How many of you are cutters?

confess here: do you cut yourself on a regular basis? have you ever done it? or have you never done it?

 

I cut myself. Not nessicarily on a regualr basis, I guess I go on cutting sprees.

 

i do the same thing!

 

I used to occasionally slash my arm with a pair of scissors or a knife.

 

Whats the best way to cover it up? Its summer and I don't like wearing long sleeve shirts, now its too hot.

 

use makeup, wristbands or bracelets, or just make up a story to go along with it. i used to have problems hiding it so now whenever i feel the need to cut i just do it on my upper leg where it isnt clearly visible. also you can put neosprin on the cuts to help them heal and not be as visible.

 

I , on occasion, burn myself. It's like cutting, I guess. I could never really cut myself, but I've got cigarrette burns on my wrists since I was like 8 years old.

 

be carfull wiht thoes cigartett burns. i know guy who burnt and severed a tendon in his wrist by doing that. he was in physicle therapy for couple years after the operation to repair it.

 

yeah my friend brittany put out two cigarettes on her arm and now she has these huge disgusting boils on her arm. they were like third degree burns and the scars are disgusting. i still love her though =)

 

i cut myself of a pretty regular basis...and i do have that summertime problem...when you get tan the scars show up even more...eek...so i moved to cutting the tops of my legs and my lower abdomen area...places the public doesn't really see...it works out pretty well

 

i stopped cutting myself for a while but i recently got so angered that i now have a huge one up my calf. it's horrible and a bad habit of mine.

 

instead of switching spots to cover it up, how about just stopping? did that ever occur to anyone?

 

thats not so easy, inbloom. I mean, I personally havent dealt with the pressures, but my best friend has been trying to quit cutting for years now. She is just so stress and confused and unable to take care of herself that she breaks down and goes straight for the razor. I love her to death, but I know I cant stop her, the cutter need sto want to stop, you cant force it. It's like nicotine for most people.

 

its occured to me. i have pretty much stopped, but once in awhile i will just break down and go for it. its really hard not to, i know it sounds pathetic. and im pretty sure most people grow out of it.

 

i used to cut and it is a very bad habit and anyone who does it, needs to stop because it can lead to dire consequences, i was put in counseling and am on meds. and i got a light sentence. so it's nothing to brag about.

I used to be a cutter but I quit about a year ago, haven't since. I usually covered it up with cheap plastic bracelets, they usually did the job pretty well, although they chafed my cuts something awful. I also would wear long sleeved, but thin cotton button up shirts to cover up the scars if there were more than one.

I also ended up cutting on my hips and legs where no one would see.

 

I'm deciding to not share something painful and secretive with you because you seem to think its bragging so I'm deleting my thread. Thanks alot of the understanding.

 

if you are bragging about cutting yourself then...i think it's utter ignorance. because honestly it's nothing to brag about, it's a serious thing, that can lead to worse situations.

love.

totally agree. well said

 

i just cant even fathom ever hurting myself, like that. i've accidently cut myself before, slicing vegetables and shit. and fuck man, it just hurts. and then it feels all numb and shit. and i hate that. i hate when i don't have feeling in a certain part of my body. doesn't feel right.

i know it's probably not as easy to quit as it seems. nothing ever is. but i mean, it's hurting you. i just think that alone should be enough to stop people from doing it. but, then again, i've never been in that state of mind.
