Self Mutilation

I've just gotten somewhat out of a relationship and have had urges to cut myself (some of which I have followed through on, the cross on my hand is proof enough of that) Does anyone else get these urges? I've drawn the blades, needles, and whatever other sharp objects over my hand and face repeatively, permanently scarring my hand with a cross and a streak across my eye.
Do you think it's normal?

OUCH!You shouldn't be doing that.I haven't ever lost a person that I love,but I do also harm myself
sometimes because of my severe depression.You should go get some help.Tell someone how you feel,seriously!
You are not alone.I don't know if you are depressed or not but you should tell someone that you are cutting
yourself.You WILL feel better,trust me!

Can't have a mental breakdown if you have no sanity left for it to break, I can't eat, sleep, or concentrate, all I ever do is think about her and it's driving me to the brink of suicide.
listen im an emo (weird but true) and i cut myself, but (from past experiance) it can do serious damage to your looks and how you feel i was in hospital for about 5 months recovering from 1 slip of a knife i had cut an artery the pain caused me to go mental im all beter now but the mediacal bills were sky high, get help now before its too late!

EMO SUCKS!
who cares if your an emo narnar
not only 'emos' cut themselves you know
and also emos only do it to fit in with all the other emos because they think its cool. an most of them do it for attention
an to the person who wrote this i think you should definately tell someone about it. soon. before it gets really bad
You don't feel the NEED to cut yourself.. you see it on TV and this became the reaction to anything displeasing to you. Don't believe that, then you know best. Like I've said time and time again, isn't the target for cutting oneself suicide? It's all about efficiency. Get it over with quicker. You don't like suffering with your boyfriend, then why suffer now from yourself? Either cut it the fuck out (no pun intended) or run into a highway blindfolded.
i still cut sometimes for any reason maybe cause im sensitive. but you should talk to a counselor ive been through many and psychiatric hospitals which helped alot you should get it soon or you may go to far.
Best luck, chloe
I cut myself for around 3 or 4 years For me is was disassociating* myself with the problem :X if its the girl who makes you feel like that then :X kill her in her sleep if its a constant feeling the you should probally either just sit down and focus on the problem or go to therapy :P hope that helps :X

ps. i have the coolest swastika carved in my Arm rofl that was retarded just stop dude cause cutting will come back to haunt you :x atleast it did for me :P
when you cut endorphans are relased in to your blood steam. endorphans make you happy and take away pain (this includs mental pain). you become addicted to these endorphans and want more creating a addiction

i suffer from the same thing
i want to know is why do you guys do this stuff. Get out more do stuff, stop worrying so much... go to college, go to the supermarket, go fuck a hooker..DO SOMETHING!!

But really see a doctor...

emos that cut because they are emo are retards. No, not just retards... disgusting superficial, conformist retards.
oh baby dont do that to yourself
no guy is worth it just remember that i know how much a guy can hurt you and trust me non of them are worth you doing that to yourself
if you ever need to talk private message me in the chat room
The kind of mentality that you are displaying here is exactly what someone depressed and/or emotionally disturbed does not need to see. It will only push them that much further into actually attempting something. Generally speaking, cutting is suppost to temporarily make the person doing the action focus on the pain they are experiencing rather than the emotions that are running through their head. My advice to the cutter in this situation is to focus your attention on something positive and eventually the pain will get less and less. I'm not saying it will ever go away but at least it won't be as prevelant as it was to begin with.
You do not need to do that.
When I was fourteen I was in a relationship with a guy who was seveteen and he was older and ready for things I wasn't ready for and he abusive and made me feel like I was completely worthless and I resorted to self mutalation because I honestly believed that everything that happened was my fault and I deserved to punish myself, and it made me feel better which in itself is twisted.

First you need to realize that you are not worthless, that you are an amazing person with your whole life ahead of you and that you do not need to hurt yourself over this guy. You will find someone else, that i am sure of but you need to live your life for you and not other people. Hurting youself might give you some form on instant gratification that only other people who have done it will understand but it's not worth it. You need to find something else to channel your negative energy. I found that mine was writing and when I got to high school I took journalism and creative writing and ap english classes and now I think I've found what I want to do in life, so my adive to you is to find that thing and go with it and your life will be much better. Keep your head up and talk to people you trust, talking helps as well.
GO cut yourself, you stupid fucking emo and masturbate while DOING IT!! YAYYY i love emo's.... sexually
