yeah, thats my secret. I'm quitting though, cause its gonna be hard to find a dress with sleeves for the fall fling. luckily, my scars heal quickly. <3
I used to be a cutter.. I was between the ages of 14-17.. I would get so angry, not sure why, and cut my arms with anything that I could find.. I would break tape cases and cut myself with it.. I didn't feel the pain at the time, I just felt a release.. I haven't done that in many years nor will I ever again.
Why don't write poetry, music or make paintings that help you express your inner self? all of those options are many more times healtier to the mind and body than cutting yourself.
im sure there is something you are good at! find a hobby! read some books! you can't possible suck at everything dear. be careful. that worries me!
I'm still not sure that post wasn't tongue-in-cheek! No, I am, but if you'd left off the last sentence I'd think it was.
The excuse "I'm not good at anything" is bullshit because you haven't done everything! It does not matter if your good at anything as long as you enjoy it! Being happy and having fun is an excellent way of dealing with emotional and other mental issues. I think that you just need to go out and party and smoke a bowl or something cuz cutting is not healthy.
You have emotions you need expressed without making the warm blood trickle down your arms. I was one in your shoes. Once up on a time, I was so emotionally numb I used to cut my arms open just to feel something. And when that didn’t work, I would find some unfortunate soul’s face to beat up my hand. What helped me get over my issues were a simple notebook and a pen. Sounds stupid, I know, but it does work. It’s as easy as keeping a diary. When something gets underneath your skin instead of literally putting something next to it, write. Use the paper as your release. Say anything you would like about anyone you like. (You can even bitch about me, I won’t care. ) Don’t worry about proper sentence structure or spelling. After you have gotten out all there is to let go of, burn the pages. Yes, I said burn the pages. I have found, as good as parents’ attentions are, they will violate you privacy. If you are not bothered about other peoples nose in your business then keep the pages. But you might find it easier in the long run to just destroy them. Give it a try. What do you have to loose? I worked for me.
idk, I have a notebook, I've filled it half way in two weeks. but its mostly tracings of my hand that I did in detention and lyric pages. when I kept an actaul diary, it didnt really help. some thing funny though, I went outside to burn a bad day and my parents thought I was smoking. LOL. <3
Well, I guess I can open up and say I was a cutter once. When I was 13-15, then I left the chaos that was causing my pain. I write poetry, I paint pictures, But none of that could truly express how I feel. And I know how it feel to want to stop. But you can't. You need a dramatic change in your life, one for the positive. You, like I, was lacking in love for yourself. Get to know yourself, try doing new things, find something you enjoy. I found that when I picked up a guitar, it made me feel magical, I didnt want to cut anymore, I wanted to make people cry with my music, and then make them laugh.... I feel for you, And just know, you have one sister here supporting you. If you need to just vent, just message me or something. Much love
I never understood cutters. their mostly girls who need attention. I dont have anything nice to say. so I wont say anything else.
