good luck! :)

Wow, some people give terrible advice. Ok, firstly I would like to say that I am very sorry to here about your loss.

Secondly, it is normal to feel the pain and depression you are going through now after losing someone very close to you, you a grieving and it takes time. It is really important though that you talk to someone about how you are feeling. You can't deal with this all by yourself and shouldn't feel ashamed to reach out to someone. Try talking to a family member or a friend. If you still feel that you are having trouble coping maybe you could consider talking to a therapist. They know how to deal with issues such as depression, grief and cutting and will be able to give you skills that will help you to deal with the loss of your friend and help you to move on.

Take care.

cutting is for people who don't know how to handle their emotions.

i'd advise against cutting, as it's a bad habit for one thing. resist the urge. plus, everyone goes nutty when they see the cuts. it proves you aren't stable.

grief is very difficult, more for some than others. there are stages of grief, and maybe you are stuck in one of them.

know that if you are lucky, you will live long, and therefore see many people go. if this is the first close death you are dealing with, let me assure you that you will get through it eventually. it doesn't matter how much time passes as to whether or not you handle his death, it depends on you going through the six steps of grief, the last one being acceptance.

i hope you manage to do that without the cutting.

nope i mean iv had loads of ppl die who i knw nd in my family but tht aint y i cut myself just good sprot id say
