Re: suicide question

We have a thread on this. I myself posted the response to that question no more than 4 posts before the most recent one. And since when is the point of cutting to die? I was never informed of this.

Re: suicide question

very few people cut themselves with an intention to die.

Re: suicide question

Lol they don't cut to kill themselves..I think it's something like it brings physical pain to take away the pain inside...Some shit like that.

I ain't never done it so I wouldn't know...Just what I gathered from others.

Re: suicide question

people do cut their legs, and their arms not just their wrist.

Re: suicide question

im a cutter and i do it more for the release then anything. it makes me relise that im still alive but at the same time numbs my emotions. i dont do it with the intent to die, in a way its the complete opposite. i do it to stop myself from killing myself. it helps me to stay alive and cope with the stuff that makes me cut.

People don't always cut on the wrists, that's just where people notice/find out about it the most. People cut on the legs, thighs, shoulders, upper arms, stomach, everywhere imaginable.

It's hard to understand cutting unless you're unfortunate enough to have been dumb enough to try it during a time of weakness.

I mean, for me, I cut for the first time when I was at an all time low. I lost everything, then I went through a breakup, and I couldn't control myself. You just feel numb at that point, so the statement "I cut to feel alive" isn't just an "Emo" saying, it's actually how it feels. You don't have any emotions left, you're totally destroyed, then you try anything to feel something. Drugs, alcohol, cutting, it's all the same thing. It's all disgusting.
