Borderline - Cutting Yourself

	@seethrough it's not easy to stop cutting after you know what it feels like, but it is possible. i'd stopped for like 5-6 years, and only started again recently. try occupying yourself with other things, that always helps, and try not to think about painful things (i know that might be hard) because that's what usually brings you to cut yourself. and the thing you said about trying to be happy, i do the same thing and get the same responses!

	Cutting relieves me of the pressure.I feel as if cutting will free my thoughts from the mental torture within myself that I endure.Sometimes I cut myself to show hatred towards myself.I feel as if I deserve this punishment for living a worthless life.But it's always too tricky to conceal your cuts from others.

	I cut because when I feel phisical pain I feel something,at least. I feel alive. Usually I feel emtpy,numb. As If I was dead inside.

	its a feeling of self release, everything just seems to escape my body through the cut.. scars are there sure, but it helps and some people need that feeling in order to live. theres many different reasons why people cut and they differienciate from person to person... so theres really no, one exact answer.

	I have cut a few times as a punishment like others here have said. I have harmed myself in lots of other ways, e.g. breaking my toe to avoid having to do something I felt I couldn't do. I think that pain and abuse is something I understand and can accept (I have difficulty accepting good things.)In a way I am happy when I am being treated bad because of this, even if it is myself that's doing it. I'm not explaining myself well, this is the first time i've tried.

	I don't cut myself, because I'm a dancer and don't want anyone to know. But in case you're interested in the motives of any other kind of self-injusry, I hit myself whenever I feel the urge to hit someone else, or whenever I do something wrong and get mad at myself. My mom always yells at me and my brothers and we hate it, and I've tried committing suicide because of it, and because I don't want others thinking that of me, or me thinking that of myself by writing out everything I'm doing wrong in a journal, I hit myself so I don't make an impression on others or myself that I'm an agressive person. I also really want to be as close to perfect as a person can get and if I take my anger, sadness and other emotions on myself, then maybe I won't be so emotional anymore and my emotions will stop affecting everything. And If that made any sense, or you actually read it all, I am impressed.

	I am glad to know that I am not alone. I don't cut myself anymore and haven't done so in some time, but I do think of it at times.

	It's like showing emotion is like a weakness, and cutting is the way to cry without shedding any tears. It's how you can get rid of the emotion and know that you're still human.

	I used to get beat by my father, he would get high and after the high left he would be mad its gone and beat me. at first i took it because if he hit me he wouldn't hit my brother. then i started to think it was kinda fun i used to challenge him while he was hitting me so he would hit harder about ten years ago my brother and i moved away to my moms so the hitting stopped but a year after it stopped i found that i missed the adrenaline rush of getting hurt so i started cutting. Ive been cutting ever since.
