I'd been about a year or more without cutting--without even THOUGHT about cutting, but then one night [I think it was in April or May] something inside of me SNAPPED. I don't want to go into everything that I said, thought, and did that night, but I kept cutting at my thighs with a sharp serated blade and it wouldn't bleed no matter how deep I cut. It's a good thing no one knew what was going on in my head that night or I would be wearing one of those special jackets with the long sleeves while sleeping in the bouncy room.

This is the first time I write about cutting myself.This is truly a great thread.I'm 16/17 years old, a student@High school.I have so-so grades.I do not take drugs.I am not very sociable but not that anti-Social.I have never been a "bullie" and have not been picked on.Well that should give you some background information, If you want more, just ask.
I have just recently began cutting myself this year.
Now on to why I cut myself:
I mostly cut myself for enjoyment, pleasure, stress relief.
I can't hurt the ones I love pyshically(like my parents) so when i can't hurt them I hurt myself.This is some kinda of stress relief for me.but this is only the case if its with my parents.
if its anyone else, forget them! I'll hurt them,lol
Ihave a certain fascination for crosses, so my cuts are in the shape of crosses.I also like the taste of my blood.I like seeing myself bleeding and I take pleasure in doing so.The pain isn't so bad , so its pleasureable.
I don't think I've cut myself for enjoyment yet.But I take it I will.Wait Upon seeing my arms, I take that back. I do it to enjoy myself, because as I see my scars fading away, I think of cutting myself again.Also Sometimes during school, if its really boring, I wish I had something sharp that would cut easily.That way I would entertain myself, but I haven't done it at school just at home. | |

Dude, Sinistress-- you like hearing 'I-love-you-guys!' testimonies like that? I was withholding mine for fear of being downtrodden.
Some people think it's pathetic how I'm always online, but this is the only place I've found people that know what I'm talking about-- people that understand. People that won't call the authorities if you tell them what's on your mind. In fact, I've found the most intelligent people I've . . . never met in my life all on this site. I'd probably be all weepy sitting in my room feeling sorry for myself, still, if I hadn't have come here. *sniff sniff* I love you guys! :p To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Sure, I've cut myself lots of times, but that's just because I wasn't paying attenton to what I was doing.[color=crimson][font=arial] The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

I don't know what triggered it or why other do it, but all i could find was a thumb tact and it worked well enough...it left quite a nice scar also, you just gotta push harder, it gave me the satisfation I needed... Guys are like slinkies- good for nothing, but u can't help but smile when one falls down a flight of stairs!
Conserve water...shower wif a friend!
Smile! It makes people wonder what you've been up too. *smiles sweetly*

i don't like the scars. i'm know for my collection of funny colored plastic braclets, only a select few know i wear them to coceal the scars, and recent cuts, sometimes bandaids (another thing ppl think i wear as a fashion statement).
i just like the pain. the only way i've ever been able to explain it is that its like making sure you can feel. that your alive. it makes all the other pain seem less important. they're just a monster

When I started this thread, I don't think I really expected to get the responses I did. Thanks.
Tell me, do you think it's a symptom of this generation? Or has it been a symptom in all generations, but simply unseen, untalked about?
Back when I was a kid, if you wanted to hurt your parents you ran away (or made plans to, but never did). You were always home by dark, and never left without your teddy bear. (yes, I'm old, it's not my fault). When I was a teenager you'd get back at your family by drinking or smoking or calling them names and being generally antisocial.
Personally, when I was really pissed at my parents, I'd do badly in a test or get in trouble at school, or steal from the till in our shop. There were plenty of ways to hurt them without hurting myself.
As for punishing myself ... I guess I used the same method as I used to feel something ... I ate. It's another habit that's almost impossible to break. Unlike drinking or cutting or smoking, you can't go cold turkey and live. You have to eat to survive. So, I still eat when I get depressed or stressed or whatever, and have been overweight my whole life.
Give a second chance at life, maybe I'd have been better off a cutter ... at least then I could buy nice clothes

I think that it has always been there, maybe during some periods it wasn't as strong, but has always been there. As long as u have people with anger or just do it for fun, or their own reasons, you'll have 'cutters'. | |

I used to be a cutter. I would sit in my room and cut myself to bleed out the pain and unhappiness I felt but couldn't explain. I tried to kill myself at least twice. I walked around in a daze most of the time, so I can't say how many times I tried to kill myself for sure. My parents found out I was doing this, and they made it worse. But finally, after they beat the shit out of me, they took me to a psychiatrist that diagnosed me with clinical depression and I started treatment. I am ok now, I sometimes get depressed, but nothing like before. and blah blah blah, queenie talks too much!!!!! all of you guys that are cutters, I'm living proof that it's not hopeless. My soul was tormented with the pain and sorrow I felt but then the sorrow melted away and seeped through my skin, dropping onto the floor and gathering in a puddle around my feet. I bled away my pain and hurt, releasing it from my body and letting it flow over my skin like ice water. Warmth filled the places where the cold emotions used to be and comfort consumed my tormented soul and replaced it with a soul that has never known pain, and I am whole again.
