I stop cutting for awhile then recently ,I
started up again I seem to suck at
relationships friendships. I push people
away from me and it just hurts so much
inside and i just want to cut so bad to
make the pain go away just even for a
little while. I have no one to talk to I
use to have this good friend but i push
him away i use to be able to talk to him
and now i am all alone. so if i don't talk
about the feelings then i seem to cut more
its been a long time since i wrote on here
i don't know why i did now just wanted to
i guess
Hey you are not alone in this world, and
if you think you are then I would be more
than happy to be your friend... even if it
is only online. I am going to PM you my
contact information and if you want, I
would be more than happy to talk to you
and be your friend.

treat cutting as any other addiction.
Addicts of all sorts drive people away.
Addicts need to be away from what tempts
them, atleast for a few years. That means
getting rid of everything that tempts you,
that you could practically use, even if
all you have left is your bed.
If you aren't ready to get rid of the
sharp objects. Next time you want to cut,
go to the dollor store and buy a teddy
bear and cut it. If you can't cut the
stuffed animal then wakeup and realize
that cutting does no good. Dealing with
your feelings in a destructive is just
silly.
Don't replace cutting with ice or a rubber
band, this is a temporary fix, it releases
the same endorphins into the brain as
cutting and lengthings the withdrawal
process. Because cutting is not a true
chemical addicition it shouldn't be
treated like cigarettes.
Excercize alot. I'm talking 1hr a day of
make your muscles sore cardio. It will
help clear the anxiety and the chemicals
your brain is giving off that causes
cutting desires.
Get a hobby. Painting, knitting, computer
programming (NOT COMPUTER GAMES),
volenteering, hiking are all good
cutting-relief.
Eat right. No corn syrup, it can increase
anxiety. No caffeine or white flour
(white flour becomes sugar in the blood)
these are two very huge anxiety offenders
that people don't realize.
Relationships are a two way street, they
are work. They aren't like on TV, which
many people expect. Truth is, without
even meeting you I can guarantee you are
average at relationships. Everyone has
their fears and doubts. Welcome to the
human race.
