It's good that people spread information thought. When I still was in school no one knew what self injury was and people still and always have been ignorant of self injury. They easily blame it on something what they don't understand. For examble when I was in school "she cuts because she is a Satan worshipper" and these days I have heard that so common "emos cut themselves". Very few really want to know the deeper reason. Some don't stop cutting because it's the only way of showing this is how much I'm hurt. The cutter may hide the wounds from people but the cutter can see and actually feel the pain. Like I'm very athlethic but I still have urges because to me cutting is the best way. That's what addiction is all about. I know about addictions my mom and many of my friends had alcohol addiction and many of my friends have cut themselves. Even my mom has. To get rid of addiction (yes, sounds so terrifying to get rid of something you love so much) you need professional help and lot of caring enduring health people around you. To someone who has cut themselves usually have lost trust in human beings so it's HARD trying to confince that you care about the person. Well...I'm off now. Take care everyone.

It's just human nature to not care. Learn to care for yourself first, that's the rule. And he said any aerobic exercise. If you're in a wheel chair, then I sympathize with you and realize you can't run, walk, jump, or dance. There are still other ways, though. It may not be the exact same stimulus, but drawing, writing prose or poetry, talking to someone, or screaming into a pillow can help also. If not, get off the chair. Sitting on a swing even helps a little. He knows these things because it is proven fact. Look it up. I don't mean to sound heartless to you for your situation--whatever it may be--and I don't mean to be cold to you. Its obvious you're in a lot of pain, and need some help. Not particularly psychiatric, seeing as how that didn't help me. Find your own way to help yourself...other than cutting, of course. Good luck in bettering yourself. =) No, no one cares about every individual who cuts. It’s just human nature to not care. Learn to care for yourself first, that’s the rule.

Like drugs, the effects of cutting does not last until you do it again. The truth: running, exercising, dancing and doing anything aerobic will stimulate or signal the body chemicals to create the same effects as cutting. The act of cutting, like taking drugs can be habit forming and addictive. That's why it is important not to begin cutting (or using drugs). If you are cutting, get help.
