Any other cutters?

---

yeah thats basically what happened here. Then i had gym and we have a uniform and its a t-shirt. so i was all panicked because you could easily see my cuts but no one noticed. I think my friends must be blind, which i guess is a good thing....

yeah its true some places are easier to hide than others but becareful if u always cut the same spot the scars are pretty awful and im sure this isnt what you want as even after you quit you are still aware of it ..and maybe your friends did notice but they are unsure how to approach you about it !

oh.. i didn't think of that. But i really don't know where else to cut and my shoulder seems to be working pretty well for me. also the cat scratch excuse still is working for me because my cat used to scratch me a lot before i started cutting. people must think she likes to jump up on my shoulder and scratch me though...

i used that excuse for my friend when she saw one of the cuts on my arm. it does work, though i feel bad for lying to her...

omg it is really hard to hide them i usually do it places ppl wouldnt normally look or color them with a marker or cut over the same one over and over again.geez why do i feel stabler....more stable after hurting myself?and why dosnt he love my back?!?!?sorry its just shit that u probley dont want to deal with....but yeah.

cutting seems to be a temporary way to make all of your problems dissapear! and coloring them over with a marker is maybe not such a good idea due to the fact you may end up poisening your self ! another option is at least wait until a scab or something else forms over it and cover it with non-harmful makeup products for example concealer or powder!i am assuming here that your motif for cutting is to do with a preson male/female in a possible relationship..... i hope i am not mistaken but if this is indeed true then try not to blame yourself if he/she doesnt lover you for who you are then im sure their are other people who do !( hope some of the above is helpful or at least relates but pm me if u need me )

upper thighs huh? i got to try that... yeah i always wear jackets and long sleeve shirts at home so no one notices. But this one time my mom noticed, and i had been drawing on my arm earlier that day so i just told her it was red pen and put on my jacket.

best not to try it at all and try to be careful if you keep wearing a jacket your mum will figure something is wrongyeah upper thighs is an unoticable one but becareful where you cut their a major artery their ! xXx

its stupid to cut i dont understand it wat does it prove take ur anger out on sports like i do skating bodyboarding ect.

You wouldnt understand if you havent done it, but it did a lot of therapy for me when i didnt have anything else. I would still do it if it wasnt for people that love me.

i do agree it is really difficult for a non-cutter to understand but before you comment on others think of how you would feel if it was one of you close friends or even one of you relatives who felt the compulsion to so such a thing !

ahh! My mom found out that i was cutting and freaked out. She was crying and was like "when did u start? why?" then she took away my razorblade. And i was going to this thing called ACAMIS this weekend....kinda of like a camp.... and she said i couldn't and i have to stay home and go to a shrink or something tommorow... cause she "is worried about me" apparently theres more sharp pointy things in a hotel room than in my room

yeah i must admit when my mum found she did freak too but its not something that is easy to understand .. i mean you think your son / daughter is happy and then they find out she/he isnt its not easy with time your mum will begin to see i hope im always here if u wanna talk just i dont know i mean to solve it u have to find the cause!

hi ive met , many depressed people and have stopped one person from sucide and 2 from self harm depression in any forms is a bastard, the thing is cutting yourself just makes that bastard better than you, face up to what is causing it , im always happy to listen ,gimme a pm if you want to talk about itanway , gd luck and i hope it all sorts it self out for you hang in there

yeah i do cut myself. um i don't really know why i do it.. i guess when i'm majorly pissed off, hurting myself is the only way to take out my anger. my left arm is full of cuts and all my friends and my boyfriend have seen them. i'm very ashamed about it. but i just cut myself to calm down .. i am doing it to my legs more so it's not as noticeable. i'm also depressed A LOT but .. whatever. school is almost done so this summer hopefully i will be happy more. all i know is that i am SO SICK of being depressed and hating life and people. ughhhhh

sometimes self harm can be controled. Its just another way people deal with things. Not every one wants to kill them selves. I cut and im no ashamed. I do cover up my cuts though becasue peoples attitudes towards cutting can be a bit too burutal for my liking. Ive been cutting for 4 years and i feel incontrol . Is this a bad thing? If i feel like i can control and care for my cuts and its not hurting me seriously (i never cut deep) is it really that bad?

i used to be a cutter-3 months no cuts- so i know how it feels. What i really hate tho(no offence to any one who posted here) is when people say "thats stupid" or flame people who do it. I admit when i first used to cut i did it for attention, but it gave me negative attention and i realized thats not what i wanted. so i did other things like being the class clown and now i get attention from everyone and everyone knows me for being funny and everything. i also used to cut to make my girlfriend feel bad but i realized it only made her not want to be wit me cause she thought if she ever got back wit me and broke up with me i would kill myself. Ive also punched things to get my anger out..to anyone who punches walls im not telling you to not doing cause ive been told that and i just told them to fuck off im saying the pillow thing really works because it gets my anger out and i dont have huge-bruised-knuckles.. i still have a fucked up middle finger-knuckle its about half an inch bigger than the other knuckles because of me punching things.

of course im using it as a coping method, thats the point. And also as for coping methods, people use all differnt types of coping methods, what about drinking alcohol and smoking, they could be all seen as coping methods, what about over eating, another coping method. Its only becasue these are relitivly accepted in our society, peple do not pay that much attention to them, there all equally harmfull as cutting, maybe even more harmfull than cutting. Ive never heard of anyone getting cancer from cutting?

thats very true you have a good point but some things kill you faster than others i know i hate it when people say "oh your so bad for cutting" but one slip with the razor and if you dont get help you could die and if you get cancer you have a year or two god i have to stop listening to my preppy cousin....yeah she knos i cut and when my friends abondond me for "being a freaky emo chick" she gave me bad advice but it might help you if you think about it but if you ever need somone to talk to im here you can e-mail me at...

all you need is a rele good bf who will "make"you quit ive done it to some of my past gfs its just making it look like a negitive thing and enforcing you dont need to do it
