Do you cut yourself..?

i fully acknowledge the fact that drugs will never ever solve anything. but that doesnt stop me from doing them.

 

I don't think it's right to say, don't use it to solve problems, as it's helped me solve problems. I think it is more accurate to say, don't use it as an emotional crutch. If you have nothing left to stand on, it's best not to just "smoke your problems away," because in doing so, you're not solving any problems, just ignoring them, which doesn't help at all.

But herb (and other psychoactives like Salvia divinorum) have helped me solve many problems in the past; not the math kind, but who else here has had times where they just couldn't figure something out, or see things a particular way, then you got high, and saw it differently, and had less of a problem with it? I've noticed that it helps me open my mind to other possibilities. That, and, it's great for making busywork more exciting. =)

 

You know what Becknudefuck? You are the one who sounds ignorant and stupid here. You obvoiusly are so superior that you knw each and every one of our probelms and you know exactly what else to do. So come on and tell us. What will solve our problems?

You have no idea of what cutting does or can achive, or why people do it unless you get off your moral high horse and put yourself in that position.


And yes, while pot helps (I use it myself) it does take longer for your emotional wounds to heal. It seems like it helps, because it's a fix and it gets you through, but you would feel better faster if you weren't doing any drugs. That includes caffine and sugar as well. But I am on my way to healthy and I still smoke pot. So not to tell anyone what to do, but it IS a damper.

 

This just a thought.I don't cut but from what I'm reading people do it to relieve emotional pain.Why don't cutters just commit suicide ?I mean if the emotional pain is serious to point where you are endangering yourself on a regular basis why not cut to the chase?(no pun intended)

 

I use to, but I stopped about a year ago. I remember, when I was still in high school, I'd come home every day and cut. It was the only thing I looked forward to. The scars aren't that bad, because I took really good care of the cuts and put Neosporin (sp?) and stuff on them. I have a few bad ones on my thigh, but the rest aren't too bad. The first time I did it because I wanted someone to care and feel sorry for me. After that it just became something that made me feel better when I was depressed; which was a lot. It shaped my personality a lot and I don't really regret it. I'm glad I broke the habit, though. It's surprising to see how many people here do cut.

 

because some cutters cut to live, not die. There is a huge misconception that cutters want to commit suicide but chicken out and cut. This is not true for most cutters. When emotional pain gets to be too much, they cut to release all the pressure. Some people cut to see a wound heal. Most cutters don't cut severely. They cut just enough to break the skin and see blood. So they aren't puuting themselves in danger every time. Some do cut deeply and that is usually a more severe case where it doesn't go on for very long or they do die.

 

quote: laugh at people when they cut themselves in the movies..........so NO!

I suggest you, and everyone else in Dallas, Texas continue cutting and go for the wrist or neck next time.


Nisha and everyone else besides Michael-you are all too pretty for this, not that beauty is that important, but you have it so try to preserve it.

 

Suicide is embracing death.

Cutting is embracing life (through pain (wounds) and pleasure (release of emotion)).

That's the difference. Most cutters out there cut and don't commit suicide because they want to live well, not die miserably.

 

He has a point scars are not attractive so it kinda would make the person less beautiful.

reggae
listen to reggae? c'mon man, the planet is being destroyed. what the fuck is that going to do? absolutely nothing. "look at the clouds..." spout that powder puff hippy shit on your tombstone... you're a moron. please move to mercury and burn out.





thats a pm I got over this, just giving good advice on how to enjoy life more, and this is what I get, right.

Well I will do my part in trying to keep the planet from being destroyed, but that has to be a group effort, until everyone makes a change, I will sit here, listen to my reggae and look at the beautiful clouds.

 

cutting is for people who listen to coldplay
fucking freaks lol

 

Whoa, now, I think he was joking ...

Okay, people, let's not get so freaking hostile.

Those of you who have never cut, let me rest with this: You don't cut because you never had a reason to, because you've never felt the kind of emotional pain that half the people here have. So you know what, there are people out there who are more miserable than you. Get over yourselves, and help them, unless you're too scared or weak to. In that case, just keep on browsing to the next thread on this board.

 

whoa... see.. that is a great strength you have. but im afraid that this field is one of my weaknesses, micheal...

i first did it when iw as 13.. and then stopped for a while but lately.. i have just been what i feel. i stayed up late one night trying to disssemble a razorto get the baldes and ive kept them and whenever i have a fight with my parents or something.. i just go and cut my thigh...sometimes when i feel like it.

 

lol i want the 3 seconds of my life back that it took me to read that
cutting is just sad

 

smooth cactus...

i listen to coldplay.. but it helps stop me from cutting myself..

babyfreak- its a band that makes chill music.. i like "for you", "amsterdam" and "the scientist".. also "clocks" and "in my place" and so many others.. realy beautiful stuff. but you have to APPRECIATE the music and not laugh at it.

 

and also... cactus.. you shouldnt critise what you dont understand.

labeling it as "sad" is a bit vague... i think that it can be a beautiful, calming thing.

don't take offense please.. i just thought i would tell you that though.

 

Cutting = beautiful?
Enlighten me please..........for I am not in the loop of the self mutilation(sp?) group. The only thing that cuts me would be my cat.........man I feel so much better when he's done

 

Wtf Get Help

 

Thanks cutter...........jk. Thanks again

There is really no sense in arguing about all of this I guess. People who cut obviously have their reasons for it and those who don't have there reasons to be against it. I am one who doesn't cut or understand why cutting is an easy way out......just be safe and stop soon or seek help if things get that bad.

 

I've cut myself since I was 12. So i've been cutting for four years, I had a break of a few months once but afterwards when i started again i just cut deeper.
I have BAD EXAMPLE carved on my arm. Its difficult when people ask what happened to my arm - I just say I fell over onto broken glass.
Hey, while we're on this topic, to anyone who cuts, I'm writing a book about teenagers and depression/suicide. I'm doing a chapter on self-injury. If anyone wants to contribute, can you email me at davyscuddlytoy@yahoo.co.nz
