What's your best excuse for your cuts?

The fact that you need to cut yourself is scary, go seek medical help, counselling, medication etc. Or find a new hobby.

Don't need an excuse. Just tell them that you are sick. You earned the sick days so use them.

When i accidentally hit my bf while flicking my hair.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i spilled coffee on the counter.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i have a car accident and it's my fault..yes i am really sorry.\nWhen i flipped through slides too fast for other people to follow.  I said i was sorry as i went back to let them catch up (i am a teacher and use power points)\nWhen i had to cancel a date with a friend because my bf's car was in the shop.  Not really sorry then, i really don't like that friend that much and was just as happy to skip the activity.  More of a social nicety to say it.\n\nAlso in my emotional life i do not conduct myself in a way that i have to apologise for.  I don't yell or belittle people or get drunk and throw up on people's carpet.  Most of the things i apologise for are somewhat inadvertent.

Try using something called "Mederma". It's scar cream and it's amazing! I had a few cuts that were in a prominent place and I used it and they're gone. No trace at all.

You must get to a Doctor and have them checked.  You definately need something to help with the wound healing.  Anytime you have cuts that are open are a red flag for infection.  It most likely will not be anything too serious that can't be fixed with proper care given.  As you asked, indeed it may be a nutrition item.

Nun-chucks are great to show off and if you practise you can really hurt people with them but they aren't that effective and are hard to carry around.\n\n Switchblade knifes are good too, peoples eyes always light up when you swing one out and makes the "swish swish" sound.\n\n But my fav is this batten I used to have, it was small but big enough to hurt. The other great thing about this batten is it had a knife blade inside it, as the end of the batten screwed off and you screwed the end back on for a fixed blade, it was very cool!\n\n.

I'm not a cutter but I think the best thing for you, is to maybe try talking to someone about this. You say you do that to feel normal, but just because a lot of people do that, doesn't mean it's normal. If you don't want to talk to anyone about that, try just stopping cold turkey. Throw away all your razors, don't resort to any other means of self harm. Find a hobby and be constructive!

You know what, you sound so much like me it's not even funny.  But really it's just an excuse.  I completely agree that cutting isn't any worse than smoking.  It probably does less damage to your body, and it's definitely less addictive.  But it's still addictive, and it still hurts your body.  Just because smoking is socially acceptable doesn't mean it's a good thing to do, and it definitely doesn't mean that cutting is a good thing to do.\n\nYes, cutting does work.  For a while.  And then the cuts stop hurting and it all comes rushing back.  So you cut again.  And again, and again, until there's no where left to cut.  It's not a permanent solution.  It doesn't solve your problems any more than going out and getting drunk, or high or stoned solves your problems.  It just lets you forget them for a little while.\n\nIt might take away your pain tonight, but what about tomorrow when you have to get in the pool for PE and there are cuts all over your arms?  Or when you want to look nice for a special occasion and there are scars all over your arms and legs?  Or when you can't wear short sleeves in the summer because people will stare at your arms, or your parents will find out.  What happens when you're applying for a job, and every prospective employer can see written all over your body that you have a history of depression?  Do you really think anyone wants to hire someone who they see as mentally unstable?  Like it or not, society doesn't approve of cutting, so you either have to hide it or face social ostracization.  Neither one is a very attractive option.\n\nI'd be hypocritical if I told you to stop cutting, but believe me you don't want to go down the "it's ok to cut" road any more than you already have.  I've been there and it's not really a very nice place.\n\nThe other problem with cutting is that band-aids are really f***ing expensive if you buy them often enough.

Cutting - I don't like knives.  I am submissive and will do as I am told but my master knows cutting is off limits and luckily he agrees.  .

I'm a cutter too . . . I know where you are, where you've been and where you're going.  If you really want to stop, you can.  You have to identify why you're cutting, situations that trigger it, and make plans for what you're going to do instead.  Check out this article for tips:  \n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/problems/resisting_cutting.html\n\nI don't know how old you are, but if you really want help (and yes, I keep stressing that because some people do it for attention and want that more than to stop), just ask.\n\nA teacher\nA counselor\nA pastor\nA parent\nA psychologist\nA psychiatrist\nA family doctor\n\nTry this line if you can't find someone face-to-face to talk to:  1-800 DON'T-CUT
