Cutting didn't help?

I used to cut. So let me answer this. Cutting , in a way, felt like relief. Not the kind of relief like Ice cream after a break up, it's different. For a moment, you're not thinking about what made you upset, you're thinking about the cut. For a moment, you're not feeling emotional pain, you're feeling physical pain, which I preferred . This feeling does not last. And yes, I would agree with the others, that I wasn't in my right state of mind. It was a dark time in a dark place, and I urge you to find the light, rather than the blood.

Because people who cut aren't right in the head. I'm not saying they're crazy, I'm saying they have a lot of emotional and mental problems. People cut for various reason, whether it's to "relief" stress or sadness (which it doesn't), for attention, or etc. So that feeling you thought you'd feel is the feeling mentally distraught human beings feel.

coming from someone who has cut and recently had cut to me i believe your not "right" but yet you are yes you may have felt pain but in your head you were not emotionally unstable, i will admit some (not all) people that cut are unstable. i got one an stable but I'm a sense i can't cut my skin and not feel a thing If my mind becomes closed and i am not myself... at this time i could cut and cut and cut watch the blood run and not feel a thing but when I'm stable and I'm thinking clearly i an the biggest baby when it comes to pain i cut ti relieve the pain i feel emotionally

I've never cut myself in past however I understand what you're saying. Perhaps you didn't need to go through the pain of cutting. But what in the first place is it trying to help?

cutting affects each person differently.

it's possible you're scared deeply of pain/self harm or you have a issue with blood/gore, plus you need to understand cutting like many other destructive coping mechanisms, isn't for everyone.

cutting isn't supposed to help, it is not a cure for anything.

it's good you learned this and know not to do it again...

i have scars all over from my cutting and initially it provided relief to me but after a while it just became as a form of pleasure. from what i know, my experience with cutting is very different from other cutters.

it would provide relief a little bit but i was after hurting myself and making me suffer.... i enjoyed cutting myself, making me hurt and suffer, making me ugly and bleed, making me uncomfortable in public with all those cuts.

my relationship with cutting is basically the same as the more recent "the person in the mirror" thing that i started after i stopped cutting and I think i just seeked to hurt myself again...

I enjoyed watching the person in the mirror beg and plead, cry and suffer I actually didn't realize the person in the mirror is me and i was playing russian roulette with myself!

i'm really not sure what's next, will i go back to cutting or would i see more self harming ways to pleasure myself? or would i put a gun to someone and bathe in their desperation before i kill them?

Why would it not work? Let us see...it does involve the cutting of skin without reason. Why WOULD it work? Get therapy.

girl! why would you cut your wrist? You shouldn't hurt your own body...
