cutting as a adult

[Krolikn]

No, its not keeping you sane and no you are not a responsible adult by choosing to do this. When I get depressed about my problems I don't go grab a knife and go to town on myself, I sort out my problems.

Somehow reminded me of the "Threw it on the ground" song by The Lonely Island.

but when you have 75% of a population on some kind of pill, there is something wrong with society.

Those pills that 75% of the population take has what has lead to overall increases in quality of life in society as a whole. Take the bad with the good, I suppose. What's so frightening about the thought of taking a pill take improve your daily life? Increase in mood, productivity, social connectivity, etc... If I had a condition that could be remedied by a pill, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Sadly, I don't think there's pill for narcissism

You literally have large portions of the population walking around as slobbering, drooling zombies and it's because every time someone has an ear ache, stubbed toe, or feels sad, they run to the doctor.

The amount of those pills that 75% of the population takes that produces those results are a small minority of that 75%. Hell, most of the people I know who are on any of the standard gamut of commonly prescribed medications I'd be none the wiser that they were on anything if it hadn't come up in conversation.

Everyone has a mental disorder. In fact, thinking you don't have a mental disorder is now a symptom of having a mental disorder. Bullshit.

Weeeeeeeeeell, and you're going to love this one, statistically speaking, the likely percentage of the human population with a diagnosable mental disorder is estimated to be around 90% of the population. XD

A vast majority of those don't require treatment, however, and generally don't interfere with one's living.

I cut myself on accident at work enough for it to not be appealing, but I do have other self destructive habits.

@OP check out what is a Borderline Personality disorder. See if you can relate to people who have it, and if you can - it's perfectly treatable. Nothing to be ashamed of. Are you ashamed of having a headache? No? Then good luck!

If you feel the need to cut when you make a mistake you really have got a problem. People make mistakes all the time, it really isn't a big deal. Accept the mistake and do what you can to fix it then move on, agonizing over it serves absolutely no purpose. Your attitude is very blind.

I've never understood the whole cutting thing. I understand it might be psychological, but part of me still thinks it's pathetic, especially when there are people with far worse lives than people wallowing in self-pity.

If you have an issue and actually have enough mental capacity to understand you have a problem, go to a doctor... not a gaming forum. Chances are no one here is able to help you and the last thing we need is more sob stories...

Meh, keep doing it, if you don't cut others, it's your business right? Don't listen to others, they are trying to spoil your fun! You know what's best so if it's making you happy why stop right?

[Khorgus]

Ive seen cutters, boys and girls and i can tell you it looks really bad if you do that deep and most likely if it is visible through clothing keeps people away from you.

I just smoke yet that is a habit , i say stop caring about everything deeply. Just accept negative things like positive. Make fun of yourself and with your problems. After all life is way too short to waste on depression. Things come and go.

simple, you are an adult in age but not in mind.

Being 18 or 21 is not really an adult, it's just kid that got to age where he/she should start acting like one, eventually. My personal experience on myself was that not until 25 i was still very much childish, well i am still now childish sometimes but much less. Anyway we all want to stay young and stuff so being childish helps and is quite fun! Boring adult life is boring unless you spice it up!

Of course 18 is an adult. Whether people choose to act like one is another matter... I was the boss of 30 people at 18 :/

You are self harming, self harm is not normal and is always a sign of some emotional issue. Only good advise you will get is to see a psycholoist or psychiatrist.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Get some professional help if you are cutting yourself. It's not healthy to do so. If you're emotionally drained, I get that. Really, I do I get little sessions of being lonely/depressed every month. Course I contribute that to myself but... I'm introverted so I'm not a social person. So remember OP if you think you have issues, you are not alone.

[Zdain]

Get help, your girlfriend has already told you it isn't normal, and she is right, at least she cares about you unlike 99.9999999% of every person on the internet you ask a question like this to. Sitting here trying to justify it so you can feel better about yourself is pathetic, you're basically just copping out of killing yourself and trying to get attention for it. Actually freaking talk to someone about your problems if they are that bad, do anything but acting like some kind of child and thinking self harm is "okay".

[Feel The Power]

If it bleeds we can kill it

[Dengir]

I cut myself sometimes. I helps me a lot with all kinds of things. It helps the way I feel about myself, my mistakes and helps me make better choices in life. The way I see it the cutting keeps me sane. But my girlfriend hates it. I have been doing it more recently and my attitude is "Get over it. I am a responsible adult and it helps." At least it is better then smoking.

How do other cutters feel? How do you handle the Gf/Bf?
How about non cutters how do you cope with life?

You are fucking moron. Go get some help and grow up because you are not a "responsible adult" if you are cutting. If I was your girlfriend I would of left you the very first time you cut. One more thing, Life does suck but cutting is not the way to deal with the down's life has. Like I said go get some professional help.

[Sunshine]

See a doctor. Get help.

This is not the place.
