| Caitee Jazz Hands  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 386 | My dad says it's as equal to an eating disorder, but it's not as 'open' as the disorders. I know some people inflict themselves because they don't have any other way to express their emotions. |
| bloodredruby69 Banned  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8293 | And I'm also going to say, that not all those who cut do so to relieve pain, be noticed, for bragging rights or any of the other reasons previously stated here. Some do it because for them, pain feels good, in which case, the person who is harming themself usually does relatively small shit. It's called Masachism. |

| Tara Scene Motor Baby  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 939 | Okay the cutting just for the attention thing isnt right in most cases i know of i mean the people who say they cut probably dont and just want the attention and end up in a alot of trouble On the other hand people who cut and dotn talk about their feelings or you noticialelly see scars or covering the wrist ir ankle area all the time have a serious problem and need to get help cutting doesnt solve any propblems but the people who do it seem to have all the problems solved by self-harm and most of the time dont want help |
| asha shake. Devil's Got Your Number  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 36414 | I am okay: Self-harm doesn't solve problems though. It just creates more. & it doesn't matter if they don't want help, if they are cutting themselves, they obviously need help. |
| DiabolicalDancer Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 421 | I have a question - is there a difference between a chronic cutter and a periodic cutter? Sorry, that didn't make much sense. Say a person cuts only when seriously unhappy, but that has only been about three times, ever. What should a friend do? Is that any different than a person cutting more often? |

| Sally Stitches. Awake and Unafraid  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11740 | For those of you who are telling cutters to 'just stop', it's not as easy as putting away a cookie or something. The feeling is kind of like a drug, you get addicted to the pain and think it helps you get through the day. And it hurts to be called a 'freak' because you cut. Because cutters are still humans, they still have feelings. Calling them 'disgusting' won't make them stop. It actually makes it worse. Suicide is terrible. And that's pretty much it. |
| bloodredruby69 Banned Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8293 | RedRose - Sometimes a person who only cuts on occasion is the one that poses the most danger to themselves. Chronic cutters tend to do less damage at a time, where chronic cutters may cut only a few times, but do extensive damage on those fewer occasions. Talk to them, and try to help them find a better way to deal with their problems and emotions rather than self harm. |
| Sally Stitches. Awake and Unafraid Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11740 | RedRose: People who only cut themselves once in a little while are way better off. They stop easier. People who cut often are usually addicted. |
| bloodredruby69 Banned Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8293 | ^Don't be so sure. People who cut, do so for a reason. Regardless of once a day or once a month, if it is part of your life and lifestyle, it would be a difficult thing to give up. |
| XxMeAnt-4-tHeFliEsxX Joining The Black Parade Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 196 | It affects anyone that cares about you. It's like your hurting them just as much as your hurting your self. Sometimes support groups don't help at all. Support groups just treat you like you got some huge issue and your crazy or some sort of retatrd. When in reality you just want someone who understands and can just help you through with it. Pshaw! much luv<33 Judy Vengeance |
| bloodredruby69 Banned Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8293 | ^The people that really care about you should have enough trust and love for you to give you a chance. And support groups are groups of people who are going through the same shit as you, want help, and want to find that someone else cares about what they are going through. Support groups are like people helping people helping people. You help others and they help you, and together you get through it. But to do so, you have to care and make an effort. Thanks for the unwarented bias. I agree though, that sometimes support groups don't work. Different people heal in different ways. And not all self harm needs to be cured. |
| Sally Stitches. Awake and Unafraid Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11740 | bloodredruby69: Not always. Some people cut because they're bored and have nothing to do...I had a problem with that, some people [like I used to] would just cut for the fun of it. Because they like the feeling, I guess. While others are strictly cut-for-a-reason-only people. And if you just cut once, or twice, it's easier to give up than, say, 10 times. You're not that addiced yet. |
| not tonight Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 551 | I think that to many people think that people do it to look cool, and when people actully have problems and want to die they just ignore it and think the're trying to be cool. |
| Mud Really Not Okay Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 749 | NoYouAre:Even if they're doing it to be cool, its a major problem. Think how much they must crave attention/approval to do that to themselves. Thats not to distract from the severity of people who do it for other reasons, but I don't think its fair to underestimate the severity of doing it for social/attention-seeking reasons. |
| bloodredruby69 Banned Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8293 | BloodyPetals, regardless of how often you cut, quitting is never as easy as people say it is. Some people don't cut for the rush, they cut for the pain. Some do it for attention. Some because of boredom. Why you do it doesn't really matter. That you do does. Self harm, once introduced to a person to a point where they would consider it, becomes an option. When it's an option, there's a risk of reaccurance. The ones who cut on impulse are the ones I really worry about. Chronic cutters do so often, but they don't do as much damage to themselves each time. Sure, they scar up pretty bad, but the cuts are most often shallow, quick to heal and don't usually encumber complications. Those who cut once in a while, tend to cut deeper, and the wounds take longer to heal, meaning a greater risk of infection. Oh, and you don't have to cut a specific ammount of times to become addicted. For some people, after they cut once, they want to all the time. Time is not a factor. |
| D.92 Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 8 | 10-20 years ago the world was closed, now there's more than one culture in each country, at the past people believed in God more than now, beliveing in God it what makes people stronger against suicide and self harm, so to stop doing this, get closer to God! |
| Innamorata Awake and Unafraid  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 11838 | D.92: No. Religion does not solve everything. That's just a plain narrow minded statement and the topic has way more depth than ' Just get closer to God.' No. Observe society a lot closer, please. |
