SORRYYY having some feminist stuff. like being against feminism?

[[deleted user]]

what do you do to be against it?

[Brianna]

I've done the little, "stares at the razor thinking" thing but I've never done it. Plus, it would be basically impossible to hide the fact since I'm a swimmer and someone would be bound to notice.

[[deleted user]]

Swimsuits r pretty revealing so if I cut myself someone would be bound to notice, especially in the locker room 'cause we pretty much strip.

ouch but u wouldnt do that anyways right?? u seem so chipper..

[Brianna]

Naw. I've never had too many problems with that kinda stuff. If I feel mad or upset I just let it out in a temper tantrum or something like that. It works. LOL

[Jacklyn]

Does anyone think it odd that cutting actually works? For a short time at least?

i think its really weird! at least how the devil tricks you into doing it..

[Jacklyn]

I know! I also know that what 'seems right' is sometimes the worst thing ever! I have/had/am having a prob w/ it myself, and it is difficult to know that the Devil was whispering those things to me. Sometimes, your hurt heart is actually what is what is against you!

[Carolyn, The God of Angel Armies]

yes its scary!! and most often we get caught up in emotions and forget to ask God.

i feel so bad when i forget God.

i mean come on

FORGET GOD?

facepalms

but I do it too..

[Jacklyn]

I will steal someones awesomeness and *facedesk*...yeah, how can you forget someone who follows you EVERYWHERE???

[[deleted user]]

But when the physical pain dulls, the emotional pain is still there, as strong as ever.

[Carolyn, The God of Angel Armies]

yeah its temporary. wow the emotional pain must be insanely high

[[deleted user]]

There's only one cure for it.

[Alkmini]

I used to cut... But I was so ashamed of myself every time I did... And I couldnt stop me from doing it. I didnt have the strength to cope with my problems. So I told a friend of mine about this problem... And he started praying with me for me to get over it. And I did! God is full of mercy! He is going to help you with any problem you have!

agreed

[Jacklyn]

Yeah. I live w/ lots of siblings...it's quite weird to know that they don't even know. I hide it. And, just to comment from caro, yes, emotional pain is mostly insanely high.
Also, does anyone cut because they like it?

We all have. We're only human.It's only by grace that we overcome our trials and keep pressing on. <3

Anyone else suffer from anxiety sometimes? I do. I absolutely hate change. It puts me on the edge for weeks or months.

awwww I used to. im working on it. I hate changing my schedule and to do lists

[Carolyn, The God of Angel Armies]

im sorry dear im not trying to treat you like dirt don't take it personally. guess it just came out wrong. ignore me

[[deleted user]]

I tried cutting a couple years ago because I was very depressed and angry. In my experience, emotional pain is like an addiction. Physical pain is the drug. You've heard the saying 'Misery loves company', and pain feeds on pain. I've heard some people say cutting is their way out, like they're letting out their pain. But like a drug, it offers a short reprieve until soon you feel the urge to cut again. In order for the pain to go away, I realized cutting wasn't the answer, but "starving" my emotional pain was. It's going to hurt like hell when our emotional pain screams for its relief (self-harm) for a long time, but it will eventually die.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

@Arael. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'll pray for you and just know I'll always be your friend.
