yes, i have def felt that way before. pls, pls stay safe. get involved with something that makes you happy, something that makes you feel alive. dance, laugh, talk a walk, go outside. take care of yourself, ok

yeh i often feel that way. but you can get through it. Feel your heart listen to it beat it sounds silly but it works for me i listen to how fast it is racing and i know i am alive i am just feeling numb! Hang in there!!!

I know exactly what you mean, although most of the time i cut when im sad but sometimes i feel numb and not here and if i cut i feel pain and it reminds me im still alive.

its makes sense, you're not crazy *hugs*

i understand, shadowfairy. I've cut and burned for many reasons. I'm sorry that you are in the numb state, but if you can refocus on the positive things in your life it can help you. Are there people that you care about? Sometimes it helps me to think about alllll the consequences if I do take that step and start cutting again. I know it gets tiring sometimes, but well worth the effort though you cannot see it now. Please think, really think, my friend. Find the good and focus on that. It will help. You are a special, unique and valuable human being. ~hugs~

I can remember being 9 years old and emotionally dead. That was the first time I picked up my cutting tool. I so understand where you are coming from. For many years I cut only to feel alive, cutting in anger and during other emtional times came later. For me my #1 reason to cut is to feel alive, to prove to myself that yes I am really still here.

Good Luck
