Hello. I'm Sarah, I'm 20 years old, and I'm a mod on this forum as well. I started cutting myself when I was 13 years old. Sometimes it was because of extreme depression, and other times it was because I was so addicted and used to doing it that I just felt like I had to. I haven't cut myself in over a year now, but I still feel the urge and probably always will. It is hard, but it is for the better. I don't feel like I have to be cautious anymore and hide my wounds and worry about what others might think (except for the scars). If anyone needs help with stopping, I'd definitely recommend talking to someone you care about. I'm here for anyone who wants to talk at all about getting help, or even just about the reasons why you feel the urge to do it. Talking to people can help a lot. Feel free to PM me any time!

I'm new here, but I was searching for a forum where people could talk about this issue openly. I've looked a long time for something like this. I have NO ONE to talk to. I'd love to be able to have someone that I do not know in person to communicate with when I'm not feeling so good. Thanks to anyone who reads this or cares.
