I repeat this over and over to cutters. Will any of them ever listen?

Your not crazy, your looking for attention. You should however find a more constructive way to accomplish that. You should also see a professional, they will help you with this problem.

But no your not crazy.

Cutting is like alcoholism, Its an opposition routed in many possible underlying problems; and some people are more susceptible to it then others. And also like alcoholism the cutter has to want to get help before they can get it.

I know, but if a cutter is posting a thread begging for help on a help website - I’d say that qualifies for wanting help. And therapy is the answer, yet they overlook that piece of advice every time.

No it doesn’t qualify, asking for help and really wanting help are two different things. For a person with a destructive obsession its much easer to ask for help then to really want it.

Liken it to someone going on a diet, You can tell your self a million times you want to go on a diet, but for many people they just never follow through. Its not till they really want it that they do it.

However it is a good sign that she/he is here, its better then being oblivious to the problem. It’s a good first step.

Ok Da-11. Whenever a cutter asks me for advice my answer will always remain “Therapy”.
J_ameskin: therapy brings up your problems so they can be dealt with. It can be a painful process healing through therapy. Don’t give up. Keep going to therapy. It takes time.

i went to therapy 3 weeks ago. to be honest its not the first time I’ve done this I’ve been doing this regularly like once a week since my first session with the therapist. i dont know i think therapy made things worse for me

It might have, you might have to find a different therapist. Therapists are not god, some of them can get it wrong.

that doesnt mean you should give up on it, or your self.

That works too. Admit yourself into one if you think that’s where you should be.

yeah maybe i will go back to therapy, but kinda think i should be in a mental ward

That is a good idea, the type of help that you can get in full emersion could really help. Not unlike an alcoholic going to rehab.

Perhaps you can find a rehab clinic set up for cutters, I’m not an expert, but I sure some exist since it is such a common problem

I think it’s completly wrong of you to send your friends pictures of you doing these things to yourself. They must be horrified. You need to get some serious help. Serious help. Before you do anything mental.

No u r not crazy, u just made a mistake. I mean don’t we all.
