yeah i'd say i know what u mean but i dont sure i get angery alot but the though of cutting has never crossed my mind
If its never crossed your mind then you couldnt hope to understand,dont care if it seems stupid to you..
i dunno if ive done the quoting bit right, but anyhow i hate it when people think its stupid to cut when they obviously dont know anything about it and why people do it, so dont judge. it helps me take alot of my feelings out and if it works for me and others that way, then it isnt a bad thing.
their r things worse then having sa and all the bagage with it we need to value what we have and not let anger and petty shit control you's.
I shouldnt even have to explain myself, but u know nothing about my life and why I cut. I do not just cut because of the sa and depression there are other reasons too which I am not going to go in to cause I dont see why I should. do not pretend to know every single reason why I cut, I'm not judging you, so dont judge me.

Abc1234.. there is an actual scientific explanation why for some people cutting is a way of coping.This is from memory.. so i could be way off the mark but i think certain chemicals are released when you cut yourself, which provide a temporary like.. relief from all the saddness.. and anger which has built up.
Im sure you can think of a time where you were that angry or upset about somthing, that it all got to much and you had to release it.. and you ended up punching or kicking somthing like a wall.I dont self harm anymore.. i use to when i was a kid.. so i dont claim to know what people who do it are going through.But i guess cutting is like punching a wall.. except you focus it on yourself and its addictive.

ok sorry didnt mean that in a bad way. so why do yous cut
I think Yeti summed it up pretty well....but it's a way of releasing your inner pain. If the thought has never crossed your mind or you have never harmed, then it's pointless trying to explaining it xxx

yep...mostly I scratch myself though. No one knew about it until last year my mom saw a huge red scratch on my arm, where I had peeled the skin off.
Same here, except not as much any more. I remember that I would always scratch lines and words into my legs with my finger nails when I was younger (like maybe around five years old ), and I'm pretty sure I even showed my mom before, but she didn't even do anything. She also never really did anything when I would talk about the "s" word. Little kids don't know what they're talking about. They can't actually be depressed, right? What could they possibly be depressed about? She must just be looking for attention.
