Well, I was all watching real world today and this gurl named franki cuts herself. She was all crying and in another room and the cams werent in there but by the way she was crying I could tell she was cutting herself. Then like not two min. Later she admitted to cutting herself.

She cuts herself on her thighs like I do when i'm really upset. I havent cut in about a month now....I posted about doing it...I think it got erased...But this dude came on afterwards and was like all...Talking about how people mutilate themselves because of emotional distress and need profesional help..And I yelled at the tv.

Am I just crazy? El oh el...Im yelling at a television!

Haha not crazy! I used to always cut myself (until one day I went to far and cut too deep) but I havent since ive been preg (yay for me!) but I hate how people always say its "for attention" or "cry for help" cuz its not always the case. Tv's so stupid sometimes! I always find myself b**ching at commercials too haha!

Well I believe that people who mutilate themselves do need help ,even though they may not want to hear it. I went to therapy a while ago for my depression ,and at first I didn't want to admit it, but after a while I couldn't help but to realize the pain that I was feeling. I wouldn't say that I got cured ,but I don't get depressed anymore. So therapy is a good thing. But if you decide to get help, please don't tell anyone that you cut yourself b/c if you do the therapist will most definately get you locked up somewhere for a period of time. Just tell them that you need to talk to someone about the pain you are feeling inside. But if your hurting yourself has gotten to an extreme please tell whomever you have to.

I know it can be kind of stupid ,but it all depends on the therapist. I made one of mine cry hehe. Some of them are so dumb b/c they think that they know everything. But I found a great one, she was cool.

I dont agree that people do it for attention..They do it because its the only way that will make them feel good..Or atleast thats what they think. Meh. I dont agree with people cutting themselves though.

When I get really really mad at someone, or they hurt me in some way I hit myself. Punching my head. I can't stand actually hitting someone else, unless they hit me first, so I hit myself. It helps me calm down. I am trying to over come this though.

I used to cut my wrists, I have only done it twice since I been going out with kevin cuz alot of my depression went away, since I moved out my moms, and I left school... But I havent cut myself in over a year. I used to do it cuz I would get so angry at myself and it was almost like a form of disaplining myself, but kinda like cutting out the bad at the same time... I guess it was also kinda practice cuts, til I got the guts to actually do it to kill myself, and I would hope that one time I would accidently slice too deep and I would just slowly bleed to death in my bedroom. My mom found out about it and told my therapist I was seeing at the time because of my bad grades... She never really helped me, except to get on some drugs that I just started to abuse... I never got put away for cutting myself, and my therapist knew about it and would check my wrists when I went and would just talk to me about it, it would make me feel better talking about it and then she would talk to my mom about how they could make it better, like removing my verbaly abusive stepdad from the picture, or at least being able to make it so he couldnt even talk to me, and that I wouldnt get grounded for such long times and everything.

I used to cut myself(wrists), I did it basically because I was depressed and angry at everybody. Last time I did it was around christmas of 2003 I didnt know I was pregnant but I was. That was the last time I cut because I did it really bad and then I found out I was pregnant and promised ryan I would never do it again. So I stopped for my ryan and my daughters sake(shes almost here Smile...) I personally didnt do it for attention or anything like that I did it because I was angry and depressed.

I used to do it too. Cutting wrists and punching myself. I only punched myself once and it made such a huge bruise on my arm. There was a bruise there before that but still it was really big, maybe 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide it's been 2 years since adn I did it because of was mad at myself for something I did at school and I cut when I was upset about something. One time I cut because I was so mad at myself because I crashed the family car into a tree. All it did was bust out the back window and make a dent in the bumper but I felt like such a failure. I don't do it anymore, i'd get in trouble.

Mommabear, I think maybe next time you write a post like this you shouldnt be so rude to people who respond.

What you said to me was mean and out of line.

Think about that next time. I dont appreciate it at all when I did nothing to deserve it.
If you didnt want people to respond, then dont be dumb enough to make a damn post.
