i hope u don't do it again. then not only do u have the original problem, but then you have to tackle the problem of hurting urself. it like compounds it.

it's sort of the same as a person who drinks to get away from their troubles. they become addicted and then they have alcoholism to deal with too.

i know that self-harm, cutting is addicting. i would advise against trying hard to not continue and make it a regular behavior. good luck sweetie.

you know, you can post about what is wrong on here, the people here are helpful, there's even some people ur age around here.

to be honest i dont no what started it i can maybe say it is 12 yrs of bullying finally taking its toll but honestly i dont no. in the last 2 years is when i started noticing a change in behaviour (from quiet to bad ass not givin a dam).

I probably do not understand self injury very well because I don't do it. All I want to say is it really needs to be looked into and stopped. It is my understanding it is a very complex 'thing', very dangerous, and a 'sign' of some (usually) deep 'problems'.

I suggest you do some research on it. Go to www.google.com and search on SELF INJURY. Also, of course, tell a doctor about it. This is something you want to get control of quickly because it progresses.

There are some groups on DS that may help you also. Do a DS search on CUTTING and you will find 13 MEMBER GROUPS and 3 DS GROUPS. A search on SELF INJURY will find 15 and 7 respectively.

Good luck to you, and I hope you have cut for the last time.
