My first time

[fonz]

i know it must be common

 

but i am really need of someone to talk to about it

 

on accident i was using a bottle opener to open a beer, i usually drink with my brother, sometimes on the weekends

 

i used the wrong blade to open the beer and cut my finger. for some reason it felt soothing to see myslef being cut

 

buzzed... i then went in to my own room with the same pocket knife and cut my self worse...i dont know what to think of it. i didnt want to cut myself deep enought for suicide...but just enough for it to hurt and scar...in one night i cut myself 6 times...only one of the cuts being somewhat deep

 

im kind scared...is this just phase? i truly hope so

hi. its good that u've come here for help and advice. It can take courage. Sometimes cutting can be a phase but sometimes it can be alot more. ive been cutting for between 3 and 4 years now. You should avoid cutting again because you can become addicted to the endorphines released by cutting. there are many techniques to stop cutting, many of which can be found on this forum. If you have difficulty you might want to consider counselling. goodluck with woteva you chose to do. let me know how ur gettin on if u want.

i hope things go well today

I would try to stop immediately... cutting can be very addicting and if you don't stop soon it may be really really hard to quit

I agree with hopeless. Cutting can very easily become an addictionn and like any addiction once you start it is very hard to stop

i dont think this is a phase, people cut themselves for all different reasons, but its never just something u go through, there must be something in ur life thats making u feel like u want to cut urself, i really think u need to talk to someone about this, i hope everything works out for u.

do NOT get in this habbit. do something else that gives you a buzz feeling. go shooting at a shooting range, start boxing or something like that. it is not a phase it is a serious addiction. PM me if you just need someone to talk to

[itseuphoric]

don't get into cutting. it is indeed an addiction and once you start, you wont want to stop. i've been there, trust me. try to find other ways to let out your emotions..but don't do it with a knife.
