Cutting myself
Posted by Anonymous in Confused on May 31st, 2010 | 9 commentsI feel terrible about what I’ve done. I’m a 15 year old girl, and for a short period of time I was extreamly depressed. Things were not going well for me at all. And I actually resourced to cutting myself. I don’t know why I thought this would help me, but I did it afew times. The thing is… once you cut yourself the first time, it’s easier to do it again. Eventually I realized on my own, that this was not the answer, and I stopped. I used a perforated kitchen knife. I still have scares on my left wrist. I did it once more months later, but got caught, I feel horrible. I hope you won’t judge me too harshly, and I just wanted to know if God can forgive me for this. Does He forgive me? :(

If you are truly sorry, just like you sound; then He has already forgiven you. What’s left is you to forgive yourself and move on. God Bless.
Thank you so much. This means alot to me. :)
God has nothing to do with it. Do you forgive yourself?
You’re 15. You have at least 65 years left of life. Get out there and have fun.
Hi, yeah you sound just like me. I’m 15 too and I used to cut myself and I still have my scars on my left arm I stopped and I still don’t forgive myself for what I’ve done but I do know God has forgiven me and he probably has forgiven you too. Just take life one step at a time and when you do you will feel yourself forgive yourself a little bit at a time and one day you’ll say I beat myself and god loves me. So stay true to yourself and keep your chin up.
Wow, really thanks. This made me feel less alone. :) I’ll take your advice, thank you. :)
oh hunny… of course he forgives you.. thats not the worst thing you could be doin
I am 21 years old. When I was 15 I was very depressed like you and decided to cut myself. It turned into an addiction. People don’t understand how addicting it is and how hard of an addiction it is to break. Your brain released feel good chemicals when you cut yourself, it’s bascially like a drug. my mom found out months later and I was sent to a psych ward. Long story short, I never thought I would overcome it. And never saw myself in a place that I am now. I’m happy and don’t deal with depression. It’s a fight, must you have to chose to be happy. The age your are, is tough. Girls can be mean, school is hard, your trying to grow up and a million other things on top of that. Hang in there, I promise it will get better. I wouldn’t believe it if someone told me that then,but it will!
the good thing is that you realise that once you start, it gets easier to do it again.
when i first cut, i was so depressed i wanted to die (it wasn’t a suicide attempt, jsut the way i found to release my feelings) but after that i started cutting more often, when i wasn’t even feeling as depressed as i was the first time. that’s when i realised how addicting it gets, and i haven’t hurt myself in over a year and even though sometimes i still feel like cutting, stopping and remembering how long it’s been makes me really proud of myself.
so if you feel like cutting again, think to yourself is that actually what you want to do, or is it just the thing you do now, a routine?
I cut myself for 6 years the feeling of wanting to cut is still there. I glance at my scars everyday but numb to the fact i wanted to die. Some people say o u r crazy but understand thd craving you have for someone just to love you back. Im 22 ad life is hard but i cant shut myself from it but do the best i can to live n it
