If putting yourself through more pain to avoid another type of pain is all you have left... Talk to someone. Do something. Your wrists are bleeding And now you are pleading Please don't take my life away You wish you could go back But now as it turns black You watch as the colors will fade From what you do Because of you You'll end your life And ruin theirs too You've got to stop While you're still on the top Before things get carried away But now you've gone to far In the back of the black car Your parents are crying Your best friend is lying Says that she had no idea Your wrists are bleeding And now you are pleading Please don't take my life away

Replies blackbandaid Posted at 2:25 pm on July 9, 2009 I don't think cutting is a good thing to do, but that doesn't mean I think that those who do are stupid, or can't understand why they would do it. I think you're just angry and embarrassed that you tried it once, and you're trying to deflect those feelings onto other cutters by putting them down.

This screams contradiction. Exactly. I did it, because I'd heard and thought and beleived that it would make me feel better. And after I did it... I didn't know how anyone could do it or ever think it would help. It was stupid.    So what? It wasn't right for YOU but there are people who do it and it makes THEM feel better. I'll never understand how you could condone this. Because it makes some people feel better.

I'll never understand how you could condone this. Again... no one's saying that cutting is encouraged, or it's a good way to cope.  But that doesn't mean we can't understand why people cut. Someone that already has some form of depression is rarely ever helped when an individual tells them that what they are doing is stupid.  Some that cut already feel guiltly about it, but they can't seem to find a way to stop.  Hearing that it's stupid, only makes things worse... it rarely solves the problem or makes anyone stop. heavyrhythm Posted at 2:05 pm on July 9, 2009 Quote: from Kaijuu at 2:01 pm on July 9, 2009 Quote: from heavyrhythm at 1:57 pm on July 9, 2009 Quote: from Katx at 1:54 pm on July 9, 2009 You don't know how anyone could ever do it but yet you've done it?

Areola Posted at 2:00 pm on July 9, 2009 Because you just did it because you thought it was the "thing" to do. You did it for the wrong reasons, just to seem like you fit in. It's not about helping erase what's going on in that persons life. It's about bringing peace and letting the person forget about everything that's going on for a little while. And honestly, that's all they want. They just want to forget. Cutting gives that to them.

I didn't know how anyone could do it or ever think it would help. It was stupid. You tried it... thought it was stupid and stopped.  Others have tried it, and even if they don't think it's good... they keep going with it.  Just because something didn't work for you doesn't mean it would work for others.  You comment on scars, but some people don't care... other people like them. We're not saying that cutting is a good thing to do, or it's smart, or it works.  We're saying that comments like, "it's stupid" often times has a complete lack of understanding on that individuals part. You said you cut because you thought it would help you from things you've ~heard~... but what about those people that feel like they ~have~ to cut or feel compelled to cut.  It's much different than just thinking, "let me try this and see if it helps". heavyrhythm Posted at 1:57 pm on July 9, 2009 Quote: from Katx at 1:54 pm on July 9, 2009 You don't know how anyone could ever do it but yet you've done it?

I did not.   Don't assume things you dumb fucking twat. So if you don't cut yourself... Why encourage people who do? I mean... Encouraging people to harm themselves just because they have personal problems isn't right??? But I guess we'll never agree. So I'll stop argueing with a child on the internet. I never encouraged any type of harm. And I am not arguing with you, you'd know if I was. I'm just telling you if you don't understand something, don't bash it. Until you have actually done this or are very close to someone who has, you will not understand. I am merely trying to educate you. I have cut myself before. And afterwards I realized how stupid it was. I have nasty, ugly scars on my arms because of it. I hate myself for it and I don't know how anyone could ever do it. I just think its stupid and scary and it doesn't help anything.

Just like drinking until you're drunk, smoking until you're high, walking alone at night, or not studying for a test can be stupid to someone else.  For some, talking to someone that won't listen or doesn't understand is stupid. Temporary problems?  Quite a few individuals who cut aren't doing so because something bad just happened to them.  Depression doesn't come around because of a temporary problem, nor does there even have to be a clear cut 'problem' that requires sadness over it. Some of those people that cut as well do so to keep from doing something as drastic as suicide.  Cutting can release certain things in your body that actually help make you feel better.  For some, it overrides emotional pain, and can help them clear their mind. At the end of the day, everyone responds differently to problems.  Do something?  Some people can't afford to go see doctors.  Some people have no one to talk to... some who do try and talk to people are ignored or criticized. You also have to realize that the physical pain created by cutting is often nothing when compared to the emotional pain that they are going through.
