im really not much help on this subject…
im struggling with the same thing…
but i do know your not a freak…
good luck to ya…
i hope you find it in yourself to stop and get some help…

Oh.. don’t know much about cutting… but I do know when I am mad or sad I take a long bikeride or walk. Sometimes I will drive out of town and do this. Sometimes it just feels good to escape, leave it all behind me, process some things and get back control over my situation. My father used to drive up north from where we lived in New Hampshire. He would climb a mountain if he was angry and come back refreshed. Guess thats just the way I deal with it if I don’t deal with the person or situation head on.

I bet you know that its a bad idea to harm yourself, you only get one body your whole life, take care of it. You cut when your Sad, or mad, or both ? You should use that anger to fuel you to make change for the better, not for worse. and when your sad you should just find somthing to pick you up. When I am sad, within minutes I become mad and and then really MAD, mad at life for trying to put me down, then it fuels me to prove Im better and make change for the best. Maybe this can help, i wrote it when i was sad but as i was typing my mood changed.

Thanks!

How can you make my scars fade? I don’t want people to notice

I can’t (lol) but, theres some creams that you can find at any general/drug store that reduce the apperance of scars, taking vitamin E along with C helps (IDK why but ive done it and it did) Other then that I dont know. I hope you feel better soon.

Have you cutt before?

NEVER Ive just had some bad times that left scares (spills, fights, accidents)

my best friend used to cut herself. she says i saved her life because i helped her get overcome it. and yes, if you dont stop it usually ends up leading to suicide. D: and you’re not a freak if you cut. if you have a trust problem, then you can find someone probably even on this website who will help you out personally. :) usually when i am sad i draw out my feelings. hobbies usually help a lot

You know I never thought I would cut but I’ve seen on tv how they say they want to stop and I just thought I should try to find out what they felt. And I din’t know what to do when I was sad so I made the wrong decision.

have you hurt yourself on purpose?

your a good friend, but your friend told you she cutts?

i found out she cuts. D: i’m a very perceptive person who notices everything about the people i care about, i guess. she got the idea from her mom D: as for myself, i have hurt myself on purpose but not cutting i would give myself bruises sometimes..

I never heard of that, how did you do that and why?

but I think we all need friends

I’ve never harmed myself on purpose. This body is the ONLY thing i know i will have until my end, If everything is taken from me, I will still have me. You should cherish your body its an amzing… well everything, Its your transportation, tool, weapon, databank, art, and soo much more. If you treat your body good, it can REALLY return the favor. You only get one don’t damage it, you can’t get a refund. take care of it, and it will take care of you.

I know some people that do drugs and they think it’s cool and one time my friend asked me if I would do it and I told her yes but now that I think of it “NO” cuz Im better than that I could have fun by doing other stuff and yes I will try not to cut myself.

well if you can stand up to drugs, then you can certainly stop urself from cutting :)

but drugs affect the brain and not cutting but I guess your right.

cutting might not affect ur brain, but it still affects you ): what happens if u cut urself too deep and bleed to death? i’m not trying to say you will but its just a weird example.

Good choice. Todays people are not as mentally tough as we were before, now people just give in like nothing, you just proved your cabable of making right choices. Drungs do effect the brain, but the brain effects the body, its all one increadbly sophisticated machine. natrually we will get a little polluted (make some unheathy choices), just keep in as little as possable and

Do you guys think I should tell someone about my problem?

I’ve been cuttin since 2006 and I have never told anybody

you should definitely tell someone. well, you’ve told everyone on here. so thats a start. but you should tell someone that will stick with u and help out. that would be the best choice.

IDK to much about you or your situation, Thats up to you. In some cases YES people will help and support… in other cases NO they will critisise you and make things worse… your life, Lay down all the cards, take a good look, and make your choice.

Well it’s easier if I tell people that don’t know me, you know what I mean?
but If I tell a friend they will think difenret of me.

I do. I took some real haunting things of my chest to people i’ve never meet (this site) feel so good after words.
They will look at you diffrent ? like a lower person ?

not to discourage you, but yeah people usually look at you differently after you tell them things. but on the other hand (so complicated) maybe you will find out that the friend cuts themselves too or understands how you feel. or else thats why websites like this exist i suppose? to tell people your feelings and u wont be judged…

You know what? You guys are awesome but I think I made my decision. Im not going to tell anyone untill I feel the time is right or when I overcome this so I can tell them how I overcame it. but you guys have been helpful. I just deded to talk to someone that will help me and encurage me to do better I guess. People that write stuff in this wesite want help in makeing decisions and i think that’s what I wanted.

I have a friend that cuts and am sure she still does even though she says “no” but she has deeper problems, I just wish I new someone that does this and we can probably overcome this together.

Good job, getting better at life already I can see.
Well Best of luck on everything I know you’ll be fine, your already progressing, If you need support or anything else just let us know, everyone here would be more then happy to help.

:) good luck! remember that there will alway be people to understand you.

Thanks! you guys are so sweet :)

never meet real people that are you guys but I guess it’s different going to the outside world and really telling people my problems

but thanks
I’ll do better :) I know I will

bye!
