Today I realised my boyfriend doesn't love me. He says he does, but it is clear he does not. I feel worthless and like I want to die. I moved from my Mom's house to my Dad's for him... and I am just realising now that he does not love me.
I tried calling my mom (wasn't home)... I tried calling my best friend (didn't answer)... so I went into my room and I was shaking I was so angry. I grabbed a switch-blade and held it to my arm. I held it so tightly there is actually a mark from it... but something inside of me just couldn't go any further. I may not feel loved - but I think if I cut, and my family found out I would be unloved AND disowned... a part of me doesn't care... but I do not want to disappoint my mom.
I was just wondering... what does it feel like when you cut? Does it hurt? Or does it really realease all the pain? What should I do?
To cut or not to cut? THAT is the question...

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Okay now your questions. I feel like I'm less stressed and more relaxed. It does hurt sometimes while doing it or afterwards. Please don't even consider the option!! It's not worth it.
Here is some questions to keep in mind:
Do you want to think about how you are going to hide your marks? Do you want scars to look at in the future and see the time when you were hurting? Do you want to be continusly asked questions by people when they see the marks? Is life really so hard to hurt yourself?
I love you and care for you!
Please don't do anything! I'm here.

To answer your questions:
it feels like pain.
Yes it hurts.
No it doesn't release all the pain.
& You shouldn't cut yourself because it would bring unnecessary problems into your life - kind of like the questions rabbit brought up.
