I used to cut...
Just as long u dont get out of hand it is a gd way of releasing ur feelings.



What u need to know about cutting is that you do it for two reasons

it creats impulses that make u feel better
it is a way of displaying the fact that u are upset and that u are feeling alone and noone else can see ur feelings and it helps to show it in this way

if u do want to give up then here are some tips from when I did


1) instead of cutting use ice on wherever u normally cut and hold it there it
can hurt more then cutting and it will have the same affect as cutting but it wont scar u.

2) think about the consequences of cutting if ever u do give up I have been close to relapsing back into cutting and u just have to say to urself thats what u might feel like doing but u have stopped for a long time and u'll feel better later

3) when I said about showing people about ur feelings by cutting it may be helpful to write a diary with ur feelings just quick stuff off the top of ur head it doesnt have to be poems but sometimes they may help

send me a personal message if u do decide to give up and ill give u support as u go. Or if u just need someone to relay your feelings too im going thru the same things as u

i have been through this and was also bad at one stage in my life good luck with trying to give up and if u dont want to then its not so bad

take care
