Does anyone else scratch?

[Vash_the_Stampede]

I agree 100% Matt #2(LOL), I think it is a stupid, regretfull way to solve problems. Seriously, there are people willing to listen, not nessicarly(?) shrinks, but friends most of the time who would probably be more than happy to help if it means a lower chance of losing someone. To anyone who does this, cut or scratch, Iam not nessicarrly(?) calling you stupid, but I truly think you are making the wrong decisions.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

I have only scratched once, I had no control of what I was doing cos my emotions got in the way and clouded any thoughts of stopping...Luckely I stopped myself before they became deep.

 

<<Edit>>

 

And, all you who come in here and say all this crap about "blah its so fucking pointless your a retard", shouldn't be posting in threads like these. It doesn't help those who are scratching of cutting in anyway...Makes them feel worse about themselves. These people are talking about it..here and now...getting it out of their minds, finding someone who can share what they have been though. We all know its not the right thing to do, but sometimes you can't help yourselves...if you don't understand this then don't come in here and bag people out.

 

ohh and Vash its necessarily

okay, going to defend my point for a first... but i feel i have to....

Rusu, i am trying to help them, by telling them its pointless to cut, or scratch, it just hurts urself more in the long run. Alot of people cut to get attention, that i am sure of. I know alot of people are different and cant handle things as will as other, but cutting or scratching IS pointless. i mean cutting was silly in the first place but now scratching.....whats next biting?, come on.... well i prob just made everyone hate me, oh well....

[Mike Shinodas Gurl]

Wow, I definatly have to agree with Minzara. Cutting and Scratching and all those other things is pointless....You just hurt yourself more.

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Ok, I'm going to say this once.

I never meant any harm to anyone in my last post.

Rusu, I do understand that they are talking about it here, but, I'm positive that this is'nt the best place to come out with it. You know there are some jerks here(No names) & we do get flamers once & a while, so, I am just saying, there are better places. I personally do not want to see anyone hurt themselves, or get hurt for that matter. I am sorry if what I said or say hurts anybody, that is not my goal in posting here. I am asking everyone that does do it, cut or scratch or whatever, to please stop now. It will only get worse with time. If anyone needs anybody to talk to, I am willing to listen on non-biased conditions.

lpunderground here- that name isnt letting me log in so this will be my new name till i can fix it or something. my friend used to cut and before that she said she scratched and it led to cutting but it feel like its the only thing i can control. some people sont know what its like(that wasnt supposed to sound rude or anything.)

[twilightcrimson7]

lmao.... I see both sides to this...and I refuse to get pissed over someones opinion...

I believed that yes, its the wrong decision to make, but lets face it *laugh* I'm fucked up, I seriosuly feel like a masochist sometimes.... and I'm definatly not a perfect human being....I'm not even trying to be! screw that... I want to be practical...logical..but I can't always be that...I still have emotions, and they get in the way of my judgement alot, like rusu said. I've been stopping myself alot lately, for reasons I'm not even sure of. but the point is, everyone has thier own reasons, and intentions, I'm not going to group everyone together and suggest a cure, at least not in this situation, becuase I know each person has a different mind, and unless you have an inside look at it, no one can cure themselves but them. so yeah...thats my 2 cents.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

Ok peeps, I agree 100% that cutting and scratching is pointless...but sometimes it can't be controlled. I know there are those who are posers, doing it for attention, those people need a life seriously. The ones who do it with reason (and yes, even with a reason, cutting and scratching is pointless) should be shown some consoleing...rather than a "don't do it, its stupid". Ofcourse it should be stopped, ofcourse we should talk or see someone about our problems, ofcourse, but sometimes its hard to just come out and say what is the matter, sometimes its hard to stop doing it. All the non-posers who have cut or scratched, have had proper reasons. I urge those who cut and scratch to stop aswell...but, just by saying this, it still might not have an effect when a stressful/depressful/angerfilled moment comes to pass...

 

Ok, I really hope this doesn't start a fight..because it wasnt intended to...I'm just trying to explain what I think...sorry if it doesn't make sence

What happend to just smoking a ciggeret

[Frominsidegirl]

It got bad publicity on tv.

[misery]

What happend to just smoking a ciggeret

Or getting piss-drunk

[Treeves056]

Or getting piss-drunk

You must be a genius because that was the best thing I've heard all week :thumbsup:

 

It got bad publicity on tv.

 

LMAO...True

[Frominsidegirl]

wow well i think drinking and smoking lots of kids already do it so it doesnt have the same effect its not such a big deal among teens anymore.its like an everyday thing to get drunk.

[Minzara]

well Treeves and Misery... getting piss drunk and smoking isnt all that good or healthy either, but atleast its better then cutting or scratching lol :thumbsup:

[acdcrules04]

idk... i've never cut (like i said before) but i have scratched (i said that before too) but it kinda starts on a sub-concious level. i'll get upset and i will just find myself scratching wherever. i usally stop once i realize what i'm doing because i know that its bad for me... i mean for god's sake i watched cutting and other selfharms destroy my sisters life... its horrible, and minzara and vash are so right, there are people out there willing to listen... i'm a very good listener, just hit me up sometime... i listened to my sister a lot, i think i knew her better than anyone else ever did... but truly knowing her was hard, she kept a lot hiden, i dont' thing she even understood herself... and keeping all of the emotion hidden is what ruined her life

[LPGotLinkinPark]

I don't like scratch myself to realive stress or whatever, but I do scratch to the point of bleeding. I had dry skin as a child, but now I even scratch when it doesn't feel dry, it's just a happen I think. I scratch at wounds and stuff too, that's why they always scar. It's really bad because I have scratches on me and scars from things as simple as bug bites. Bad habit, that's all.

[Treeves056]

Well thats normal were talking about "What should I do" Glances over to the sharp razor blade then to finger nails, type thing.I always scratch my head and nervously laugh when I'm caught fucking up or somthing.

[Frominsidegirl]

well to anyone who doesnt think cutting/scratching/burning is right have you ever had a bad habit and you just couldnt stop? i would snap the rubber band on my wrist but my friend found out about that and she flipped out. so that option went out the window after i did it. so scratching is my release as writting is but its like people say they just want to feel anything that isnt numb.

[Minzara]

cutting/scratching/burning............ and rubberbands... i mean come on, i just feel so stupid doing any of these, there is sooooooooooo many better less harmful things for yourself.... dont know how harmful rubberbands can be... but i mean.... ugh... i dont think my words are going to reach anyone... I give up....

[LPGotLinkinPark]

Well I do it to the point of bleeding and scarring, so I guess it's bad. lol But I stopped cutting and like when you get nervous, if you scratch yourself really hard it's a lot the same.

[Treeves056]

There are so many non-Self-MUTILATION things to do.

 

Theres Running,Swiming,Video Games (A personal Fav unless you keep on dying),Smoking,Porn,Cleaning,Music,Fighting, Confronting the motherfucker who made you feel that way and so much more

[LPGotLinkinPark]

Well for me I can't confront anyone or anything because there's not a specific thing that makes me feel sad or anything. It's just like all in my head. I cause the problems.....at least that's the way I see it. There may be certain people that piss me off, but it's only because of something I did in the first place........and also, how are smoking or drinking any better??

[Treeves056]

Because...This is What happends when you smoke that GRADE A HERB!

 

* mood lift

* relaxation, stress reduction

* creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily

* increased appreciation of music. More aware of, deeper connection to music.

* increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell)

* change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection.

* pain relief (headaches, cramps)

* reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this)

* boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny
