News of Cutting and Self Injury Forum

My name is Tina. I'm 21 and this is my first post. I've been c*tting since I was about 13. I was abused pretty badly when I was little, and just started to hate myself and began to think that I deserve the pain. I feel guilty when I'm not in pain. I always want to be alone. I screw up every relationship because they find out I'm a freak and I scare everyone away. ...

Am I alone here or are there other people who enjoy their cutting because it keeps me alive. I was talking to a freind and I told him I hid razor blades in my room, he said I should throw them away. I told him i didnt want to. He said I should tell someone where they are so that they can remove them. I didn't want to. They give me security and the freedom ...

Hi there,

I don´t really regard myself as a cutter but mabye I just have not realised it just yet. I guess I think I need to be a frequent qutter or like I have to qualify for it like there would be some sort of demands on you to be called a cutter, or someone who SI:s. But feeling the urge should be enough right? I do and I try to resist and mostly ...

Hey,
Well, I started to *C* and *SI* when I was in 6th grade. It continued on and off after that, up until about a month ago, which was the last time that I *C*. I finally got the guts to tell an adult that I *C*. I told my youth group leader, but I couldn't tell him face to face, so I wrote a story and had a friend give it to him because ...

Do you guys remember like the day and the reason when you started cutting? What made you think of cutting and not something else?

Curious.

hey i'm scarlet. i started cutting a year or so ago. at first on my arm, but then once my parents found out all they had to look out for was wearing a jacket, so i switched to my leg. i do mine in piriods. i do it once a week for a couple of weeks and then i stop. i'm getting tired of hiding my legs. i havn't been swimming in forever. there's more ...

I used to find myself with overwhelming urges to cut myself and I did so. The thing is I would cut demon faces and "satanic" symbology, i.e. Pentegrams, baphomet, the number 666. My point being that I wonder if any of you had the samed themed cutting impluses/desires.

I also enjoyed burning myself in the same symbology. You can make a lot of shapes with bent paper clips.

I refrain at this point from doing ...

i like to bite all around my nails until they bleed, and then dip my nails in substances such as vinegar or nail varnish remover, the initial sting gives me about a 5 second high and then the after sting is punishment, i do the same thing with my lip - biting it and then putting salt, or vinegar on it.

I've been cutting for quite some time now, just how long I don't remember, but it's been LONG over several months. So...

I told my "best" friend that I was a cutter about two weeks ago. For an entire week she didn't even talk to me, and when I finally talked to her again we got into this huge fight and basically she said that's all she sees when she looks at me now and ...

Ive been cutting myself daily. Yesterday morning I sliced the hell out of my lower legs. I can't even begin to count the cuts. I have cuts in other places I don't even remembering making I want to stop, but I like it so much.
