ok I read about how you dont want to take that first cut or whatever but its not convincing me like the whole thing about "it will control you" take over your life" etc... It doesn't stop me or make me think twice I've wanted to do it for a couple days because I think it will feel good. Is this weird?

I dont really get what your saying in that. All i got was that you dont get that it will control you and take over your life..
Could you elaborate?

Look... it will control you. If you sdtart, get addicted, then some how stop, even years later you will get the urges to hurt yourslef. and it's not easy stopping either. It controls you, your life revolves around it, finding long sleeved tops for the summer, always petrified some one will find out... Please don't do it. __x

I don't think that it's going to feel good...it might help you vent for a while and you'll *think* you feel better. But then, think about this, what you're left with are scars and your emotions become even more out of control. Cutting isn't a way for you to deal with how your feeling. In the end, you start buying make up and clothes and stuff to hide your cuts. You might not think it's a big deal now, maybe because you're going through something tough and it's been hard to deal. But cutting just leaves you with even more problems and basically just messes with your head and your body.

think again. it DOES take over your life and im also talking from experience. i didnt think that it would have any affect on me either, but now that im trying to stop, i just cant. i think about it every day, and yes, its true that you can dream about it -- thats how much it takes over your life. i thought a lot like you before i started, but now i realise that what everybody says about how bad it is is completely true and all of that can happen. so please, trust everybody on here who's telling you that it's no good because it IS. and if you think about cutting again, find something else. i started writing and thought it was nice cuz it got rid of my stress, made me feel good, and gave me something to be proud of. its a lot better than scars that take forever to fade, and its better than lying and pretending like you didnt hurt yourself. sorry that was so long and i hope i helped

okay so now that i have time to wright a little more, here we go. Don't cut, it wont solve anything, me knowing from personal experiences. the reason i had cut was because it relaxed me and help me deal with stress, and even though it did do all of those things it wasn't right. it take control of everything you do. what you where, how you react to certain things, how you think, how you act, and how you talk to people. having to where sleeves all the time and maybe even a watch, jeans, not being able to wear a swim suit. it controls every little thing you do. i have been cut free for over a month now and i am starting to get urges to cut again and you have to fight them, and for me its not easy. so please do take that first cut, or if you already have get out wile your ahead. because by the end you wish you had. you will start to think that you can stop anytime you want, sorry to tell you but you cant. it takes more then just wanting to stop, it takes the strength to stop, but when it takes control of you you lose that strength you need. i really hope me saying all of this has helped you, you can PM me any time you want, I'm always willing to help....=]

i read all of that kinda stuff after i started, but i think that if someone had told me how serious it could be, i wouldn't have started... but thats just me + i dont know so im just asking, but are you sure that cutting will be the same as smoking? could addiction to cutting be different from smoking for you? i honestly dont know its just a question.
im here for you too if ever you need it...

Addictions are different for everyone. Like you said, you stopped smoking easily, but some people have a very hard time quitting. I, personally, had the exactly same thought the first time. I just wanted to feel better. People used cutting as a way to *control* their emotions and let out their pain and stress, so I decided I'd just do it for a little while until I was ok. I think that was one of the stupidest mistakes I've ever made.
Cutting, to me, is ten times worse than quitting things than smoking. It's not like your physically addicted to it really. It's an emotional thing, it's in your head. You NEED it because you've never learned how to control your emotions...and your emotions can be a very powerful and negative thing when you never learned how to cope. Instead, you learn to cut when you're upset.
I stopped for a while and thought it was easy...but the next time something really bad happened, I didn't know how to deal and I cut when I remembered it had helped me before. Afterwards, it's soo hard to stop. It's not like it was a daily addiction type of thing for me, it was kind of like whenever I was extremely upset. Cutting makes you depressed for hiding it, and eventually it makes you feel bad everyday and the slightest things tick you off, until you're cutting every single day when something small makes you depressed and sobbing.
I agree that not everyone would stop when reading posts like this. I read them and I ended up cutting...but then again, I didn't have anyone relating their experience to mine. Please...it's so much easier to just find some other way instead of cutting.
