I know that physical pain temporarily drowns out the pain you feel inside, but it doesnt solve your problems by any means. What is it that you are hiding from?

You don’t need her (or anyone else) to save you from yourself. You have to do that yourself. But, you can get help. Talk to your parents, your teachers, your dean…keep talking ’till you get some professional counselling.

Don’t hurt yourself. That doesn’t solve anythign in the end.

I started in 7nth grade after i started a new school got put in special ed for learning disabilities and i got a back brace for scoliosis i quit for 2 yrs and then started again this yr 10nth grade. At the beginning of this yr a girl threatened to kill a teacher, i told she stalked me, threatened me, assaulted me and i got a restraining order against her ( she kept breaking it and the cops didn’t arrest her bc the school didn’t care then the teacher i thought cared left and lied in court longgggg story) i then got ptsd still have it and nightmares so ya. ( u can read about it in my old posts) So any way the new dean came and i tested her to see if i could trust her she gained my trust and i really love her now shes the best i so Tae Kwon do at her dojang even about 2 weeks ago i met another cutter there we started talking i tried to help her but then everything came back i got addicted again from seeing her cuts and scars and all i want is my teacher to save me from myself bc i love her so much but i don’t want to quit i just want to hide it but now my cut is infected. :(…

If your cut is infected, you need to go to the hospital right away. Can you call this teacher, tell the truth, and ask her to help you talk to your parents? You cannot ignore this.

1.) Stop hanging out with other cutters, they arent a good influence obviously
2.) Dont wait for someone to save you, no one can read your mind
3.) Stop pitying yourself and take action!

Cutting is NOT a constructive way of releasing emotions. You are tearing yourself down, when you really need to be building yourself up. Seek help, dont let it come to you.

one time my mom was like totally wasted and i was only 14 at the time and i was just so tired of seeing her like that that i just sat on the floor and kept scratching my wrist till it bled… i know thats not the same as cutting but it helped at the time. i only did it once because the next day it was pusy and hurt really bad, it got seriously infectd and now i have a scar.

There is no “how” infected. There’s infected, and not infected. If it’s swollen, red, has pus coming out of it, hasn’t scabbed over, or just looks or feels nasty, then you need a doctor.

oh well my friend is a cutter to and well ok this is nasty but since it was a deep cut i stapled it closed so i took them out but she knows about infections bc she had one just like this bc she staples hers sometimes too and hers got infected and she said if i keep putting peroixode on it and cleaning it with soap and water and putting neosporan on it it will go away eventually even if it has pus coming out of it and there is a little bump with pus.

If it’s big enough and deep enough to need staples, it’s bad enough to need a doctor. Peroxide isn’t the best thing for a bleeding wound. It will kill the healthy cells right along with the unhealthy ones, and it won’t reach deeply enough into a wound to get rid of the bacteria. You need a doctor.

well i dont think in a real hospital they would have put staples in it I did with a stapler just bc it was fun but going to a dr. would require telling my parents sorry not happening unless my arm gets worse im not going.

So why did you log onto here if you dont really want help? I’ve heard numerous answers to your cutting problem (because it IS a problem) and you argue with all of them.

Gets worse? Define “gets worse”. If it’s infected, that’s worse. The next step is “needs amputated”. C’mon now…you know you can’t just let this go. You’re old enough and smart enough to stand up and take responsiblity for yourself. That starts with seeing a doctor right away.

I doubt anyone will think any less of you if you ask for help. In fact i would think it’s couragous. A lot of people give in to cutting, but you are trying to fight it. Keep being strong, tell your parents. Ask for help. You are better than your addiction, now prove it

Now i spent a lot of time typing up how pissed i am at people who cut themselves and then cry to me.
however,since i know everyone will ***** at me, im now going to be more sensitive.
Its good that youre trying to stop but not good enough. Look yourself in the mirror. Your stronger then that and you know it.
Be strong. Don’t try to be just be.
