Cutting...

[claire.marie]

I cut myself 5 times this morning... scared the shit out of my boyfriend... i have no idea why i did it either...

but the scary part is...
i liked it... it felt good...

i spent all day with a safety pin to my wrist, so tempted... but i made him a promise.. i want to break it but i can't...

Don't do it. There's a reason that your boyfriend is concerned about you. You should try talking to him. Vent whatever is making you feel bad. Whatever made you feel like you needed to cut yourself. And, while I know it's not something anyone wants to admit, you need professional help. I would suggest talking to someone.

He cares about you. I don't recommend cutting out of having friends that did it, and they regret it to this day. Other than that, talking to your boyfriend is one of the best options. Learn to release the pain in a different fashion if your not into talking through things.

Is this the first time you've cut?
Do you know what triggered you to do this?

[Shreyas]

Don't do it again, I have seen regretting it later. It does nothing good just harms you. You can do various aothers things to let your anger, depression out, check them here.

Cutting may feel like it gives you relief, but in actuality, it doesn't. The relief is temporary, and it's replaced almost immediately by worries: Will someone see the scabs? the scars? What will they think? say? do?

There are other ways to get things out of your system. Talk to someone who cares about you, like your boyfriend, your parents, your guidance counselor, a teacher, or your siblings. Talking as someone who has cut in the past, it doesn't make things better, only worse. Do you have a therapist? Some people think they're worthless, but honestly, they can help you a LOT. If you find one who understands you, things CAN be helped. Talk to your parents about seeing one; they love you and wouldn't want to see you hurting.

the feel good part comes from your brain releasing chemicals. endorphins i think. i'm not totally sure, but that's what i was told.

believe me i've been there before, if this was your first time then please don't do it again cause when i decided to quit when i use to cut, i suddenly realized i couldn't. for me it became that i didn't even care that i felt good, it was just a habit and i wanted to feel the pain and see myself bleed.

Don't harm yourself like that, there are other ways to solve your problems, think of the harm your are doing to your body and how you are hurting your boyfriend.
