i have been cutting since age 12.
stopped on and off from time to time. this time is my longest. 6 months at age 23. but people around me are cutting now. my ex friend ben tried to cut himself in front of me and his wife/my friend and i begged him not to..but he doest care . he is 30. another girl i know is 17 does it for attention. another girl age 20 now does it cuz she really doesnt understand yet how to let it out and sees others doing it. i cant stand this. they arent true cutters. i mean ok maybe they are but I have tons of scars..some really deep up and down my arms and at least my friend shoud have the respect to not do it in front of me. i have been on a spiderweb of emotions. a rollercoster that seems to pick up speed. i want to cut deep again more then the few marks i did yesturday. i cant do this anymore. i'm 23 will this go on untill i'm 41 or above? secretly i missed my SI..those 6 months of not doing it killed me. bt now that its back i dont know how long. anyway i'm rambling so i should stop. how old are you and have you ever tried to stop?

I am 18 right now. I started probably when I was 12, because my brother was arrested for drugs. He had anger issues and he would hit me, but he doesn't remember any of it. I've been cutting ever since, and when I hit rock bottom a few times, I tried to kill myself by hanging myself, but I always stopped myself.
Although the pain and the urge to cut never stops, it lessens the longer you go without it. I haven't cut in almost a year and I have had less and less relapses of depression. I can't wait for the one year marker. It has gotten so much easier to resist the urge, and it all started when I made a promise to someone that I would stop.

hi i'm 32 now and i've not cut now for over 13 years but the temptation never goes away,
it only ever gets stronger and stronger, i'd like to say i'll never pick up a blade again but tbh i know i'll never escape, i'll pick up a blade even though i know i don't want to. being a harmer or a non harmer really has no meaning, we are what we are, weather we manage to change or not. i know this doesn't help but plz stay safe

I'm 19 and have been self harming for 14 years. An addiction will always be there, it's just how you handle it. My cousin is 23 and she has been cut-free for a few years now. She just doesn't do it. She finds other ways to distract herself from it. She says it's hard... but it's what she has to do. You need to learn how to take control over this and not let it take control over you.
There is no "true cutter." Whether you have scars all over your body, or if you have just a few, you still used cutting as a way to cope with whatever problem(s). To me, cutting is keeping me alive. If I don't cut, I don't cope... And I know that I won't make it if I don't keep up with cutting. One day, we will all figure out how to help ourselves. Stop when YOU are ready, not when some boy or family members tell you you have to stop because "they don't like it."

im 17. been cutting for almost 4 years. i've been trying to stop ever since my current boyfriend came into my life, which was in late may of last year. we've been together since june 11th of last year. i have tried to cut, but the longest ive gone without it so far is 3 months. i am currently trying to stop. i dont know if it will be as hard as it was the other times, but im hoping not. worst addiction ever to get clean of for me. ive beat cigarettes, meth, and crack addictions, and cutting is the one addiction that i cannot seem to get over. i also wonder if this ever ends....
