I have no idea why. I started a couple of years ago and it only lasted a few months...My boyfriend found out so I felt stupid and embarrassed and I stopped. For the past few years it's always been in the back of my mind but i've always thought to myself "my body doesn't deserve to suffer for what's going on outside". I've never really told anyone about it though, and the only comment I got from my mum was that it was stupid and she hoped i'd never do it again. A few weeks after my bro found out that I had cut my arms I actually found out that he had bashed his knuckles up, so I think that's what really made me stop. But now I don't live at home and recently i've really been feeling the urge to cut again. I just tried to talk to my boyfriend (whom i'm living with now) about it but he just seemed all uncomfortable and shrugged it off like he didn't think I was serious. It was hard enough for me to start to talk about it because i'm really embarrassed, so I don't know what to do... Someone please give me a clue as to what to do to take my mind off it! I feel like the only person who could help me would be a professional.
