Need Help WIth Cutting?

[ryanlewis22]

oh.. i see.. iknow what that is ..that is sad



silly me I thought it had to do with poetry.. hehe..



ps thanx for the still help though lol

[monkey5]

oh me too
towards the end when i was stopping it became stupid like i was cutting my hands because i could pull that off that i had just grazed myself or something... and it became for really stupid reasons like if i bit my nails when i was trying to grow them
it was like i was trying to make a problem so i could give myself an excuse to cut
does that make sense??

[monkey5]

like over two years
wasnt good

[monkey5]

it just occured to me that i acheived a lot of my years resolutions...
i had like 10
i stopped cutting
i stopped drinking
i lost weight (even if i did put it back on again)
i tried hard in school
i was more social

the only other one i remember was get a boyfriend who is non fat non user non ugly non russian which i didnt do and which proved summers threory that how you spend new years is the way you'll spend the rest of the year because im still single... but theres still a week to go... i might get lucky

a very very close friend of mine cuts herself sometimes, so i thought i'd write a poem about how that makes me feel. after all, i think that is something that is not really explored, the way you feel when someone you care about is self harming.

bleeding

my heart falls with you
and the wings of the fragile butterfly
tear, and it drops to the ground.
my tears seep from your wrists
bleeding harder than I could ever cry,
the current of a river of blood
carries your sadness to my heart.
i lie here, and try to want you gone.

HEY WELLDONE jc
WHAT A SWEET WRITE!

I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT FRIENDS HAVE FEELINGS TOO AND WHEN THEIR FRIEND COMES CLOSE TO DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT SCARES YOU HALF TO DEATH - I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW

THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT!

cutting isnt een a big deal anymore, i mean course real cuting is but hav u ever noticed these kids who cut their arm but roll their sleeves up and stuff
i hate that soo much

[monkey5]

yeah
its weird but cutting only really becomes a big deal when you start to keep it to yourself and you do it all sneakily

[cuthand]

it sounds so mean saying that.
but i guess its not so much saying people who do it openly dont matter its more worrying bout it seems to make them do it more

[monkey5]

i didnt really understand what you just said there...
but i will make a point
if you are like fussing about your weight and go on a diet to like only eat like 500 calories a day and then you tell people about it people will be shocked and probably try and make you eat
if you are keeping it to yourself and managing to mislead people in how much you are eating then you could be attempting something much worse and could end up getting 'addicted' to dieting and become annorexic or the like?? if that makes sense...
if you go on the proana/mia sights they give you all these tips about how to stop people knowing you have a disorder and then you become more at risk because if it really does get bad there is no one there to say stop and give you help....
im not sure if i got my point across there...

[cuthand]

yeah i just have issues wid the lil girls who roll there sleves up so u can c the cuts or write on their myspace i cut get over it its just silly

[monkey5]

im never with little people so i dont really know
but i know what you mean...

[cuthand]

so should we do summin like say how long since we did something self harm ish?

whats considered selfharm nowa days?
it hurts you to drink till you puke but is that self harm?

[monkey5]

if you are purposly making yourself drunk so you know youll be able to throw up than yeah, that would kinda count. If you do that continueously (you i know thats not how you spell it) then that would be more like borderline bulimia... or ednos, or something like that, i think its called ednos... but then i supposed that would only work if you were actually hoping to loose weight and couldnt stop yourself...
self harm would be cutting, burning, hitting, that sort of thing.

[linz1]

self harm is any sort of abuse or affliction you do to yourself
which would include making yourself throw up after bing eating (bulimia), cutting, burning yourself, giving yourself bruises, etc.
in my opinion, it's not something to be proud of. i certainly have had some of those things in my past and regret every second i spent doing it because of what it did not only to me but to my family
well there's my random rant x)
