ii cut my self when i feel there is too much presure on the inside i see it as a release but it dont make me feel any better, but to know atleast theres something to me is better than having nout about you, i get depressed about not being able to enjoy a normal life where i can go out with mtes a little time before christmas i grabed my brothers samuri sword and hacked into my arms with it, then i got eally drunk and rode my bike down a steap flite of stairs smashing my face into the ground,

it seems cutting myself is the only thing i can do that gives me a sence of realism otherwise i just feel empty just completely void

I never thought of cutting ever. I think cutting is really seperate from sa.

I have felt hopeless but never suicidal.

self harm and suicide are almost complete opposites. Self harm is done to survive, suicide is done to end. Although there aren't many days that go by when i don't cut now, I am never really considering ending my life. Much like what jayy2k7 said, I just need a release from everything and unfortunately I have found that cutting provides me with the needed release which I continue to do to survive.

I used to take the blades out of pencil sharpeners and cut myself with them, so now I have scars on my arm that I tell people are scratches from the cat (sorry to my cat, Pybus) anyway I haven't done it in awhile and I was in a really angry mood the other day, so I went to the supermarket in search of pencil sharpeners, and you wouldn't believe it, but there were none there at all,usually there are tonnes, but they had no sharpeners at all, is that a sign that I should never cut myself again or what? I also went to another one and they had none either Shocked Shocked Shocked

To answer the original question:
I used to, for several years, ending in late 2003, culminating in a suicide attempt that I don't know how I survived. The human body is remarkably resilient. I have worn long sleeves ever since (even through the hot summers where I live). I have considered scar revision surgery, but I will have to wait until I can afford it, which may be more than a decade from now. In fact, I've become so paranoid of people seeing my scars (which are still very prominent and take up about half the space on my arms), that I can hardly move, due to anxiety, when I am not wearing long sleeves.
To anyone who does cut, I recommend avoiding any exposed skin, because even if it seems like a good idea for other people to see your scars, you will probably not think so later, and the odds are you'll still be around later to care. Slashing your abdomen sides hurts more anyway.

How many cutters here! Shocked

I've never cut myself despite of some depressive moods and I'll never do it, too. I can't imagine if I could do something like that!

And also suicide - I can't understand how the fear of death can be less than the will of ending even the biggest depressive suffering...

And I would probably pass out / faint when doing it - brrr - even when I have my blood downloaded with a syringe on the blood tests, I always turn my head away not to watch it... Confused

Yeah its sad isnt it Sad that so many decent people hurt themselves.Ive been a long term self harmer.. i started when i was about 12 i think,i dont rreally want to go into details but i grew up in a less than perfect childhood.. and i wasnt aloud to like express any feelings especialy anger... which was hard because i had so much directed at me and i just had to take it.Eventualy i couldnt take it cos like the anger was just too much inside me if anyone can relate to what i was saying... and i just snapped when i was about 12 like i said and got the impulse to harm myself.. ive pretty much done it ever since but have got a bit of a handle on it now thankfully Smile

Its scary how addictive it is.. and the fact that as you carry on the self harm tends to get worse.. part of the reason im really trying to stop is because ive got to the point now where it cant just be a little scratch.. i get that angry i really hurt myself Sad Like i said thankflly im pretty much on top of it but the silliest things can set if off and make me wanna do it.And to the person who asked if it makes you feel happy... well im not sure the exacts... but i think when you cut.. it actualy releases chemicals (seratonin maybe?) which yeah made me feel calm and braught alot of relief and got rid of all the built up rage and tension.

Ialso thing its kinda mental aswell.. in a controll sort of sence but i guess its different for different people,ive known people to cut cos they feel they should be punished Sad And while my mum was in hospital there was this lovley girl in there.. she was really pretty but thought she was ugly and had disfigured herself badly cos of that. Sad

I started cutting last year, but they were very minor cuts. About a month ago i began cutting again and i have found my cuts have been getting deeper and longer and i cant seem to stop. I always get urges to do it and its the only thing thatamkes me feel ebtter. I dont know what to do.
