I have cut on and off for awhile now. I do it when I get upset. I cut about 20 long cuts on my stomach just yesterdy. I am hurting because of what someone did to me. I just wanted you to know that I know exactly how you feel. I don’t see why it is such a bad thing. I don’t cut deep enough to endanger my life or anything. I don’t the problem with it. It helps me cope and I really need it. I told my best friend but she has never done it so she doesn’t know how I feel.

So what? I mean… Smoking and drinking are slowly killing you too. Sure I’ve left scars, but so does drinking or smoking- you just can’t see them. My case manager freaked out on me today because she saw one of my cuts on my wrist… It was going horizontal- not vertical… I just… Don’t see what’s wrong.

I know what you mean about it being like smoking/drinking. Its an addiction that has no real benefits.. yet its so hard to stop. I hope you can though. <3
