Ive never cut before I just feel really stressed right now

You will just injure yourself. Please try not to do this. Is there any other way you can release this impluse? Alcohol or weed??

im smoking right now been smoking all day but just really wanna make myself feel pain for being so shite

 

[TheQ22]

I've never had this urge and cannot understand the desire to do it.

I agree though, if it's impulsive try and find an alternative release. Please.

Like @TheQ22 I have never had the desire to do this, and don't understand it.

No, if you have to ask this question it is definitely a no for you, okay...

It is a really really hard method to get right, like REALLY difficult!

It is close to a 100% rate of failure. 93% failure is I think it is?

The 7% who do succeed are generally going to be medical professionals. I think even for them, it takes a second attempt at this method for many of them before they finally get it right in most cases.

I've never had the urge to cut before, I have urge to harm myself but never cut

I jus feel like I need to and I'm so sad
Thanks for the advice, I'm still fighting the impulse

From what I heard, for this method to potentially work, you'd need to pretty much cut your own arm/head off…

 

[TheQ22]

This will sound like shit advice but from my experience - the more alcohol I drink or I guess the more you smoke, the worse I feel and the more depressed and shit I feel. Sleeping it off and trying a day or 2 with a clear head usually helps to re-ground me.

Hey, I am sorry you feel this way.

What brought you to this point today? Is it something you can share?

 

[Ghost2211]

I think getting the desire to cut is pretty common. It's accessible and sometimes inflicting pain feels good. Unless you really understand anatomy and have the proper tools (blood thinners) I would not recommend this. Cutting randomly into your arm won't kill you, but it will cause a lot of pain and scars.

Do you want to talk about what's making you feel so distressed?

 

[LivingDeadGirl]

I've been a "cutter" for 2 decades. I've tried so many methods to die like that, cut the right way, lay in a tub of water, use a bigger blade, etc. never came close to bleeding out and I cut very very deep. To me it's not the way to go unless you plan on hacking off your forearm with a butchers chopping knife.

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

ctb'ing that way would be extremely painful and wouldn't work unless you understand anatomy, like roseybird said.

as for self-harm, i wouldn't recommend it. it spirals into something awful, and by the time you realize you need to stop, it's extremely hard to.

should you give into the impulse, please at least make sure you clean what you're using and clean the wounds as well.
