Q: Cutting feels good

Okay so in order for you to fully understand why i did what i did i have to tell you a little story. So i usually walk home from school w/ my boyfriend, even though i am not officially allowed to date yet(i'm only fifteen). So we were walking and decided to take a little detour to make out as we always do. Well this one took a lot longer than usual because it gor very sexual but did not lead to intercourse. So then i pick up my phone and see that i have 22 missed calls and 7 text messages. All from my mom and dad. So i then call my father back and let him know i'm on my way. They are already angry so i tell my boyfriend to go home and i walk back to my house alone. When i arrive in the front door they slam it behind me, and my mom and dad rampage me screaming and yelling at me about how long it took and how they went looking for me. And so on. So when i finally get upstairs upset and tears pouring down my face, i go to take a shower. I get naked and look at myself in the mirror. I grab the razor blade off the counter and break the razor out of it. I cut myself three times and watch the blood trickle down my thigh. I stop crying because all of a sudden i get this rush of good feelings around me. I get into the shower and enjoy the stinging of the water on my fresh wounds. When i get out i tape my wounds so they won't bleed and wear sweats. This has happened twice since that day. I will probably cut later on tonight. I told my boyfriend but he just doesn't understand the extreme pressure i'm under at my house and i just need an outlet. I love him to death and i swore to him i would stop but i just can't. Its way harder than someone from an opposing point of view would think. I really need help because cutting is not what i really want to do. It just makes me feel so good and relaxed... Rolling Eyes

seems like i may be a bit late for the response but will post anyway,
You sound like you need to have a strong word with your parents, make it clear you want to discuss it with them without any of you raising your voices. You sound like you cut because you feel so trapped. If you tackle your parents head on in the most mature way (shouting makes it pointless)should hopefully treat you as an adult too, even if they dont they will respect you more once they have time to think cool down and think about their reaction. I expect they are worrying about the usual topics but i think they are scared that you are growing up, shielding you from life can only make you worse in my view tho. Whats the worse that can happen? they dont understand, you get shouted at a lot, you cry and you cut yourself again and jump in the shower which you would do if you didnt speak to them anyway.

Im 26 so im not exactly young anymore, Im sure your parents are not bad people but there is no rulebook to raise a teenager correctly, they are doing what they think is best for you, you need to let them know its suffocating you too much.

dont know if this is of any use to you anymore... but i've got the exact same thing as you.
im 16, and im in love with someone who cant make up their mind about the girl he wants. so far we've had a year long sexual relationship, and he's in love with two girls at once. however, he tells the world about his love for her, but not about his love for me, which i believe is stronger. on top of this, im under an intense amount of pressure from life in general. school is so difficult. im applying to colleges in less than a year and i need to pull up my grades. i am in several theatre productions and come home at 9 pm every night, leaving no time to do the things i need to. and, every evening i fight with my parents, leaving me hysterical and sobbing
cutting is a huge relief to me. the moment i feel the pain i feel so satisfied and happy, and then all the pain goes away. i love it.
however, i realize that i have a problem. and whether or not you face it or not, cutting one's own skin isn't normal. i suggest you talk to someone about it. just one or two people you can really trust (the best would be if they had experience with it)
i haven't cut in one month, and frequently feel like giving in. but so far life has been improving a little bit.
good luck
