Many people have told me in the past
i cut for attention. and now i'm starting to agree with them. i've been cutting a good four years, i started after i was raped by three guys in a park. everyone didn't believe me and so nothing was done about it many other things happened before and after that. i've read some people's issues on here and they seem so muh worse than mine. i feel pathetic for cutting, yet i don't seem to be able to stop. it is my release, and i don't see why people will understand that. i have a very large trust issue and i don't seem to be able to open up easily. only when i'm at my lowest or i'm being forced into it. i recently took an overdose, and again i've had no help since. i was released from hospital and sent home with nothing. i need people to help me, yet i can't ask for it. the words are there on the tip of my tongue yet they never seem to leave my mouth. which brings me back to my original point. maybe i am doing this for attention. __________________ The Razor In My Hand Is Covered In My Blood.

Hugs to you, if OK -- you sure have been through a lot. I'm really sorry you aren't getting any support IRL. We'll try to give it to you here. Keep posting.

Is cutting for attention I don’t think so. If someone want’s attention there are other easier, less painful ways to get it. In my case I started doing it to get rid of the numb state I put myself in. Something very similar happened to me when I was 12 I went numb to block out the pain and humiliation of it all, cutting was the only thing I found that made me feel alive inside. As for feeling pathetic, I wouldn’t. Everyone deals with what there going through in their own head. Your problems are just as valid as anyone else’s not better not worse.

(((((((((((((((sweet poison girl))))))))))))))))) There is no better or worse issues. There is just pain. Pain that you are having a hard time coping with. I am sorry that you have gone through so much and not recied the support you needed.
Maybe asking for help here will help you learn how to do the same IRL? You have taken the first step and you have posted. Awesome. I hope you can continue to do so. Welcome to PC! __________________  |

Maybe you are cutting because you need help and other attempts to ask for help have failed. Recognizing that, and explaining it to someone who can give you the help and treatment that you need and deserve, will be an important step for you.
Getting help or attention is every bit as legitimate a need as any other need. It's one of my reasons too, or at least has been.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
