+10Is the result of a problem, not the root problem itself. If someone is depressed and cutting, it's no good to just tell them to stop cutting. Instead you need to find the cause of their depression and stop that, or find a way around it. Because if you stop cutting, but your reason for cutting is still there, you've not really solved the problem and you're still going to try and find other ways to get the same effect that cutting gives you.
I was a cutter, but it was for things going on in my life that i couldnt deal with but relieved it through this way. My family didnt want to help me, i had no one in my life, so what else did i have? Nothing but that. But, i did get help from my Daddy/fiancee and have stopped it. I have urges but i dont go through that route at all. And i think the rest of the people who are not doing it for attention have problems really bad ones, that they feel like its their fault, or they cant get it out, do it in this way.
Or like others have said, they dont want to deal with it and just keep going with it. It really depends on the person and what has happened in their lives.
But, I am a firm believer that what you do to and with your own body is entirely up to you...
I do believe that, if you're ready to die, euthanasia should be legal... I personally do not like "cutting" and don't agree with it, and it usually is a sign of deeper issues (my daughter was a cutter).... as an underage person, cutting and such acts are and should be under the control of the parents...
People have a reason to do it.
Cutters are the same type of people. They don't want to die,its not attention they are seeking,they are trying to FEEL. Something,anything. They feel dead inside or that something in them is dying...Their trying desperately to breathe, to live.
One thing,lets turn it around if they could recognize that what is dying in them,within them,is the negative old junk and learn to let it go they will become healthier people.
Its people with bad attitudes about mental health that stop many from seeking assitance.
The thing about cutting that people don't understand is ... with every cut you have control...YOU DO...no one else...and you can breathe...for a moment you feel...you suck in life...
you are in my prayers!!!
Thank you for the advice, and for including me in your prayers. That's very sweet of you :)
I wish all those who cut/self harm would find help and different healthy outlets for their emotions.
people like this need phycotherapy.
its not a bad thing to discuse it with a profesional and it shouldnt be a taboo.
i would go if i had a problem
