Do you ever feel like the people who are trying to help you just don't get how you feel? I know sometimes I just want to tell my therapist that she doesn't get it because she's never been through what i'm going through. That's not to say she's not helpful, because she is, I just feel like people think they understand si when they really don't.

I know exactly how you feel. My mom always wants to talk about it and she thinks she is helping when she trys to give me advise. Not saying that her advise isn't good but sometimes I'm just like "what would you know, you have never felt the way I do". I just like that she doesn't judge me.

I know how you feel. I tried to tell my friend that I cut and why i did it they just yell at me. They tell me that I should have known better than to resort to cutting. I dont cut anymore but i still know what it is like to not have people understand how you feel.

I feel the same way. They might have been to college to get their degree but have they ever hated themselves and or their life that they were willing to mutilate or kill themselves.....I don't think so.
That's the problem, they DON"T understand. And it fucks me off when people call cutters attention seekers. No one but us gets it. NO ONE. I know i cut cos i want to get all the pain and anger out. When i see the blood coming out i feel like some of the hurt is leaving me. Sometimes talking doesn't help. I know that in the long run cutting only harms you. I just wish others could walk a day in our shoes. So i feel your pain.

I know I hate it when people try to talk about something they haven't been through. they just don't have the perspective to really understand what's going on. They can't comprehend the stuff that you face every single day. hugs, I know it's frustrating.

I'm really glad i found this site. I don't know anyone else who has problems like mine. It's good to know there are people out there who know how hard life really can be.

Thanks guys, this makes me feel a lot better and I think sites like this are important because in the end the only people who truly understand the way we feel are people with the same problems.
