Is there anybody out there who cuts?

I'm just desperate right now, to know that someone feels the same way that I do. I'm just...overwhelmed with emotions. I want to cut, and make the feelings go away, to be numb. I'm honestly considering running away right now. It would be so easy, and I just have the urge to run away, and cut, and just lay down somewhere and die. I don't want to disappoint my fellow flag girls tomorrow, but I just can't do this anymore. I just want to leave.

Grah.

I hate this.

Update:

I have a place to run to, and I almost need to run away. This place, this house, (I can't call it a home because it's not for me), just makes everything so much worse. I just need to get away.

    i know i feel the same way right now. i don't cut but there is times when i go to the kitchen and spot a knife and i always feel urged to cut. i tried erasing my skin though. anyway try to e-mail me. i bet we could talk forever about this and hopefully we can both feel a little bit better afterward.

    P.S. oh and don't listen to Johnny, he doesnt care. he did kinda the same thing to my question. he is no help. but anyway email me. i need someone to talk to. am i bugging you about it too much?

    I am sorry to hear that you ar having problems. I have suffered from self mutilation since I was 10 and I am now 16. Every time something goes wrong in my life I get almost a twitchy feeling and I want to so badly give in and I try and stay strong. Running away just doesn't work either because most of the time you have nowhere to run to. I found a better coping mechanism like drawling or even dancing. And most of the time its impossible to get away from the problem so a tiny slip isn't going to stun your progress just try not to make it a habit. I hope for the best. If you need suport just to talk you should check out this web site. www.walkers.org and sign up and get into chat where everyone cares.

    You're not alone. Remember that.

    I know exactly how you're feeling. I know it's hard, but you have to keep fighting the urges, because they'll only get worse. Trust me. Try distracting yourself. Do you have a hobby, maybe, that you enjoy? A friend you could talk to about this? Anything like that?

    You can talk to me, if you want. I know what you're going through. *hugs* And, believe me, you can get through this. And you will.

    I know how you feel. I've had a very bad summer and for the most part I've been feeling pathetic and lonely, sometimes as if I'm going crazy. But I've got a therapist who's all over my every move so I can't do it even if I wanted to, the last time I did I she sent me to the hospital for 10 days. *sigh*

    Sometimes I just wanna go straight through and bleed to death. I don't know.. it's tough. Hope you feel better.

    I know how you feel 100%! There are people who know what your going through, who feel the way you do and even though there are going to be some jerks that answer this questions just remember that people out there with a heart care. And we are sorry for your pain my dear.

    And yes I am a cutter.

    I know how you feel. For the past year, i have been extremly depressed...I got into drugs...i got into alchohal, i started cutting, i even thought of suicide. But i forced my self through it, b/c i knew that, as much as it hurt now, it would not go on for ever. Im starting to feel depressed again, but im fighting it with the best of my ability. It has cuased to me get into the habbit of smoking cigarets, wich i now regret. And every day, i have to see the hideouse scars on my arm, and quiver with fear everytime i go for a check up, that they will see them. I know life is hard. But i promis you, it will get better if you force your self to beleve it. "Suicide, is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem" Good luck to you, and if you ever just want to talk...email me serino.tyler@yahoo.com

    Not anymore. Don't do it. Listen to Nirvana and everything will be okay.

    Don't cut deep enough to hurt your tendons, then you won't be able to cut the other wrist. :D
