The Cutting Game

So, I know a lot of you guys do some weird and crazy shizz that a lot of people question. Well, we're going to get into the serious stuff. The - what I like to call it - Cutting Game. I know a lot of you guys cut your arms, legs, even stomach. And I've come up with millions of reasons why you would. I've even considered doing it myself, but I didn't have to on purpose cause it already happened so many times by accident, not to mention I don't even have my own personal knife. But anyway, even if I did, I wouldn't do it (Willow, please don't get worried...) cause I really tried to think positive and my nose really hurts from getting hit and cut on the shelf. But there must be reasons why you do it. Mostly, when I ask you, you give me something that doesn't even point in the direction of why you cut and it just explains why you are depressed. Your reason for depression isn't the reason why you cut.

For some of you, it's an addiction. You did it once for God knows what and soon became obsessed (this reminds me of Yuri, sorry, I've been thinking a lot about DDLC😅). But all I can tell you for that, really, is GET OUT OF IT! It's not healthy and it will only create problems. Many people have actually died on accident by cutting. Don't get any ideas. Please, be positive and don't attempt to kill yourself by cutting! It's very dangerous and could worsen your state of mind...

Another reason why cutting happens is because it's like testing the waters. Depressed people won't really decide on cutting just because. If the person is depressed and not suicidal, they wouldn't think too much of cutting but probably will if they are becoming suicidal or if they are. One reason is because it's like seeing if you are able to even have the guts to commit suicide. It's like seeing how far you'd go. It brings us back to how you shouldn't commit suicide.

You're trying to live life like everyone else but it's just not working out for you. I understand that but that doesn't mean you should give it up because there's so many things you don't know. There are so many things you should live for. Yourself and your friends and family and everybody who you think don't care but they actually do. If someone said that you're nothing or something like that, you shouldn't just believe what they say. You should prove them wrong. That's where you could start. Block out the haters and prove them wrong. Strive to be better instead of just sitting at the same level, waiting for insult after insult. Prove to everybody and yourself that you are more than what people see. I've been doing that a lot and I am quite happy with how things turned out.

Moving on, another reason people cut is because they rather bear the physical pain than the emotional pain. I understand that a lot. Sometimes I just wish for something to physically knock me out to distract me from what I'm feeling. But it doesn't always work. Sometimes, it just makes it worse. And after the pain goes away, the horrible feeling that you were trying to avoid comes back, usually when you're left alone with your own thoughts. This is actually the main reason why people self-harm. They don't want to feel the broken feelings they have or face the things causing the damage. It's a real problem actually... It's the same for drugs and alcohol but we'll get to that in another chapter.

If you are someone who inflicts self-harm, I reccomend that you just stop. It won't bring you any relief in the end. It won't bring you any hope. If you continue, you'll believe everything is over. And it's not over. I can't convince you if you keep making up reasons that it doesn't matter. That nothing matters. In the end, the illness is overcome by you and you alone. I am only here to help you fight the battle and to make it easier. It's just like medicine. Medicine doesn't cure you alone. It just helps the cells in your body fight back and weakens the disease or foreign bacteria. So, you see, only you can overcome this battle and achieve the ending prize which is to feel...happy💕

And there's something I saw that was a DDLC meme, I guess. These people made a very good point though (I don't know who it was but this will be in place of the quotes):
