GO SARAH WE LOVE U,


right my name is sarah i been cuting for 2yrs i trying to stop but its very hard but thanks to ds im cuting less know thanks my freinds

hiee. im tina, new to the site.. and new to the group. ive been cutting since i was 12.. and currently at 23. im bipolar and manic depressive. along with some severe anxiety and social paranoia. i go to a therapist.. and she isnt aware that i currently cut. i make it seem like a "has been" type situation. i was excited to find this site, because i am the only person i know that cuts. i guess i do fit the "sterotypical" fit on the cutting. i wear black, not always but alot. im peirced and tattooed, pale with black hair. it wasnt on purpose. its just how i feel comfortable. alot of people call me "gothic". rarely do i ever get emo. as far as my emotions go, im quite the opposite. i express my emotions with a box cutter. it escalated over the years, a safety pin, to a knife to a boxcutter. i want to stop, and im tired of hiding my scars. nothing works... im looking foward to meeting some people on here to talk to. =)

im crystal ive been cutting since the end of 8th grade im in 11th now

My name is Kim and I'm a 21 year old senior at San Diego State. I experimented with cutting for awhile starting when I was 14 and have currently started up again. I first tried it as curiosity along with overwhelming feelings. This past year I went through two break ups, the latter one being very detremental on my self-esteem and worth. So this time, I began SI with a purpose. To express my internal frustrations of not being able to get over this guy, to punish myself for all the drama and mess I have gotten myself into and to feed in more to what I see as "ugliness" when I look at myself.

I currently went to my aunt and cousin about my cutting. My aunt recommended I join online support groups because I don't have very many people to talk to this about with. I'm looking forward to meeting others as well as helping other people who self-injure themselves as much as I can.

hi all im a cutter well i carve im 32 cut since i was 9 nice to meet u all

I'm Jack, and I just started cutting. I'm 18. Never thought I'd do this, but my usually high self-esteem has just plummeted in the past few months. Of course, that's not all (by far), but that's enough for an introduction.

I'll stick with aegisgs for now. I have been si ing since 8-9, so 8-9 years. I hate the word emo with a passion. Definately can't tell I cut by the way I act.

My name is Elise or i just go by nickname Tank ( I hardly hear people call me by my name). I have been cutting since i was in the 7th grade after a stupid break-up. I am in the 10th grade and I have been over that break up for years and my cutting just turned into an addiction that spiraled out of control. Now i have controlled the addiction and haven't cut since my birthday on December 1st of last year. =)

Hi, I'm MK. I've been cutting since I was 17 and burning myself when I was 22. I'm 23 now, and I haven't self-injured in 10 months. It's been harder to get over than when I stopped drinking...which I started doing when I was 17 too. It was all a way to cope with the depression that I had and had no idea what was going on with me. I still have the urge to cut everytime I get upset or my emotions seem out of control. That's my first thought, "I want to cut." But luckily, I havent' in awhile. I just wanted to introduce myself to the group since I've been a part of it for a few weeks but haven't said anything.

Hi, im matthew. I hate the word emo sooo much. Average looking person, even take honors classes. Besidss a few of my friends, no-one knows that i still cut. I started si-ing when i was about 8. I really dont know if i want fo quit, but i'll give it a shot.

Im Amanda or Mandy...whatever u want to call me.

I have been cutting since i was 12, for about five years now. I am no where close to being emo or an attention seeker. Nobody knows that I know of except my bf and hes always trying to convince me to stop.

i droped out of school in freshman year of highschool with no plans of going back. I am pregnant and anorexic (also on a special diet the doc put me on to gain weight :(....im trying my best to follow it)

Hello. My name is KC, I'm a Christian mutt, 18. I started cutting in fifth grade quit in ninth, recently started again this year, but not as bad and for different reasons than before. I also have trichtotillomania (hope I spelt it right :) ) which helps add to the stress. with the exception of God and the people on this site no one knows what I do to my self and I kind of like it that way. In a very irrational part of my mind I see getting outside or professional help an admittance of defeat. I really don't know why, but with any luck I won't have to. Nice to meet you all by the way :)
