why havent your mom tried to help you
ugh im sorry you get yelled at for it.

ok i highly suggest you find a counselor
or self injury/teen crisis support group
in your area your
reaching out for help obviously which is
the first step to achieving help and
getting better

Eh that was a bit dramatic.
I am truly sorry for the loss of your
friend. However most cutters cut to feel
pain not to die. I have been cutting for
about 5 years now.
Sometimes it is better than others. And
for me no counselor or therapist helped.
Not saying for a moment that they wont
work for you. But it is your own pain,
your own fight as it were, this is how it
was to me. I have scars all over both
arms, legs etc. I am not proud of them,
but i am not ashamed of them either. They
remind me of the pain i enjoy feeling. The
feeling that i am alive.
For some this is an exercise in control,
often rape victims or abuse victims use
this as an outlet to exhibit some form of
control over their lives. I hope this
isn't but if this should be your case then
therapy should help. If you like me just
enjoying feeling alive then i really have
no other words to offer you as i have
tried to stop many times. Sometimes it
will be a month sometimes 3 days. But i
will always be a cutter. It is who i am.
I have come to accept it really, and take
alot of precautions to protect myself with
disinfectants etc. I also did some
research into major arteries etc and steer
well clear of those. As i have no wish to
die. More of a drug to me really.
Go seek your help, i hope it works for
you.
IF you ever wanna chat just drop me a PM.
Cheers
