Please don't cut yourself. Today is a really horrible day for me, and I'm struggling with the same urges as you. I understand how you're feeling, but cutting won't help. Let's promise each other not to hurt ourselves. I want us both to be safe. I care about you and I'm here for you should you need someone. Take care, J

It matters because people care about you, its not the most safest way of dealing with your feelings and your a better person than that...
Try to have a more positive attitude about it and you'll begin to see exactly what I'm talking about take care, babyg xXx

I struggle with this and have from the beginning. People ask me not to do it "for them" or "because when you hurt yourself, it hurts me."
Here's what I want to tell them. Maybe some of it resonates with you: You know what? It's not about you. It has nothing to do with hurting you. You aren't even on my radar screen. I don't understand why it bothers you, and honestly, I'm not really interested in figuring it out, because the only person involved in this behavior is ME. I want to hurt myself. Where the heck do YOU come into it? So yes, people are concerned, and yes, it's not exactly safe, or a terrific coping skill. But right now, it's YOUR feelings and YOUR way of coping. Hopefully you have a T helping you figure out some better ones. But in the meantime, cutting is NOT a moral failing.

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