First of all....
It seems you have "issues",
when it comes to cutting yourself, You should search for medical help....

Everybody has their problems,
Why do you cut yourself?
You have pleasure? You are depressed?
Doesnt matter, nothing could justify what you're doing.

Theres people with "real" problems out there, and they dont go around just cutting themselves.
I have problems too,
but I dont cut myself.....
cutting yourself is not gonna change anything....

And... You have a boyfriend,
He will be there for you,
In a relationship there is no secrets or lies,
Without love and trust, there's nothing at all
If you tell him,
and he leaves you instead of trying to help you
Then he never cared about you...

Honestly, you shouldnt cut yourself...
You have no reason at all, you have somebody who you can spend your life with, a person that you love and makes you feel special....
love is the best thing in the world its what keeps us alive...
You should consider yourself lucky and live everyday
with a smile.....

I have bigger problems than you........
And I dont go around moaning......

Wow wow wow, calmn down there Skydiver99. Everyone has their problems, and none any less significant than anothers. And trust me, if I can say that, after what I have seen and been through, then that is saying something. In God's eyes no sin is bigger than another, and same with our problems and issues. When we hurt ourselves, were hurting God. Not that we have the power to make Him hurt, its that he loves us somuch that he hurts for us!

Anyways, hun why do you cut? I am a cutter as well, for about 8 months now acually. So if you need to talk about this with someone, then im here for you,

Also, if your boyfriend loves you and cares for you like you say, then he isnt going anywhere! He will most likley see that the marks on the outside is just a representation of whats going on on the inside...

And as for the marks from shaving? Well, he will just have to trust you on that on. But if no, oh well. There isnt much else you can do about that one, sorry.

But, like I said if you ever need to talk, I'm more than willing to listen!

Hope your doing well, my heart goes out to you...
Gracie

gracie,

Lets not make of this an arguement, and be polite.
Theres no point to discuss like this over the internet.

Just thought I would give you a piece of my mind.

In this cases, going all friendly doesnt work.
You shouldnt treat her like that....let me tell you why

You see, when she came here with her "story", she was expecting to receive friendly answers like yours.
So I "reversed" that fact instead of saying
"its okay, everybody has problems and stuff but you shouldnt cut yourself"

I put her down, like she was one of the worst type of persons by showing how negative cutting was,
Then I bring her up by showing her reasons for happiness, like being in love.

Trust me, its the best way to talk with somebody with this kinds of problems, is throwing the "s**t" that they are at their faces then tell them now be happy because you have this and that

ok skydiver99, all i have to say is that if youve never cut you have no idea about how to handle it. also that you have no idea about how other people feel. you have no right to tell someone that you have bigger problems than them, and that they have no reason to be cutting!

anyway,
dear myheartwillnotgoon
you should really talk to someone. i agree with Gracie012 your boyfriend should trust you that the cuts on your ankles were from shaving, i think mostly because if you would tell him about cutting your wrist why lie about your ankle? good luck... i wish the best to you!

Hey myheartwillnotgoon
I think the bigger question is do you want a boyfriend that can't handle this? This is who you are right now if you have to hide what's going on in your life to be loved you should work at finding someone more willing to accept you. Cutting isn't a syndrome you can tackle effectively on your own. you're going to need his support and acceptance to get better. Tell him, if he can't come to terms with it I assure you there are a lot of people out there that can.
