Yes, in a perfect world :)

My ex-boyfriend stopped me from cutting by telling me that every time I cut myself, he would cut HIMself...
I didn't cut for those 3 years.
Needless to say as soon as the relationship ended I began cutting again.
He had good intentions ;)

^ ROFL, no doubt.
 
But the point is that even tho you have to deal with whatever you did right now and be reminded of it. (That sucks) You can make steps to make tomorow better.
 
Nothing, I fucked up and cut at work the other day, I couldn't take some shit that was happening. I got syringes again but thought it over and didn't do anything with them. Now that I have to lay off the majority of my drug use it's hard not to think about it.
 
^its a single fuck-up, ZAP, we all make them
just pretend uve got a slate in front of u and 'wipe it clean'
i know i cant possibly understand the desire to cut but thats wat i used to do wen i relapsed on drugs
 
ZAP, don't let a single slip-up throw you off course. It sounds like you're doing really well, and remember it's okay to have weak moments sometimes. Just stay strong and remind yourself why you don't cut anymore.
 
Some interesting ideas and advice here, took me a while to read this thread =]
I used to cut and such when I was younger and I regret it greatly because my left arm is riddled in scars and people question me on it. I still feel the need to wear long sleeve tops because of this tiger stripped pattern down my arm. I also have a large scar across my chest as well.
But I don't do that anymore, I do think about it but I'm too happy, possibly too crazy to do it these days. If I get sad I just go outside and focus on all the small, great things in life that I usually miss.
But I understand people sometimes do what they do because it helps to stop a form of pain inside.
Just remember there are many things in this world to help. And if you are feeling really depressed, I know it sounds lame, but take E. E changed my life and I would recommend it to anyone with depression, painful memories etc.

Take care and focus on that gold in your heart, it is a beautiful thing

i know this isnt really a drug thread but i just thought id caution anyone interested in taking E for depression - too much can make u really depressed......worse than previously
so go easy on it - and remember u may feel depressed on the comedown and the day after as well
that was an inspirational post, reizo
 
I cam pretty damn close today. My brother, he was making so much noise that I could hear him across the house. I walk in and ask him what the noise was and without even looking toward me he just says "hush". I don't know what his problem but apparently I deserve no respect or consideration like a normal human being.
The only reason I didn't cut was because I don't have a sharp razor right now.

I did a drawing that was related to cutting last night in pencil. But I think I might get in trouble if I posted it on TDS.

This points to signs of possible obsession. Seek professional help.

I believe you have serious issues after reading through this entire thread. I would seek professional help immediately. If someone telling you to hush leads you to search for a razor then you NEED HELP ASAP....

If you want to quit cutting that is, which it sounds like you do.

You make her sound like she's nuts man..lay off. We all have problems. Somebody tried to tell me the other day that self harmers are "cooky". We're not. We just deal with it differently than someone else.
 
Ok, heres the deal. Drawing is a non-harmful coping skill to do when I want to cut. Its not a bad thing.
Yes, my reaction to that was over the top, but 1. Its not unusual for my family to treat me like shit 2. its related to my BPD in that rejection is the most painful feeling in the world and I do anything to escape it. Yes, I am seeing a therapist.
 
I started cutting last night for the first time in so so long. I was extremely drunk and (as usual when I get this drunk) had a fight with my boyfriend. It was REALLY bad this time. The cuts themselves weren't so awful but I have to wear long sleeves to the first week of classes of law school at least, in August. :| Totally retarded of me and I feel like a big fucking dumbass. It's like, did I do it because I really wanted to or because I wanted him to see how much I was hurting? Probably a bit of both. Ugh. I feel so gross. Plus I have a HUGE welt and bruise on my hip because I threw myself down in tears. Gross. I hope I can recover from this without being too ridiculous.
 
Well, hun as you can see, there are a lot more reasons than some people think for engaging in that behavior. Really, its hard to know sometimes why we start, but I encourage you to stop while you still can.
 
^ Yeah, I use to self-harm a lot and unfortunately have a ton of scars as a result. Every now and then I relapse into self-harm and do it again. It hasn't become a habit again though. Every single time I do self-harm again I realize why I generally don't do it at all anymore. I guess I just needed a reminder. :\

Thanks for your words. <3
 
Jesus fuckign christ, the more i go sober the more I wanna cut. "just stop its that easy" have you ever been tehre motherfucker? get out of my business. i know i'm moving into your house but its not that goddamn easy, ive been clean like you wanted but you don't understand, when i speak like i've been told i kick myself for it, for my thoughts, i think and feel too much i'm nto the only one but goddamn when you live alone inside your head for 18 years it drives you mad. i cant find a happymedium, i'm either catatonic, high, or dangerously agagressive. i cant take being sick in the head and body.
