Q: Cutting Myself Cause Life Is Hard.
asked by: Dark Angel on March 4th, 2007

I'm a 19 year old. I'm having a really bad couple of months. In November my fiance and I broke up after beening together for almost 4 years. Then my fiance started to date my best friend. That's when the cutting started up again. Then we got back together. And broke up again. Then I found out that I was pregnant. We were happy some what. I lost the baby at 3 in a half weeks. From there it was just cutting. We are working things out and thats great and all. But I cut myself all the time. He wants me to promise he that I won't cut myself anymore. I want to be able to promise he that but I don't want to lie to he. I go to a consuler but that only helps at that time. I was on anit-depression meds but I stopped them cause I hated the way I felt. Thats the only way that I know how to deal with my problems. I have a problem with not beening able to talk about my feels, so I keep them bottled up till I can't take it anymore.

I am the same way you are, i feel like there is no one i can talk to at times too, even my husband. i do talk more to my one friend i have here, rather then get upset and cut, my husband has threatened divorce if i cut wich ive done twice in germany and we are still together, so that didnt go to far. I would suggest trying different kinds of anti depressants, luckily the first one i was put on worked for me, my brother has panic attacks and depression, it took a long time to find amed that worked without nasty side effects, but now he has one that he is on and it works just fine, so it may take a while to find the right med for you. its good to knowyour seekin counseling, your bf or fiance whatever he is now lol . he should be more supportive and caring and needs to really understand abotu the cutting most people do not understand the mental part we go through when we cut etc. so id talk with him so he can better understand it and help you alot more.

Re:cutting Myself
Please go back to the doctor and get another medication. You cannot just stop taking medications like that, especially they way you are feeling. You are young yet, and life may get a lot harder, you need to learn how to cope with the ups and downs of life. Please seek help now before it is too late. I am 58 and I have been to hell and back, and I am still here. I'vw had an abortion(which I am not proud of), a miscarriage, my husband and I were homeless for a time(thank GOD our kids were off to college). I found out in 2000 that I have MS(and a slue of other medical problems). I even had PTSD for about a year, was on anti-depressants and counseling for a year. I am hanging in there with the help of friends, family and my FAITH. Please listen to your boyfriend. Take care and I will be thinking of you. Wink

Re: Cutting Myself Cause Life Is Hard.
Hi. Welcome to this forum. It's positive that you've came here and shared your problems. Don't you feel that this is helpful for you?

Relationships often have those bad aspects. Me and my boyfriend, for example, broke up last week, after about 3 years. I'm sure you can understand that as well as I can understand what you told us.
Losing a baby is a very painful situation, but you must understand that you still have the gift of giving life.

You don't need to cut yourself, because you can make things works without doing that. Making amends, making ends meet, whatever. You can do it, one step at a time.
Talking and getting a hobby are good things you should consider doing.

Cheers!

Re:
Hello, Michelle. Thanks for coming here and tell your story.
It's so important you've came here and told us your opinion, it's so grateful to hear someone who has already gone through one of these situations sharing their thoughts.
You're so right when you affirm that we can't please everyone. We are people, we are human beings, so, let's live one day at a time. Everyone can recover, I know that.

I have 100s of scars and marks from stitches. Every one of them reminds me of each episode, which was like every day. I still get the urge to cut myself and smear blood all over myself. And I know some people who happen to be reading this are thinking of doing this. It's okay. Just one step at a time. And you may take a step back sometimes. It's okay too. Just remember you have not lost everything. You have you. LOVE to all who's struggling with Cutting.


Good luck to you all, share your thoughts, ideas, feelings.
