If you don’t like blood, don’t read.

Well, if you haven’t read any of my posts, let me tell you something. I cut my legs, have trichotillomania, a lousy father, and mean friends. Also, depression and anti-social anxiety.

I just kind of want to get this out, because of course, I can’t tell anyone else. The other night, I brought to my room a small cup of water, three sheets of paper towels, and my beloved razor (I usually keep it in my wallet, in case my parents search my room). So, I began cutting, and I felt pretty weird…I could barely feel the cuts, and I was mad at myself for not cutting deeper, there wasn’t enough blood. Pretty soon, as you can imagine, the blood was really flowing. I loved that.

Anyways, it was going really fast, so I had to try to stop it, but I had used up the paper towels, and running into the bathroom for a towel wasn’t gonna happen (I was dripping a lot), so I used my white blanket. It wasn’t stopping, but I was okay with that, as odd as it sounds. I got up and tried to sort of…scoop up the blood with the razor, so that it might stop, stupid move I know..Anyways, the end result was that the razor was wet, sticky, and warm, and my fingers looked like I had murdered someone, my leg was gushing blood by then, and the floor was covered. I have wooden floors, so I dropped the bloody razor into the shallow cup of water, and tried to clean up the blood on the floor.

Eventually, I had to run to the bathroom and get in the tub. I turned on the water, and let my blood just…go. After a couple of minutes, I was pretty much nodding off in the tub, but I woke up with a start, knowing I had to clean everything up before someone saw the mess. I got out of the water, my bleeding slowing down, but the water was bright pink, and it kind of stained the tub. It took a while to clean that out. Then I had to clean the floor while trying to control my leg flow. Finally, I rolled up my blanket in a big ball. I got another blanket out, and put on two supersized bandaids, and went to sleep.

The End. I hope you just loved my horrifying story. Probably gonna do the same thing tonight, only more water, and a towel. =]

****** up, right?

It’s not really about dying, although suicide is a big possibility, it’s not gonna happen anytime soon. Am I a freak because I love to bleed?

Are you getting any therapy right now? I took a quick look at your old post and see your parents know about your cutting. Did they get you any help?

I don’t understand why you act like it’s some sort of game or something?

I have seen many of your posts and all I see is a girl that is hurting. I wish I could say something that would make you stop and see that you don’t need to do this, but I know that when you are in a place that makes you do this, nothing can help. Just please understand this: you don’t need to do this, you are worth something and the people here care.

I guess..I’m just a cynic. Maybe I’m just mad at the world, and I’m trying to make it sound less than what it was.

Thank you. I feel like you understand, maybe a little bit..
I don’t know if I’m depressed, or what.
It’s not normal, I know that.

Look, I do understand, but I also know that this isn’t the way to deal with problems in life. It only creates more problems than saving them; something you have evidently discovered.
I know this will probably be rejected, but I suggest either talking to your parents about getting a counsellor or therapist or find one yourself. They will help you discover the root of the problem and help you deal with it in a way that doesn’t involve hurting yourself.
Nothing is normal anymore, so I wouldn’t worry about it not being normal :)

I’ve just read this over and have realised it sounds quite cold and hard. I really didn’t want it to seem like that, I was just trying to help. Please don’t take it the wrong way. I do care.

Don’t worry, I know you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t care. =)
I know it sounds pretty pitiful, but I don’t want to deal anymore.
I’m also too scared to kill myself, but what scares me, is if something happens, I will do it if I have to, if I’m deep enough.
It’s like I don’t have to energy to care anymore.
I don’t want to have to lie to my parents, my brother, my friends.
When my friends ask me why I skipped school a lot, I just tell them I’m sick.
But I know that I just don’t have to energy to keep lying, to throw myself into the mix..

If you don’t want to deal, do you want things to get better? I guess that’s kind of dealing with it, but not just leaving it as it is.
Another reason to deal with it, you don’t want to die and I certainly don’t want you to, so try and stop it before it gets that far.
You do have the energy to care, you just need to dig a bit deeper, but you will find the energy.
The remedy to feeling bad for lying is telling somebody the truth, it doesn’t matter who, just tell them everything so that they can help you, and in time you will be able to open up to others too.

i know this sounds crazy but i totally enjoyed your story, mostly because i can relate to it completely, i don’t cut to feel pain or to kill myself i just love the sight of my own blood, its such a fantastic feeling you get when you can’t stop the blood flow, how long have you been doing this ?

I’m not gonna say this is dangerous because you already know that and i already know that it won’t stop you, but i will say be careful.

Thanks, finally someone knows at least a little bit of how I feel.
I know, it’s pretty dangerous, but like you said, I have worse things on my mind.
I’ve been cutting for maybe…two years. Yeah, it’s kinda hard to say exactly when I started, but that’s my guestimate.
