So i managed to again cut myself; intentionally. WTF really? I don\'t understand, but I can tell ya I feel some relief as soon as I do it, so that\'s why I haven\'t really stopped. It\'s winter time & I can cover the marks/scars on my arms, but what about my neck; am I gonna have to wear turtle necks the rest of the winter? By the way, I hate winter.
I don\'t know if ANY OF THIS MAKES SENSE? It\'s not an outlet for me to write this; I was justwondering if anyone else felt this way or has any insight to what I can do???

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care.

You might try putting some make up on the cuts on your neck. I don\'t know how well that will work, but I have used it on my arms and it seems to work better than I ever thought it would. I\'m not saying to keep on cutting, but I know how hard it is to stop, especially when it brings us relief.
Maybe by summer the scars will have faded somewhat, enough to where you won\'t have to conceal them. I doubt mine will, but oh well. I done it to myself. You might also try some of the different kinds of scar creams on the market. I used to use Scar Zone...you have to apply it like three or four times a day, but if it works, that\'s great. I can\'t tell you if it works or not because I lost my tube like an idiot. Gonna have to buy more.
Anyway, I hope you will finally be able to resist self injury. It becomes a terrible addiction in only a short period of time. I was hooked the very first time I done it. I used to cut daily, but now I do it in binges, I guess you could say. I can go a month or two without it, but once I start back, it\'s a daily thing and gets pretty serious.
Best of luck to you, hun!
I also recomend tattoos but only for places you know your not going to cut again. i\'ve given up my ankles so i could tat there. you really don\'t want to cut over a tattoo and fuck it all up.
