it isn't right but it's a way of coping. i don't think you can focus too hard on what's right and wrong, sometimes you just gotta let your feelings take over til you're strong enough to cope. can you say why you want to die?

i feel worthless

Why do you feel worthless? Why do you feel like dying? If cutting helps you stay alive then that is nothing to feel shame about.

i use to feel like you did not so long ago and i can only say what helped me 1 was this site the other was a great friend o mind all i can say is that you try and talk to sumone that is close to you or try talkin to sumone that you dnt no that well can work both ways its jst down to what works for you let me no if you wanna talk

Cutting is no more 'wrong' than someone over or under eating / binge drinking / taking drugs etc. The only difference being that you are identifying with your pain in a very physical way, however, once the pain sub-sides and the feeling of release has passed, more often then not regret will find it's way into your thoughts. It is merely a temporary solution. Try to identify why life has no appeal for you if you can and pherhaps, just pherhaps instead of sedating your life with self-harming, embrace it with both hands and say 'FUCK THIS!' I am not condemned to feel this way forever !- if you can at the very least recognise that things can change pherhaps your life is something to hang onto...

WHat do I know - sorry !!

cutting,picking....wanting to cut.....this has been my waay coping...is it right ......to me I think who cares.....nobody knows what I have to go through each day to stay alive! We do what we have to....remember your not alone with these thoughts....x

If cutting is keeping you alive, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, if you want to stop cutting, it will require searching inside of yourself and finding the reason that you feel worthless. If you want to talk, please massage me whenever you want to. I will listen!

Look, if cutting is what is keeping you alive, then right now it is someething you need, there is no shame in that! However, that doesn't mean you can't try to stop.. perhaps identifying why you cut would help... like what is it about it that keeps you doing it? the marks? the pain? the blood? etc... then find coping mechanisms that address those reasons!

no. If it keeps you going for the time being, thenthat's a good thing, but it's not a long term soloution.
I'm thinking about you xxx

no it isnt wrong... cutting is a coping mechanism. If it helps you from killing yourself...i see that as good, you aer still here... you have time to work on it still.

good luck nineteen. you are in my prayers.

i feel just like you baby. i don't know.

I know what you mean. I'm at a college where if it is discovered that I cut, I will be sent home. The thing is, there are better ways of coping. Cutting is only a temporary release and before you know it, you have to cut more and more. I personally cut because otherwise, I would kill myself. But it's more of a temporary fix for me so I can get through this school year. Over the summer, I'm going to see a psychologist because cutting doesn't fix things and I need to get things fixed.

If it's the only way to get you through for a short period of time, go with it but be careful. Know that it doesn't solve things. If you are going to keep cutting, think about doing something positive to correct whatever is causing you to have to cut.

keeps me going. SO no if it works for now until we find some "acceptable" way to cope I think what ever works if it does not harm any one else then so be it

I think that I am suicidal and dont want to admit it .. and that is why i cut. So i cant say if its wrong or right, but i know it keeps me here.
