    • Close Self-Injury

      i started hurting myself when i was around 8. from there on up it gradually gotten worse then one night when i was 15 i went to far and i cut to deep. at that time things were out of control. i was cutting 3 to 5 times a day. things are under control now and i dont hurt myself as often i have almost stopped. I still get the urge and when i do i usually give in. i just havent found what works for me yet.

      therapy helps some. i had 2 really good therapists but i moved so i have to find a new one. i hope i can find a good one again.
