It's fucking retarded how some people cut their wrists to GET RID of pain, amirite?
by Anonymous13 years ago
actually cutting your wrists releases and makes physical pain go away. Makes you feel better but it wont do anything if you are depressed.

They dont do it to get rid of pain. People who do that think their lives are such torture so it means they are already dead so they cut themselves to feel alive.

the people that responded "no way" are emotional beings

Excuse us for having emotions

God forbid people actually care about others. Try having a little understanding, hm? It's assholes like you who make them want to do it more.

Some people who cut themselves don't do it to make the pain GO AWAY, but they do it to have something to cry about.
This is not to sound mean though. Just, in some people, this is how it is for them.
Some people do it because they don't know how to cope with the pain. It all depends on the person. Some do it for attention...and those people deserve to be drop-kicked.

Self-mutilation is often for attention, but it's unconscious. It's like a cry for help, your brain is trying to show there's something wrong.

There are some people that do it for control. Because sometimes it's the only pain some people can control and it makes them feel better.

Cutting releases endorphins, it's no different then the rush you feel from a tattoo or piercing, everyone self medicates, who are you to judge?

Couldn't have said it any better myself(:

The OP is an idiot.

I used to do it to get rid of the emotional pain, and just focus on the physical pain. It's more of a distraction than anything to me. You get lost. But when i got done, i would stare at my wrist and cry. But for the 20 minutes i was doing it, i got some relief. And that's all you want when you're in that kind of state. Don't judge unless you've been there. Please and Thank you.

I was all ready to rant about how stupid and insensitive this post is, but I see you guys got it covered. =)
I especially agree with OptimusPrime in that attention cutters need a smacking. People who actually have the mental issues that make them want to cut are fiercely private about it. They would no more post pictures of their cuts on Fb than they would post themselves taking a shit. I'm sure pb55020 could attest to that.

Well I guess none of you have heard of this new craft, almost like magic, ahh what do they call it? Hmm wizardry, noo, sorcery, noo, alchemy, nahh OH YEAH psychology.
by Anonymous13 years ago
its actually psychiatry, buddy
by Anonymous13 years ago
Not always. psychiatry involves medication and other option similar to that, psychology doesn't offer that option, nice try though[:
by Anonymous13 years ago
fully aware, take it from someone who knows a lot about this, it would require a pyschiatrist. Thanks(:

Not always. neither me nor anyone else i know who went through this required a psychiatrist.

Of course getting help is the best idea, but being afraid to tell people things you're ashamed of, scared of, or w/e is not the same as being "retarded", as op so tactlessly put it. It's just human, and that's not just a cliché. The brain resists changes from habitual things, whether they're negative or not. Until staying the way you are becomes more unpleasant than the prospect of change, it's ridiculously hard.
For anyone's info- the right therapist is one of the best things that will ever happen to you. Imagine a wise, completely non-judgemental, extremely knowledgable diary xD My mom thought I needed on when I was 15-17, and she was like my best friend. She understood EVERYTHING. She had the whole family come in once... and boy did my mom not like what she had to say. Mom never agreed to come again, but I got to see her weekly for almost 2 years. I still send her xmas emails and stuff =) Seriously, it's awesome... well, except the cost. Mos...

... Most places have a mental health center that you can get help for free, and just because it's free doesn't mean it's bad!
by Anonymous13 years ago
Unless you have been there yourself you can't say it's "retarded" just because you don't understand.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Sigh.
OP, you haven't a clue.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I feel so bad for people who are depressed enough to do that :( I just want to go up to them, give them a huge bearhug and tell them everythings going to be alright.
One of my closest friends in highschool was cutting herself, and nobody new for months. It basically tore my heart out when I found out. (there were some nasty rumors going on around school). All she said was "it helps". But now she is all better :) I'm not sure exactly what happened but all I know is she got help and now she is enjoying life a lot more now :)

Some people need to learn, seriously OP you have never been at that point obviously. Because if you had, you wouldn't even think about saying so completely rude and thoughtless.
It takes an insane amount of effort to quite an addiction like that. And yes, it becomes an addiction. It does help sometimes, but it isn't the answer.
People saying insensitive things like that does NOTHING to change the way people act, and if it does change it, it changes it for the worse.

Physical pain is much more bearable then emotional pain.

Trust a post like this to draw the sixbillionsecrets crowd. It already got reported for being insensitive.

Cutters should learn to masturbation.

Physical actions cannot have mental disabilities, for one. And for two, cutting your wrist is not at all stupid, only a mistake that will at one point be learned from. It is only a phase that visits just about anybody who has once believed physical pain helps as a cover-up of emotional pain.
by Anonymous13 years ago
No, its to make EMOTIONAL pain go away. You feel like nothing and everythings all happening at once, and you need to feel something and get rid of the sadness. Its better to feel physical pain that you can see and understand why its hurting, rather than feeling dead inside.
by Anonymous13 years ago
These kind of posts are why most cutters keep it a secret.
