Mentalmama: You're not crazy, you may be traumatized, yes, but you love your kids and you are very devoted to your family, choosing to carry on for them. I'm sorry about your parents, and have you gone to see a professional or told many people about this? Blackballet: It does make sense... Is there anything distressing in your life or in the past that may have stirred this habit? I wish you all the best. |

| well put sar21... cutting is often done by ppl like me who don't like to talk about feelings and that sort of stuff, so it's a way to finally let those emotions go. it's wrong I know but some people find comfort in it, so I hope u understand a little better. | |

| weeza: Yes I have been in and out of therapy my entire life and I am a very open person. I am very sarcastic and use humor to handle almost everything. Shrinks really irratate me cause they typecast everyone and think that everyone needs meds. Like we are guinea pigs and not just people who are a litlle screwed up. | |

| I was abused when I was young and I didn't tell anyone because I thought it was my fault, I guess. After that I got depression really bad. I started cutting a year later. Since I couldn't bring myself to talk about what had happened, I started cutting as a release or some kind of comfort, is that sick? | |

mentalmama: You have a point... I have a friend who uses sarcasm and humor as a defense and coping mechanism (as well as cutting). Everyone thinks he's the biggest joker, carefree guy in the world. You're not alone. Hang in there. For your kids. For us. BlackBallet: It's not sick... It's a way to cope, a way to let it out. I hope it gets better. |

| I dont cut but i use to scratch the insides of my thighs with my fingernails. I did not want any one to know about it. IT made me feel real when i was feeling disconected... and it did feel good like someone eles was syaing like a rush like almost sexual feeling. I dont do it any more. But i frequently have rough sex, alot of spanking and scratching paddles and such. My husband likes the light spanking and i tell him its so light i can hardly feel any thing just to get him to smack harder. The reality is it hurts but at the same time makes me feel real so it then feels great.. i know its messed up but i dont feel like i truely exist sometimes and the pain makes me real. any one relate or am i just weird in my disorder too | |

BlackBallet: it's definitely not sick. sick is a point of view. I used to self harm because it helped me personally, physically and mentally. I haven't cut myself since last november because i realised that i can't keep doing this for the rest of my life, so i've found alternative ways to help myself when i'm feeling low, mainly talking to a close friend or listening to music to distract me and calm me down. I guess i'm lucky because i didnt have to see a therapist or take anti-d's, it was purely mind-over-matter for me, my point is i hope you'll realise that sometimes its not the best way to deal with things, try and challenge yourself not to do it :] Finally, congrats on making a week :] its hard. But keep going :] |

| i was able to stop cutting myself. the scars suck balls. i started amartial art. going outside and kicking the f--- out of a bag helps greatly. if u can listen to angry music if you can but i understand sometimes it doesnt do it or it isnt tantilising as cutting yourself. sometimes u just wnana do it cause u know its the best hting to do. | |

| I never did that to release my anger.Once my pet cat died and i wanted to feel the same pain,So i cut my nerve.Afterwards,whenever i see someone killing innocent animals or if i see my family is in trouble.i cut myself,and watch the blood.It makes me feel the same way. | |

| I tried listening to angry music, it actually worked good with me! Disturbed is a good band for that. Calming music works almost as good for me, like Enya, or Plumb. Going for a really, really long run until I'm practically falling over from exhaustion is good too lol | |

| I have been self-harming since I was very young...I cut myself sometimes, but mostly I punch and hit myself. I know, it sounds horrible, and it is, but it is such a release of tension and pressure. I think it was an accident like the7thwreck said at first when I was little, and I realized that it helped. Since I was never told it was wrong, I continued and unfortunately continue today to deal with anger, disgust, and hate towards myself. | |
