Why is cutting wrong if you are a hopeless person?

[0jackie17]

Why is it wrong to cut yourself and why is it wrong to drink a lot if life is not worth living and your not worth saving?
I am a lost cause, I have no self-discipline. When I am motivated, I work really hard at school and home I take on lots of stupid things, then I think i burnout every once in a while.
Even when I am happy I wouldn't mind dying? When I am in a good mood I am overwhelmed by everything, colors are so beautiful and I am so inspired I can't even express it. The future seems so bright, I think I will be great and I am infinitely talented - I'm not. I'm just delusional.

As soon as I get the slightest bit weighed down by work, or someone says something negative my attitude changes. It used to change each term, but now it seems to change over a few weeks or days even. When I burn-out I just keep repeating a cycle of thoughts telling myself I am a waste of space. And I am, I have no self control, I don't bother to sleep some nights, then I sleep constantly, I drink without really needing it, I make to much noise in the early hours of the morning, I argue for fun, I do my work in the early hours or not at all. I am hopelessly obsessive sometimes, I have to spend 24 hours a day cleaning everything or I hyperventilate, or I become a workaholic - I have to be writing or I have panic attacks etc.

So why would it be wrong for me to cut myself? its a free country, no one knows about it and I don't care about myself, I am useless.
I thought about suicide, but then I thought if I am going to do that I might as well just go crazy and be reckless. I want to leave the country and travel as far away as I can. I might do this, just leave without planning, but leave a note, and starve to death or else hopefully it would know some sense into me.

Suicide is selfish, i know that, but I am a selfish person and even if people don't realize it, the world would be a slightly better place without people like me. I imagine all the people I meet would be better off if they hadn't met me, although I have been described as a positive person, god knows why.

Jimmy is right. Im extremely sick of this Oh im so sad im gonna cutt myself emo syndrome thats going around these days. First, If you believe in god you should know that he made you for a reason or you would'nt be here. Question one answered. Second, whats wrong with cutting yourself? Hmmm well to start with it makes you look like a nutcase that belongs in a mental homes padded cell instead of free to harm yourself. And also its just stupid and pointless. you cutt yourself and bleed for a while great...Now what did it get you?  Nothing! I know alot of the older crowd may think im being mean but im 21 and have been around these type of people, and they are attention craving dumb *****. They think there life is so bad because something dont turn out how they wanted it to...Boo fuckin hoo man..lifes alot harder than that. My grandpa lived a harder life than probably any person today does and he live on without caking tons of black makeup on and cutting himself up. My generation is a bunch of weaklings and i cant stand half of them. A good 75% of them are into this retarded emo fad.

ok well yeah i guess cutting makes you feel better but dude its not good for your health, unless like your blood is gonna make you suffer so much but not kill you that you would beg to die (then i guess its ok cus you bleed it out, get rid of your "evil blood that tortures you" and die so that ur not hurting.) if you dont have evil torturing blood then dont cut yourself. Get this in your head, the only thing wrong here is what causes people to cut or drink.

Totus_Trucido, what in the world is the matter with you? If you have no encouraging or kind words to say to someone then don't comment at all.

Ojackie17, I don't care how many people are on this earth. You ARE important. You are so important and unique that the Creator of this universe gave you your own set of fingerprints and DNA that set you apart from anyone else. Do you think that was coincidence? I don't. It's up to you to find out what your gifts are and use them. We all have gifts. We all are here for a reason and every life is precious. We only have one life to live. We shouldn't waste it. We learn from each other and our circumstances.

I'm sorry you're hurting right now. Please talk to a therapist and consider medication, at least for awhile. I think you do want to feel better and you have every right to feel better and be happy. I wish you well. God bless.

Everyone is put on this earth for a reason....no one is a "waste of space". As much as you think you are no use to this world....you are here! Cutting yourself.......I don't understand myself why people do it....I had a friend that did it all the time out of a way of realeasing her pain.....she would carve every man that has ever hurt her into her body.....Please don't feel this way about yourself, there are lots of people who love you and who are yet to love you! No one ever said life was easy.....no matter who you are!.....It's just a matter of overcoming those bumps in the road.....Your important!....maybe you don't see it yet but you will :)
