Drawing a cross is a really good idea! Maybe I should try that. My preferred place to cut is my sides near my hips, but lately my left arm has looked pretty tempting. I think I'll draw a cross on myself right now, actually. Thank you so much for sharing that!
well im glad i can help. personally when i did it, it sounded kind of lame, but it really did help!

I also fell into a great depression that had lead to abusing myself. I found God, and ever since than I found something that I enjoy doing, something that I can also do for God, rap. I wrote about personal experiences that had made me release so much steam that I felt I was finaly healed. I ainte telling you to rap, but writing about you personal experiences through music, poem's or even stories will help to release. I'll be praying for you all.

X-ALT - Writing definitely helps me. I'm glad you found a way to let off some steam in a constructive way!

goth4God - I did it, and it definitely helped. I'm thinking about writing my favorite Bible verse on my sides and my arm to remind me that I am a wonderful creation of God.

this is sort of what spinning said...but i was in my pastors office a while back, and i was looking on his bookshelf, and i saw this photo, and it was a picture showing a man, sticking a needle into his arm, but jesus was standing behind him, sticking his arm out, like the man, was sticking the needle into jesus' arm. this photo is the photo that made all the diff. in my life, because i saw it about a week after i got saved, and since i used to cut, it really made a diff in how i viewed cutting. and the main reason is, at the bottom of the photo, it said this, "Everything that you do to yourself, you have done to God." That statement hit soo hard. I started crying right there. I wish i could get the photo, and upload it. But just try to imagine christ putting his arm there in place of your arm, and when you cut yourself, you are cutting God too. But i promise you that you can beat this. just trust in God, and he will give you the strength you need. I struggled with cutting for about a year and a half..so i promise you that you can beat this! :) let me know if you need to talk!

Hiya,

I was once a cutter too...but I was cutting over stupid things like an ex boyfriend (who turns out to be totally unworthy...). I don't think anyone should be sorry for their cutting. I'm not. BUT I am sorry for the stress I put my loved ones through. My friends, family, everyone around...

It's great to know that most cutters here realised what I did too...and it's important to keep reminding yourself that God allowed things to happen and you learn from it. Maybe He taught us all a lesson through our own cutting experiences.
