yea its a real problem. ive been cutting for a long time now and my parents are worried about me, i even agreed to see a counsler to help them chillax a little bit. it doesnt do anything. people dont understand what it is like unless they are cutters too. a lot of my friend think im retarded and stupid for not stopping, but its hard and i’m not really that enthuesed about stopping. yea im messed upand have issues, but whatever. i basically wanna stop to make my parents feel better, but in reality i like it, which is weird.

Pain Of Losing Family 1 month ago

i have probably been cutting myself for about 2 years
and I Stopped a while ago but then started again
when my grandfather had died and shortly after my cousin
had takin to court for breaking into his school then a liquor store
it hurt to know that everyone in my life was slowly fading away
i tried to stop after that because poeple kind of had a suspition
but after a found out my mom was probably going to kick me out because her boyfriend didnt like kids, it made me more angry and i still havent stopped but one day i hope to find peace in my life and stop cutting myself but for now its still a work in progress!

Well I’ve been doing okay. I want too a lot more now. I’m pushing my friends away again… I hate doing that but they have their own lives… I miss hanging out with them though. Oh well, I haven’t cut since around mid-December, so I’m doing good.
I’m not sure what else…

stoping, beggining, stopping, beggining. 2 months ago

i’ve cut up my arm pretty badly, i’ve done it before and stopped. i started again and stopped. and those times were not so bad, it didn’t last long.. it’s that it started again, and it’s worse than ever. half of my upper arm has the cuts, almost the entire length of my bicep sometimes, though some are smaller, deeper, “scratches”. i hate doing it and hate myself when i do it, but it makes me forget everything else. i’m depressed and just as well, it’s the worst “case” of it i’ve ever had.. the thing is, i’m only 13 years old. normaly this isn’t realy a problem for anyone else my age. i know a few causes but i can’t seem to understand why these reasons are big enough to do that. all i want to say, if you are doing this, but just started, quit now. it’s just not damn worth it!

Untitled 3 months ago

I’ve been cutting for a good two years and in the past 3months someone found out and is trying to get me to stop….I want to stop because it bothers them and I can usually use that thought to not do it I’ve only done it twice since trying to quit but I want to do it all the time I feel like I need to….even if I can quit will i ever truly want to? It’s the desire to that drives me crazy.



thank god 4 my bff 3 months ago

well in high school i was the gurl that played every sport in school and i was always the all-star or all-tourn. there was always presser on me from my family and friends and coaches to win or do my best. i got a scholarship to play fast-pitch softball for a college and my town was pressering me to go and play bc i was the frist gurl to get a scholarship for softball from my high school. everyone consider me a hero or a person that was respected for my sport playing. i when to college to play softball and an month later i quit and came bck home… thats when i started to cut myself… the whole town looked down on me and my parents looked like i was there only hope to go to college… my friends and family and coaches all turned against me…. not to long after i quit i became best friends with a gurl that i played softball against where i lived and she was going thur thing in her life and she bn cuting herself to and other things…. when i finally came out and told her that iwas cuting myslef she never got mad at me or never looked down on me she just talked to me and told me that when i wanted to cut to call her or cum to her so i did what she said and i did that for abt 6months and i finally stop cutting myself… i thank god everyday for my best friend bc if it wasnt 4 her i would b in a very bad place in my life…....
