-- Posted by akSamiRae at 5:16 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Emo, Cutter, Whatever you want to call it, But thats me, but when I do, or get really frustrated and want to cut, I am usually thinking about how angry I am with someone else, But I guess I hurt myself because I dont want to hurt other people... I dont know because naturaly I'm pretty violent. So I guess I'm woundering why In my mind I have to take my anger at other people out on myself. -- Posted by Catacomb at 5:17 am on Oct. 11, 2008 its to get attention thats why -- Posted by silverrose42 at 5:17 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Yeah, you do. -- Posted by cozysoxx at 5:18 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Its Natural. I Hate The Stereotype :Cutter: Because Its Most Deff. True That Everyone Has Their Own Problems And Very Different Lives So Why Catagorize Them Under one Thing? Thats What I Dont Get. Anyway. Just Try To Get Help. Talk To People. Thats What I Did. -- Posted by BlackCookie at 5:19 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Maybe it's because you can't hurt them. I don't actually know for sure. But I've slppe myself round the face, flicked elasic bands on my wrist... stuff like that, when I'm feeling angry with someone and also fustrated because I can't take it out on them. It has to come out somewhere. I think this is one of the reasons people cut themselves. -- Posted by Corrupted Innocence at 5:22 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Quote: from Catacomb at 1:17 pm on Oct. 11, 2008 its to get attention thats why I don't like they way you have stereotyped this problem, it's unfair to say everyone cuts because of attention. Some people do if for different reasons because we all have our own way of dealing with a situation. Something which I would like to mention to the OP is that possible try anger management because if you have obviously seen that something isn't quite right there then you need to get support to help you to deal with your anger in a more healthy way, without bringing harm upon yourself or others. -- Posted by Jadien at 5:28 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Quote: from aksamirae at 8:16 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Emo, Cutter, Whatever you want to call it, But thats me, but when I do, or get really frustrated and want to cut, I am usually thinking about how angry I am with someone else, But I guess I hurt myself because I dont want to hurt other people...

I'm not going to pretend I understand what's going on in your head, but let me lend you some insight. You're most likely cutting yourself because you're the only person you can control. You can control your own hurt, your own feelings. Everything. You can't control anyone else. You're taking out anger on yourself because you can't physically take it out on the person you're angry worth. Most times, when getting angry with someone, self mutilators "blame themselves" for the argument, and seek punishment. Cutting seems to be the only way they can deal with the stress of the argument, or whatever is bothering them. This is a website I found to help you better understand why you do what you do. Good luck. -- Posted by Fryz at 5:29 am on Oct. 11, 2008 When im angry i have a hole in my backyard that i dig it works. or i go on a work it sohuld neevr for a eprson coem to slitting wrist arms face etc. -- Posted by Catacomb at 6:01 am on Oct. 11, 2008 Quote: from emma19911 at 3:22 pm on Oct. 11, 2008 Quote: from Catacomb at 1:17 pm on Oct. 11, 2008 its to get attention thats why I don't like they way you have stereotyped this problem, it's unfair to say everyone cuts because of attention.
