I've been cutting myself for maybe 2 weeks now almost every night and can't stop. And don't say go to a doctor they can't do crap. The pain is just a hole in my heart. I simply can't not cut no matter what. Is this in any way normal??
Cutting is very addictive. If I were you, I'd stop as soon as possible before it gets even harder to quit. I cut for 3 years, quit 6 years ago (hardest thing I've ever done) and I still get the urge to do it. It freaking sucks.
I cut myself almost every night too. Only not when I have company. The pain is so sweet, but it hurts if you cut to deep. Yep I'm emo or goth, I've heard so many versions.

I have bad/ good advice it worked for me I work at a dog shelter so I just said the dogs scrached me. Get a jod at a shelter!
Dude get a dog that will fill any pain in anyones heart, I am still strugleing to stop cutting also but I haven't cut for a week yay new reccord. The pain is so good almost like candy...
I am also a cutter so I know how you feel. In my experience, it took me about 10 years to figure out why i cut and if i ever wanted to stop. To me it is normal just for the fact I dont understand emotions, I never understood how to feel a certain way. Like being angry is hard for me so I would cut. I dont know if this makes any sense to you, but I hope you understand why you cut and if you want to stop or not
iam also a cutter, to the people who arent cutters it isnt normal. But to people who are it seems kind of normal, comforting in a way. It's sad that we or maybe just me get comfort in this but i do. i know exactly how you're feeling and for the people who say stfu you need to be more understanding of us, you might have the happiest life ever and you might not get it but its somthing that we must do to only feel the pain of our cuts. I also only started two weeks or so ago and now i think of doing it every hour of the day. well if you ever want to discuss it further more you can comment me or somthing because i know how you feel.
Think of this, how will you explain the scars to your future kids? The scars fade but will never go away. It is not normal to hurt yourself, what you need is a different outlit. I cut for 5 years, I know the addiction, I finally quit because my bf said he would leave me, he couldn't watch me destroy myself. I'm happy I quit even though I still feel the craving, everyday I look at my scars and think god I was stupid how can I forget past pain when I had carved it into my body. Everyone will tell you to quit but really its up to you.
Yeah and I'm a cheerleader so everyone expects me to be all peppy and yeah.. And our practice wear and uniforms are super showy so I have to cut diff places than my wrists. I have to make everything look like an accident
Wow, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that. I am also a cutter, but I certainly don't do it every night! Just when I get REALLY upset. Something inside me snaps. One time I would have cut REALLY deep, but thankfully my cat stopped me. She came over, rubbed up against me, and that's when I burst into tears and put the knife away. She needs me, so how could I even think about killing myself? Ugh. But yes, I know how you feel, and it's not fun. I have ugly dark scars on my wrists now :(
I've already tried EVERYTHING. I mean I've tried it all. It's all just when I'm alone and awake for a few hours though. Idk what it is.
You need to give it a really good try if you seek specialist/counselling and make sure you are willing to try in the first place.
I know it seems like it's useless and there's nothing good at the moment but just try. You do say however that you've cut yourself for two weeks. So if this is the first time you've engaged in such behaviour you can't dismiss everything.
But tell your doctor absolutely everything that you are feeling/doing no matter how personal or bad. Either way I wish you luck and hope you find some peace.
Specialists can't help me it never works. My 'good trusted friends' either don't understand dont care or turned on me upon finding out
It's not normal behaviour and although you say doctors can't do crap they can refer you to specialists who can help you deal with the way you are feeling.
I know that it's an addiction but that's because when you cut yourself it releases endorphins, known as happy hormones and becomes a temporary band aid for emotional pain.
Try seeking help or even just talking to a trusted friend will help you.
