Think about the movie Thirteen. The girl in the bathroom, she cut herself in her left or right arm and that seems worse.

Forget pills. Today's society eats too much. We eat because it's time to, not for what we should be eating for - which is energy. Most people eat far too much than what they actually need.

Cutting is primarily associated with Borderline Personality Disorder.  Perhaps you could look it up for further information.

"Cutting," what you are doing, is very common (perhaps too common) among teenage girls.  It is seen as a cry for help.  Perhaps you should so your mom and explain this to her.  If you don't feel comfortable with that way, talk to a guidance couselor at school or another adult that you trust.  But please, please talk to someone!  Good luck.

no. i was told by my doc wen i started taking it that it wasnt healthy sskipping the sugar pills more than twice. ou will find most girls cant skip that much without bleeding. its natural and your body will eventually get rid of it no matter how long you u want to skip.

The Pill won't make you feel better. Chances are it'll make you feel worse.\n\nJust ask my ex. I once threw a meat cleaver at my ex whilst premenstrual and on the Pill...

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 wouldn't use a pill. You have no idea what side effects it could have. Just exercise and eat right.

I am a cutter or was a cutter. I am telling you YES tell you therapist. The meds can be either changed or upped. I do not believe that the meds I took cured my cutting urges but they did help me to be able to function better. What helped me was DBT- dialectual behavioral therapy, group therapy and a good therapist. What stops me now from cutting is simple, the scars! I have scars that are very visible and tell many stories, storys that I rather never read again. You have the strength inside you to stop cutting, you just have to fight through the urges, the anger and the anxiety. Oh, it was hard and still now it's sometimes gets hard BUT I look at it this way, the only one I was punishing was myself and why the heck should I do this! I was punished enough growing up so why do I want to continue this myself. Talk to your therapist about the meds and about possible dbt. It has helped me and I know it can help you!

I don't really know which is worse, but as a very skinny person it certainly feels like its worse to be us at times.  The reason I say that is because with really fat people, other people will snicker and gossip but will never actually tell the person "wow you are so fat," like they will with a very skinny person.  I used to be very self conscious about how thin I was, so comments like "you are so skinny" and "you are so tiny" and "you look like i could break you" were very painful and made me feel horrible.  It would also imply that my friends thought I had an eating disorder, which also really distressed me.  And what's worse is that you can't really diet or do anything to gain weight if you are naturally thin.\n\nThat said, I can't imagine that it would be easy to weigh alot either.  Especially considering the health risks--obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.  And when you add those up to the stares and comments it's probably equally ask crappy as being looked down upon for being thin.

Both are bad situations.  If I had to, I would say Mental abuse is a little worse.  Physical abuse can leave "physical evidence" that abuse is actually taking place. For example, If you see a child with an unusual amount of visable scars, you may take action to help that child.  But if somebody is being abused Mentally, There are still scars, but they are on the "inside"... The average passer-by usually never notices the victoms of mental abuse, thus The abused person is forced to deal with the situation "on their own"  I truely hope this was a hypothetical question, and you are not the victom of any type of abuse.  If you are in a bad situation... Seek help!  The longer people wait to report things like this, the worse they can get.  Oh, by the way, thanks for your answer reguarding a question I asked about depression.  You seem like a wise, and compassionate person.... God Bless.

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.
