what do you do when when you feel stranded??

[zci]

Hey. please everyone,.. bc I didn't know where to put this... when I feel bad, I sometimes cut...it sounds crazy out there, but it is such as relief...what do you guys do if you feel alone and not understood?? Please, girls, bc, either I b/p or cut and it is not fun, I know we are all in the same boat, so, please, any tips??

I know what you're going through, girl
There's this thing i sometimes do... i think it's weird, but it might just be one of those things everyone secretly does, right?

every time i'm feeling like that, instead of cutting myself somewhere visible i just carve off little pieces of skin and flesh from my inner thighs. I mean, it hurts at first but it's sort of like waxing, you grow into it.
I'm never going to want to have sex so nobody is likely to see those scars, and like, in time it's an extra pound or two which i take off without even having to purge!

Seriously, it's not bad at all and i think you might consider the advantages since you've already gone to the cutting bit. It's not that big a distance!

well...the best idea would be to try to cut mildly or in moderation [don't believe them anorexics, eating is not like cutting], you know, give you a bit of painly relief, but not as much so that everyone around you sees it.

@sparkly: you could consider first time sex as a cutting in itself, you know...

@ageless

no way, i'd give out a lot less blood than i'd be taking in... other fluids.
If it's not ergonomic, don't do it!

[ageless_stranger]

dearest sparkly, as you might know if you went to an afterschool special in your life, those fluids can usually be retained...if you`re not talking about saliva, at least.

i presume you`re also a bit low on weight, otherwise that flesh would fall off anyway by rubbing against itself ;)

thx guys...I am just already scared of my cutting episodes, so I will try to stop...eventhough I see the point...and I am also trying to stop myself from cutting deap but mostly I go vigorously at it and cant stop myself to think first....I am just starting again to wear what I like, rather than longsleeves...after like 5 weeks...:-(

I know exactly how you feel!!If I feel like I have eaten to much, and am not aloud to exercise, or am driving and wont get home fast enough to get rid of it, I just find myself cutting my hip bones, they have a ton of scars, but I get the same feeling when I cut them that I do after I've purged.

I look at myself & feel gross, then I binge, then I feel grosser, then I wish I was dead, then I sleep.

I can relate in so many ways...to all comments...I just feel there is this breaking point, like just now, I was hanging out w friends, all guys,... and they/ we chatted, talked, had fun..but I feel I put on this happy face...inside, there is so much more going on...and right now, I dont know what to do...I am at my computer know, but...I really have this urge of stuffing myself or cutting...:-( why the hell does this world out there NOT GET IT??? I like I am breaking side...

Zci sounds tough what's goin on in your head :(. I hope you stop cuttin yourself tho. bodies are beautiful no matter what size they are and deserve respect.. plus you don't want to get scars? I have scars from stretch marks and I hate them. I also have scars on my legs because I do the oddest thing ever- squeeze the ingrown hairs out of them. I know it's absolutely disgustin and vile and... eugh. sorry I told you. I became addicted to it and then did it every night and it was like cuttin myself in a sense because I have horrible bruisin from it and quite deep cuts. I always say I'll let them heal but it's been like a year now and I can't wear skirts or dresses. wtf is wrong with me?

but the fact that you cut to release emotion isn't good. I always find goin for long walks helps. also try gettin into some sort of hobby?anythin to keep yourself busy

Thats really bad. Whenever i used to feel bad id go straight to the bathroom, sit down and just cut myself. Seeing the blood used to make me feel better, like even though nothing else is right in my life, when i cut i still bleed, it was like the only normality to me (i know that sounds reli fucked up)

I dont do it anymore though sometimes the urge is completely overwhelming. To stop myself i just go straight to bed and hide under the covers and cry until i feel a bit better and just completely focus on the pain to the point where i want the earth to swallow me up, i know it sounds weird but that way it passes quicker. Iv also sort of moved onto Mia so cutting my body up is just going against everything im trying to accomplish. Its not a good reason to stop cutting but its better than nothing i suppose, i wouldnt recconmend it to anyone though its so bad for you.

I hope you feel ok :(
