It feels good due to the chemicals it releases into the blood stream.

So does, offering help and/or kindness to another, receiving help and/or kindness from another, and witnessing help and/or kindness given to another, and it does not leave any scars. Which do you see as more beneficial in the long run? Carol

find another outlet. something else. in the end its only damaging. a quick fix. it doesn’t help in the long run.

Think of it from a different perspective. You are walking down the street with your best friend in the whole world, when suddenly a man comes out of no where and starts slicing your friend to bits. Would you help her? Would you call the police?

Do you realize who you are chosing with your free will to place in charge of your life? After all, that is exactly what is happening and you will be the only one that actually lives out the benefits, or consequences of the decisions that will be made. Are you prepared to do this?

I was not referring to God. I was referring to you choosing to put a cutter in charge of your life and destiny. If that is OK with you, then so be it. We really do not have power to overrule you. Carol

everyone has a way of coping when life starts to pile up. Some ways of coping, like meditation, are better than others, like food binges or getting drunk. Cutting is a bad one, but its better than not coping.

I think replacing the habit is easier and more likely to stick than cold turkey (kudos going 4 months on will power alone, that’s strong). I would recommend exercise. It will give you a similar endorphin rush, and you’ll feel a heck of a lot better for yourself.

Thanks, I’m not really ready to cope completely YET. I know this sounds weird, but I’m gonna try out an eating disorder for a few weeks and see if it fills that void. If all else fails, I still get prettier.

LOL, that does sound weird. Granted, I just ate a cheeze whiz and apple slices sandwich, I might have an eating disorder myself.

the fatal error you made, is asking a friend to be a therapist for you.
friends are friends. theyre not there to solve your life issues.
if you want help, go to the appropriate people, like the school counselor.

otherwise, vigorous exercise will release exactly the same endorphins self mutilation will.

:) I love that skit did it help?

It would also be bad for your baby after the birth.

good god i hope youre not really pregnant if this is your attitude and understanding of mental illness.

what a charming term for the life growing inside of you.

I do so hope that before your baby is born, you discover that your life is not defined by how many mental illnesses or scars you can boast about having.
