It makes me have faith in humanity that you are trying to stop. It shows that maybe you once were weak but now you are becoming stronger and more confident with yourself. It's your life in your hands.
Self-loathing will always be depression. It's the cause of it. Self-hatred is a nasty thing. But Kitsch has tried to give me examples to see cutting in a different light but none of those included the fact that someone hates themselves. Most people start cutting people they hate what is going on around them. When they get to the stage in depression where the anger is aimed at themselves they are closer to conquering it but the cutting has already become addictive.
Typically, people don't behind hurting themselves because they hate themselves. (I'm not saying that some don't, but it's not typical.) They begin cutting because of their parents, friends, horrible situations that they've been in. Things like that.
Honestly, you yourself just agreed that cutting is weak. That's what this conversation was about, correct? So I'm not really that far off when I stay it.
And I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel worse but honestly three years ago I was diagnosed with clinical depression as a 12 year old who had moved 13 times, pretty much every year of her life. So I know what it's like. But I do not believe that cutting and depression go hand in hand.
Depressed people sometimes start cutting and sometimes they don't. But I've never heard of an adult who starts cutting as an adult. It's a teenager's mentality level, honestly.
" It sucks seeing other people point out the things about you that you already know."
-Not to sound insensitive at all, but I think that people who cut need a wake up call. They need to realize that others see what they see in themselves. That's exactly what I'm trying to get across. If you attempt/pretend that you see yourself as at least an "okay" person then others will too.
Hi. :)
I respect your opinion on my journal. I honestly do.
But when you said that not all people who cut should be labeled as weak it kind of threw me off. I don't think that cutting yourself is ever an excuse for anything.
So if you could give me an example of a good time to cut yourself, I'll change my journal and my opinion. But there are other alternatives and cutting is the easy way to get over something. It's honestly weak.
U're welcome! :)
