Sorry honey I just saw this post..From all I know you are the only one that can stop this..As an EMT to be-you know the dangers-I am not worried about anyone in your unit finding out but that you are doing this..Talk with your doctor, see a pain psychologist one that understnads or at least will learn and help..There is always a reasonfor starting..There needs to be a reason for stopping.. I pray you get your answers..kd

When I cut, the only thing that stopped me was having someone who cared. I was made to promise not to do it by a friend, and after that, I had a boyfriend who kept me from doing it. Even when I wanted to, I just thought of all the people I would be letting down if I did it. It's worked so far. I haven't cut in 2 1/2 years.
