Self harmers......words from their own mouth
" yes, possibly self-harming. lol it wasn't actually that bad, it just bled more than it had any right to. it was weird though. i didn't want to do that to myself, i had no reason to. i guess stress is just rebuilding itself inside of me. ill make sure that if that feeling comes up again, ill meditate and be around people so that i won't. i hate it when i wake up in the morning with a new scab to hide, so ill make sure it wont happen again. at least ill try not to. trust me, if i wanted to keep going i wouldn't have just told you. i guess all of my thinking about me and the world has gotten to my head, eh? not to worry, ill try my very hardest not to let it happen again. i forced myself to stop last time and instead started writing. and although the poem turned out very creepy, at least it prevented me from getting harmed" anonymous cutter
How do I stop cutting???
"I've been cutting for over 4 years and it was kinda off and on, but now it's completely out of hand. I have cuts all over my body and I bring a knife to school everday to get some type of relief, but the thing is no one knows. Any suggestions on how to stop cutting by myself." anonymous cutter
Answer to the self cutter
Instead of cutting, try clenching your fists real hard and just constrict yourself into a ball, tightly. Or pop a rubber band on your hand or wrist real hard to feel pain.See a shrink and get some meds and go to a support group. You need to learn that you are a beautiful person. You are doing this for the relief that follows after you cut. Get new friends and work out your issues at home. If it is too much to bare at home then find activities away from the house. Find a beautiful new friend at a support group and move in with them. The state will get you free meds and therapy if you are broke. Go to church on sunday and after the sermon go into the kitchen to be around nice people and eat up all their free cake and coffee. A lot of the stuff there is homemade.bless you. john...you know that John Lennon suffered too. But he got into primal scream therapy. Thats where you litterally scream. He wrote a song called COLD TURKEY and at the end of it he is screaming out his lungs. John Lennon also used to talk to Paul Mc Cartney about drilling a hole in his head to releive his pressures. Lennon had heard about this being done in the mid ages, so Lennon was for sure a cutter or self harmer of some kind. But whether he actually ever cut or what forms of releif he seeked were unsure because other than primal scream therapy nothing else was reported about him self harming. so there is alternate therapy to the relief from cutting.
Question from a cutter
Is it normal for me to act this way?
Ok, heres the story, my mom died when i was 4 and my brother was 11 months. After that my dad become an acholic, and long story short, we ended up in a 2 bedroom house when i was 14, and i found myself crying and seriusly depressed. Then i ended up cutting myself(not to die, but to just know that im alive) and the blood made me happy. But that only lasted for alittle while, and after that i just lost all emotions. Im 15 now, i havent cryed or felt "any" emotion at all, even when i visit her grave i dont fell any thing, its this weird.
Answer to question
bless you and know that you are loved, and you should find someone good in your life who tells you that also. you do not remember getting any love from your mom cause you were too young when she passed away. and partly because of your fathers alcoholism, he has not been properly showing you love either. you see, people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol stop growing emotionally and your father has not properly showed you the love, care and support via hugs that a young girl like you deserves. do you have any close family members like aunt or uncle who you can stay with if you cannot tolorate living with your dad. you do not say that you are fighting with your dad, but you need to be in an enviroment where you can get the love and attention you do deserve. i'm concerned that you have been unable to show emotion. you really need to go to an outreach, or support group for self harmers where you can have others who have gone through what you have been going through show you how to heal and love again. it may sound strange for you to go to a support group, but that is great that you got on here to ask questions about how you are feeling. that right there says that you care and that you want to get well. when i quit drinking and went to AA, I was ashamed at first, but when i got to a meeting those people helped me save and change my life. you will bond with others instantly when you have an issue in common. you can call your state or city social service angeny and they will help you get a free psychiatrist to help you. and you can get free samples of meds and even free meds if you need them. please reach out for others who have gone through what you are going through right now and they will feel like a band aid on your soul. god bles you. your so young to feel all this help. you can change things. you can email me here on yahoo answers or at caristancleaners@yahoo.com if you need more advoce. john carcerano
