don't feel sorry. remember, I've lived with those memories most of my life, and so I am used to it. I have a father, a step mother and a mother, if I had money I would buy something to kill myself or someone else so it's a good thing I don't have money. except from some details, my life is... well, fine would be an overstatement, but it's ok.

I guess it's going to be hard to keep the topic in the right direction, so just forget what I said earlier.
correction: I'd rather we didn't talk about me.

CCW okay, sorry again........... don't kill yourself. that's a tad extreme. I don't think there's ever a need for that... with my body issues or your bad past i don't think that's necessary

i cut myself because i get very angry to the point where sometimes i can hurt other people. and i dont want to do that, so i cut myself. and i also sometimes cant handle some situations and try to get advice from friends but even though they do make sense i tend to find reasons for why they dont make any sense so i start getting really mad and cry and i just get a knife and start cutting myself without really realizing that i did that until a little bit afterwards.

physical pain relieves mental anguish. If things in your life are causing you so much emotional pain, and mental anguish one might be in denial of the cause. The cut represents the pain, something to identify with.

I am a cutter, i do it for self release...i hate that i do it..but i get to a point where i cant stop myself. it doesnt hurt when you cut...your cutting becuz ur heart hurts beyond belief, beyond understanding...and for some reason a slice to the arm or leg feels good, releaves the horrible heart ache...

Cutting is a maladaptive coping mechanism. There are other ways to deal with negative emotion, and better ways to communicate.

Cutting is a maladaptive coping mechanism. There are other ways to deal with negative emotion, and better ways to communicate. Talking with others, self soothing, crying and letting yourself feel the emotional pain are much more effective because if you don't feel the pain, you will never feel better. When you cut, you are still internalizing everything. Emotions need to come out.*

I'm a freshman in college and have been cutting since I was a freshman in high school. I was abused both physically and emotionally pretty bad all through out my childhood, so the smallest things set me off now. Cutting is my release to that. It's basically just a way for me to release my anger out (on myself rather than on someone else). It works better than screaming for me; right after I cut I feel SO RELIEVED and tired, but often guilty after. Just the price we pay I guess.

i was cutting because at first it was a way for me to let out my emotions or get angry at myself and express anger that wasn't recognizable to the public. however, i just broke up with my girlfriend and it was even kind of my idea, but now that i don't have her i am going crazy. i do not cry usually, but today i couldn't control myself and my eyes are beyond puffy from sobbing for hours, and my legs are all cut up. and it feels good because its something that my head is focusing on rather than the heart ache. and its so weird, because until we were officially broken up, i was so sure that it is what i wanted. and now i can't explain it, i feel like i am dying without her being around.

i can understand how u feel. i almost divorced my husband. i was so self-reliance, was so sure that i can live without him. when the moment of truth came, both of us just can't do it. we went to court twice, and failed to proceed. now i know how both of us need each other. problem with bpd is that we (or atleast myself only) don't really fall in love with anyone. because i was never be sure of what i am and what i want. so i thought he never loved me and i don't care because i don't love him either. but, through the incident, i know that i actually care and he actually loves me. complicated..don't know how else to put this feeling in words...

Twocents, it's nice to know u r willing to give the world to make her happy. But just make sure u truly understand that she might be suffering from bpd or other disorders. So read more about this so that u will be well prepared of how she might think and how she might react. as a borderliner, i have hurt almost everybody around me in my life, intentionally and unintentionally. though everyday i am struggling to do the best to my loved ones and not to repeat my mistakes, but sometimes i just can't help feeling negative about everything around me. so just be aware, Twocents. good luck to u.
