View Full Version : Cutters/Burners?
Just wondering how many people here do it? Don't post if you don't want to admit to it.
No one needs to prove anything either, whether their life is utter horse sh*t or not, I'm just curious.

not to sound mean, but i'd like to say: and yours wasn't? :wth:
the person didn't ask "does anyone cut themselves with a metal blade in order to purposly hurt themselves?" no, they asked if anyone cut themselves and yes i have cut myself before but not on purpose

Well its pretty implied but what she meant, and that was a pretty ridiculous statement you made.
I do. Or did at least, I was gonna do it again but had second thoughts and stopped. I've been waiting for a person to come out with a thread like this, thank god someone did.
I cut myself, but my mom caught me once and she panicked. She then promised she would listen to me more, and pay attention. Then she dropped it and forgot, I became depressed again and cut. She caught me AGAIN and threatened to take me to a Phsyco Ward but she calmed down and allowed me to take counceling. Well..I never even went to counceling, she still yells at me. She make's promises and never keeps them, and if you had a Dad like mine you would go completly crazy. He makes racist comments I never agree with, he's against gay people, he hurts my best friends feelings, he never cares about MY feelings and he never notices, or even cares.
I hate my parents and I would definently consider cutting again but i'm too scared about that whole phsyco ward thing.....
Sorry, I know that was alot.....

Can we make a thread where all of the members of LPA tell us their problems? So we don't have 34 problem threads in the Serious Chat forum and that way it's all nice & clean.
It gets old after the 4th suicide/cutting topic, you know?

I made one kinda like that a long time ago called 'rants and raves' where you could yell about whatever made you angry.
But I guess one of the admins figured it was a more of a random thoughts thing so they merged my topic into 'random thoughts 2'. I dunno if that's the kind of thing your asking for but I made somthing kind of similar.
F-ck Casey
02-14-2004, 02:24 AM
well now that we have a Serious Chat thread, I think it's a good idea to make a "Problem Thread".
That way, no more threads dealing with suicide, drug abuse, self mutalation, etc.
You know, to clean up the forums a bit.

I think he means that alot of people on the LPA are complaining about their problems in alot of different threads. We should just merge them into a "Lets talk about how messed up our lives are" or something thread.

Ah, I see. I'll make it, I'd love too I don't make threads too often. That's if none of the Admins don't merge my thread again, either that or you could make it Casey. It was your idea anyways. ;)

Let me direct you to the SERIOUS PEOPLE ONLY part of the thread. This is for people who purposely do it as a form of self mutilation.
Either knock it the hell off or be warned or if it persists, banned. We do have a rule against having an IQ lower then Mark's shoe size and you seem to break that by having a blatant disregard for other's feelings.
an IQ smaller than Mark's shoe size lmfao. :lol:
sorry, didn't mean to be off topic. I'm serious again. :mellow:

Edit to you:
Not all people cut for attention I hope you know, the only ones that do it for the attention is those that show them off. So next time you make such a statement you'll be better detailed on whom is to show off and whom is to do it for actual relief of emotionl pain.
I, however, have not done it for attention regardless of what people think.
I've been a cutter for about four years now, and a burner as well.
Burnin consists of lighting a lighter (go figure), heating up the top of it and sinnging it into whatever body part the person feels. Or, litteraly burning full flesh with a flame.
Ways to know if someone is doing it for attention:
-Cuts on forearm and shows them off to everyone
---Pretends to "stratch" arm in the areas where the cuts have been made and makes sure people see the marks.
Ways to know that they aren't:
-You find out by way of gossip
-You actually know the person and caught them cutting themselves
-They don't flinch while cutting in DEEP
-The cuts on the wrist or vertical, not horizontal (suicidal people)
-The cuts are VERY deep
-They hide the cuts with long shirts and NEVER show them if hardly to anyone besides a really close friend.
-Cuts on the leg or other unvisible places.
I cut on the arm (in all places)
Burn on the hand
Cut on the legs
I've scars all about my left leg and arm, I'm not proud of them, and cutting is an addicition for those who've delt with it....
If I could, I'd stop right now from cutting but so much pain builds up in my life that I can hardly stand it anymore.
As Anya said, parents can be full of empty promises... unfortunatally... it's true. Choose your friends wisly because later on in life, that's the only real family you'll have.
I'm lucky enough to have a great dad, although he isn't what I'd call smart, but the guys rather intelligent. We may not agree on things, but yea... we have a great trust thingy going on.
Me and both my moms? Pah, that's a story all in it's own.
I'll tell you right now, Anya, you don't want to go to a pyscoward, it isn't a fun place to be.
Again, I don't do this sh*t to get attention, and I'll tell you what, I'm not one to get offended, but never say that again until you know what you're saying.
We're not babies, because at least we can take a hell of a lot more heat than you can. And kid, you've probably haven't even seen that SH*T of life yet...

i dunno... i mean i cut every other day, really. pretty bad. yeah i know i need to stop but you get really into it after a while. it only couses problems but it helps me 2. and i need to stop i know.
so where do you guys do it? arms?
i have only ever cut myself once, with a glass bottle on my arm, that was on purpous
and another time i rubbed a coin in the same line for about 10 minutes, then sprayed it with deoderant :lol:
i still have that scar :(

I've burned my arms numerous times, I've only cut myself twice, and they weren't that deep. My upper arms are scarred to wear it looks as if I had a 5-cm deep gash in it. Burns hurt...badly.
I haven't cut myself in about 2-3 months though, which is good. You CAN stop, you just have to pick yourself up.

Cutting is bad because it's unhealthy. The body isn't supposed to be injured all the time, and anyone who thinks its healthy isn't that smart.
It's about the worst thing you can do to your body besides burning, and thank god Danielle is realizing it enough to get help.

Burning is a new one...
I always cut myself. For the first month it was on purpose now it's a habit, everytime I feel depressed or lonley, I do it.
I don't regret it it.
The pain goes, or I go.
I contemplated cutting myself once when I was really, really depressed. I had the knife in my hand and had the blade pressed against my arm. But when I started pressing the blade into my skin, I couldn't do it. I can't stand pain. So instead, I wrote.
I've learned to overcome depression by writing lyrics... poems, songs, short stories. Most of those lyrics I never show anyone because they're more personal than anything else I post.
I've also learned that I have 60+ years ahead of me to deal with different things. I'm only 16 years old, and I don't need to scar myself up just because a girl doesn't like me or something.
That's just me, though.

That's just me, though.
thats exactly what I think/do

I've never admitted to cutting myself until now, I guess. I've cut myself before, but my cuts weren't deep enough to kill me. I still have the scars and no one around me knows about them because now they're basically gone. People continuously complain about me being so suicidal, but people don't understand that my life is no where near peachy, though that's usually why we cut in the first place. I've never cut or cried over a relationship or I didn't get something. It's always been something more. My problems had continued to grow since I was about nine or so, and it hit a peak about five months ago or longer to where I couldn't stand it anymore. When I did it, I didn't feel any different and I didn't even care if I had died right there and then. I think a lot of people think that we cut ourselves because we want attention (or so they have made me to believe) where they forget that we're not all emotionally the same and we all live different lives no matter the similarities.
Recently I'm still thinking about suicide, but I've yet to attempt to cut myself again on purpose :chemist:. Now days I just hit things really hard causing my fists to bleed.
i use to cut for about 3 years and recently started to throw up and punch walls (leaving bruises) to feel better. which means yeah i have and trying to get over an eating disorder. i only got over with A LOT of help from my boyfriend. he knocked a lot of sense into me. now slowly he's helping me stop throwing up.
why throw up? i don't know it just made me feel good. i felt happy because i felt like i was just getting all the bad stuff out plus no scars. but honestly this has been the biggest mistake of my life. it makes you feel good for a little while and then you're back to feeling all depressed. and after you realize what you're doing is wrong you have to try to stop which could take a long time. it took me maybe a year to stop cutting myself.

i have never cut or burned myself except for one serious occasion...
it was over the summer last year when my family and I were going to go camping. we were packing, and my dad asked me to bring up some things from the basement (bungy cords, rope, you know). well, in those contents was a filay(sp?) knife. when i was walking up the stairs, i stabbed myself in the foot with it. (i told everyone that the knife fell out of its case and landed on my foot)
if the knife had gone one milimeter deeper, my foot would have been amputated. that scared me a lot and i decided never to do that again. eventhough the cutting that you guys are refering to isn't as serious(i mean in a physical injury state) i dont want to do it anymore.
yes i know, i am crazy.... purposely stabbing myself.... almost losing a foot... but i was extremely depressed.

I do both cut and burn, or well did... I did alot of crazy #### the first time I cut my self was in school with the metal part of a eraser... and then I moved to razors and ####. I did my arms, wrists, neck, ect. I burned my self with lighters and #### I even got into a game where you put your arm up with someone elses and drop a cigarette in the middle and see who can last longer, I never lost...

Ways to know that they aren't:
-You find out by way of gossip
-You actually know the person and caught them cutting themselves
-They don't flinch while cutting in DEEP
-The cuts on the wrist or vertical, not horizontal (suicidal people)
-The cuts are VERY deep
-They hide the cuts with long shirts and NEVER show them if hardly to anyone besides a really close friend.
-Cuts on the leg or other unvisible places.
so when they are horizontal u just do it for attention.... right :rolleyes:
i have cut myself. but i haven't cut in 2 and a half months now, and im getting help. i'm just stupid that it had to go like this.
but for those who hurt themselves, i can not say you may not do it. but try and believe the people who say that 'someday things will be ok'. then you still have the scars to look at every day, and that is probably not that nice.
im sorry if this sounds really dumb... im not good at this, i know it isn't easy to stop... i'm sorry :(

I've been battling self-mutilation for the past 2 years of my life.
When I was 13, I went out with a guy who I figured would stick with me through thick and thin. Being with this guy began to affect my grades and my social life. He was a huge influence on me, but I was too blind to see it. I figured it was normal. He finally dumped me over MSN in April (but not before telling everyone on-line what his intentions were first). We had been together for only 3 months and when he asked if we could just be friends, I came undone. I thought it was the end of me, so I turned to cutting. I had read an article about cutting and DSH (Deliberate Self Harm) and I figured I would give it a shot. I slashed the tips of my finger with a razor. That first time I nearly passed out. It had given me such a rush, a pain to focus rather than the agony my ex-boyfriend had confined me to. I told a couple girlfriends about this new habit of mine. They all freaked and one in particular told her mother in fear I could seriously hurt myself. The mom informed the principal and he kept a close eye on me. Checking up on me every couple of weeks. Unfortunately, since the principal had this information he knew it was best that my mom was notified. I never wanted my parents involved, when my mom heard the news, she cried. She was at a loss on how to handle the situation, as was I.
In early June, I got back together with my ex-boyfriend. I thought we could really make it work this time. We failed to make things work again. The second time I was dating him I was stabbing and scratching myself with insulin needles. This lasted a month as my mom found a needle in my purse. I tried to commit suicide on an end of the year trip to Wonderland. I tried to overdose on medication.
I got through that summer safely, as far as I can remember. I began my transition from elementary school to high school in September. I adapted well on the outside, but the inside was a little different. I cut during the first few months of high school but moved onto smoking as a replacement. It did the job, but I would still cut myself the odd time. I was determined when I started high school I would find another guy to fawn over. Someone who could love me for me. I had a crush from English class in Gr. 9 and when I found out he liked 3 girls and I wasn't one of them I cut myself deeply, 3 times (one cut for each girl that wasn't me) I also began to carve drawings into my skin with safety pins. Cutting became a pattern and the whole idea felt sane to me.
I began going out with Neil in June when I was 14. I quit smoking for him and I told him all about my cutting. He stood by me and told me he'd do anything to help me through it. He wasn't home in August for a month. I had given up cutting for a couple of months. In August I began carving drawings into my skin again. That habit has stayed with me through Gr. 10. I used to have the word, numb scratched into my forearm. I used to get alot of questions about that one. Why the word numb? Why would you do that to your body? How come you burned yourself? (I did not burn it, I mearly dug into my arm with a safety pin) My self-mutilation was getting out of hand. I couldn't stop for Neil, no matter how hard I wanted to. My mom believed my depression and cutting habits were a phase. A week before Christmas, I tried to commit suicide once again. I slashed my entire body with a razor and took 5 of my mom's sleeping pills. The cold I felt when I was lying ontop of the sheets of my bed was almost surreal. Neil was so upset. He knew if I had taken one more pill, I probably wouldn't have lived to tell about it.
I had contacted a free counseling service in October with still no reply come January. I finally had a confrontation with my mom. I showed her my scars and my most recents cuts (an 'x' on my right hand and a gash on my right hip) She got the message and scheduled an appointment for me with a doctor. I visited that doctor about once every week. She listened and suggested options on how I could avoid harming myself. I knew she could only do so much. The rest I had to apply to myself to see it take an effect.
Although I have seen a doctor, I continue to threaten suicide and cut. This past Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I cut myself. Wednesday I was having an anxiety attack on the bus ride home and I picked at my right wrist with a safety pin. That ride home was extremely overwhelming, in my head it felt as though everyone was counting on me to make the right decision. Thursday, in my Careers class I scraped the side of my right wrist with a bobby pin. And Friday I slashed my right wrist with a razor before I went to school. Probably the worst part of Friday was the fact I was in such a good mood before I cut myself. I only wanted to cut my wrist because I liked the idea of having the marks and the rush when I used the razor. Almost as though it was necessary of me, cutting's my routine.
I've most likely cut, slash, scratch and torn every inch of my body (except for my neck) If anyone on this forums has thought of cutting their bodies as an option of a way out, don't act upon it. If you do it for long enough, it becomes something you cannot control on your own. Or even with the help of doctors and counselors. You have to find the motivation inside you to make ends meet. This Wednesday I'm meeting with my very own counselor. I guess I'll have to see how things work out.
PS- If anyone feels like they need someone to talk to about self-mutilation, I'm here. Don't hesistate, you have nothing to lose.

By inflicting physical pain, you forget about the emotional pain for a period of time.

I totally stand beside Will's comment on inflicting physical pain. It's painfully true (no pun intended :mellow:) Cutting was my escape from my emotional pain I was dwelling on. Unfortunately for me I don't need any pain from me or anyone else to harm myself. :(

My best friend friend cuts herself, she has been doing it for like, 3 years. I asked her why, but she doesn't know why, every time it's some other reason, she says. She has also cut herself, when a guy she liked (who didn't even know her) kissed some other girl, and well I got pretty mad and said she was stupid and stuff.. later she said the shouting had helped and would stop cutting herself but a week later she was doing it again..
In the beginning she liked to show me, but I said that, that made me 'depressed' (ofcourse not really depressed but pretty sad and mad).. Now she stopped telling me stuff and stopped showing me her cuts..
She cutts herself horizontal and vertical.. On her legs and arms, everywhere where she has skin..
But the problem of this is: I don't know how to react when she cutts herself.. I don't know what to say, where to look..
An other friend of mine had written/cut: HATE on her arm 2 years ago, you can still see it.. But I understand it for her, she has 'real' problems.. My other friend doesn't..
So this is my question for the people who cut theirselves: what should the people around you do?? How must they react, what must they say (I really want to help my best friend)
Well for me, I wanted to cut myself one time, but I felt to good to cut myself (owkee, that sounds stupid..) I didn't wanted to be like my friend, because when she cuts herself it doesn't just hurt her, but also her parents and me.. so I did'nt wanted to do that...

First thing I'd like to say before I get into my experience in all of this is that my therapist told me that people who cut aren't suicidal. And some people do it for attention, or to be overdramatic - like the communityes on greatestjournal or livejournal where people are like, "OH NO MY LYFE SUX! -posts pictures of cuts-" Those are the people who make the ones who have serious issues feel like utter crap because somebody is mocking what they do. I am not claiming that you all here who do this, are doing it for attention. Just realize that it doesn't mean you want to kill yourself.
I used to do what I call digging, which is when I would either use my fingernails and dig at my arms or I would use scissors, the edge of a plastic ruler or a protractor from those little sets we used to use in school. I have a three to four inch scar on my left forearm from it, which isn't really noticeable unless it's pointed out or I tan. I also have other little scars littered around both my arms from digging, also. I did it because I used to get so fustrated with myself and my emotions, so I'd sit there and dig myself. I haven't done it in about a year and it wasn't something I made a habit out of, but I just thought I'd share.
Cutting was something that has never appealed to me since lately. I had the urge to cut myself, so bad that I was actually in the bathroom with a razor blade in my hand. But I couldn't do it. Invisioning the feeling of it cutting my skin was enough for me, so I just tossed it back into the medcine cabnit and forgot about it. This has happened a few times, but that was the closest I've got to doing it. I hate the feeling of getting even a papercut. It sends shivers and coldchills down my spine. So whenever I get the urge to "give it a try" or whatever, I imagine how it felt to have a razor sharp knife slice my finger open from when I took Cooking and then I don't think o fit anymore.
And then my girlfriend whom I love so much, started to cut and do other things to harm herself and there was nothing I could do. Things are better now but for awhile there I was so scared and helpless. I nearly begged my Mom to help pay for her to fly here during Christmas so I'd know she was safe. Mom saw how upset I was and agreed, but her Mom had said no. So I talked to her, offered my e-mail, my phone number and everything until my fingers hurt from typing the same thing over and over.
We made it through and she has finally realized that the only person who can help her is herself, and that she needs to do some serious searching for some way to help herself. I offered so many times for her to move here and see a therapist here (that way her Mom has no concent in saying no) so she can finally get the help she seriously needs. But she's afraid. And I tell her, I don't want to lose her like I lost my Grandmother - the two people who understand me better than my own parents do.
I've even put my own serious problems aside to help her, which is a bad thing to do but she's imporant to me and I'd do anything for her. I even consider sh*t that's happened to me least important to hers because I can see her pain much more than I can see mine.
Anyway, I just want you to know that there's nothing wrong with getting help. I'm not going to say you have to - it took me 2 times until I finally decided to break down the walls and spill out how I felt. But it REALLY does help. I know from experience even talking doesn't COMPLETELY heal all wounds, and medication ISN'T really all that bad as people make it sound. I read up on it and I'm planning on taking that as my next step. But I know I need the therapy to get over everything. Seriously, once you let one flood gate open, the others seem much easier. It's okay to cry, and it's okay to finally let those burdens free. You'd feel so much lighter if you did.

Well i have attmepted to cut myself before. I cut my legs a few times before so it wasn't blindingly obvious to everyone. This was all like last year though and i went through a serious depression period in my life where i seemed to think nothing was going right atal and i used it as my last resort. I could never really draw blood from it though and i don't know why. It just hurt far too much before the blade sank in and i couldn't do it. I'm glad of it now though. I stopped that a while back because i realised it was stupid of me. I made up excuses to try and cut myself at times. I stopped it all because my friends were getting really p***d with me being all depressed all the time and i lost many of them but since i stopped i got them back.

I agree. If you guys cut or self mutilate, you don't have to tell the whole message board. I agree that talking about it can make people feel better, but for the other people who don't cut, it can be depressing. Yeah I know, just don't read the thread, right? Still, people should be able to look at alot of threads on here and not be totally depressed after one post

i think we're going to have a little arguement here. but i want to make one thing clear. for f*cks sake, nobody here wants to depress you little happy f*ckers. if you are offended/sad/whatever by this thread, why do you read it? i seriously dont get the human race. yeah now everybodys gonna jump on me for making this post. but i dont care. i love these forums. but thats not stopping me from saying what i feel like saying.
yeah i know what youre thinking. people who cut just want attention. some do, and theres nothing wrong with it. i dont have a problem with the people that want attention. i just give it to them so that theyre happy. but others do it because they just want to die. but no, people wont ever think of it this way. "oh, my friend cuts, what a stupid b*tch. she just wants attention. she just wants to be popular". THATS JUST BULSHIT AND GET OVER IT PEOPLE DONT DO IT FOR ATTENTION.
sorry for jumping on you like this. i dont mean to be that rude.
and stop reading this thread. thank you.

First off, read what you like. If you get depressed click to 'General' and you'll be fine :)
Second, why cutting? Why not buying a doll, some handglubs(??) and take the picture of your ex/dad/mom/whoeveryouhate and kick the #### out of it. I mean, isnt that better then having a chance to bleeding to dead? The doll will not feel pain, but you can releave some serious ass stress. Its hard for me to understand because i dont cut now, i just throw my teddybear to the wall and i'll be fine, so im sorry about that :mellow:

chris - i already like you man. i so agree with that.
and why cutting? thats a good question. i guess some people want to feel pain. watch the blood. i have this picture and underneath it says
"i CUT because i wanna make things BETTER". i think thats really good. it is hypocrisity or whatever, cos you aint making anything good by cutting, but it explains how you feel. i think its really good.

I suppose I can understand from your perspective, but their comment was a tad harsh.
You are right when you said that people should be able to read the threads and not be totally depressed after reading them. But they will always be one or two topics that will have a somewhat depressive side. And in my opinion, we're not telling the whole message board when we post. At least that wasn't my intention when I shared my story. I appreciate hearing other cutter's stories because I know I'm not alone and I can relate. I'm sorry if it's hard to swallow or the entire ordeal sounds so negative and depressing. But that's the way some things are.

I know. That's why I didn't bash the threads. I think it's good to have one or two for people to talk about their feelings, but just as long as the whole board doesn't become depression-ville like at the LPU.

i feel like b*tching about lpu right now. it sucks. but anyway i guess thats not being nice here so whatever. but yes, lpu is really depressed. and too many people come on it. it kind of brings you down. and they dont use any cheerful colors. but anyway.

some people can't forget about their problems that way so they have to cut. they believe that they'll stop thinking about their problem and they'll be thinking about the pain wherever they cut themsleves. and honestly this did help me for awhile until i realized how stupid it was becoming. since yeah it seem to make the problems go away but after the pain is gone your problems come back and you're all depressed again. it's like a drug...

yep, cutting is an addiction and i think thats the main problem. once you start doing it, you just want to do it more often and more deep and then its even harder to stop. its all a visious or whatever circle. i keep on making f*cking typing mistakes... how annoying...

I don't cut myself. I just punch myself in the face until it goes numb. And not from depression either. Just for entertainment. I also do it when I'm pissed off to relieve stress.
