7.Have suicide thought?
When I feel lost and think there is no hope. When something triggers those feelings or when I am in severe emotional pain. When I am in a situation I wish I could get out of or am not comfortable in.
2.How often do u feel that way?
Lately it's been everyday. Usually it is only when I am in a certain situation or someone says something that triggers it, which is about one or two times a week.
3.How many times have u cut?
Never kept a count but know it is in the hundreds.
4.What do feel when u're cutting?
Like I can breathe again. I feel release,relief and it calms me down for a moment.
5.Did u cut for the pain or the blood or something else?
Sometimes it is for the pain, most of the time for the blood. It depends on what the trigger was.
6.Does anybody know u're si-ing? did they give any help at all?
My husband knows and a few friends, my family knows about it from when I was younger, not now. My husband is the only one who can help at all even when he was the trigger. Everyone else makes it worse.
7.Have suicide thought?
Everytime I do it.
2. At least one point in every day, or every two days
3. I have about 30ish scars, but I cut over old scars to save getting new ones, how many times I don't know
4. I just feel numb. I don't feel the pain of it. Then the facination when I see the blood
5. For the blood, and sometimes just for like...self punishment. I always turn the sittuation against myself...
6. Some do. No one I see in person though, just over the internet. The people I told in person told me they didn't respect me if I did it again. Stuff like that.
7. Yeah, had it sever times. Not acted on the urge though yet
2. Most days, often more then once a day.
3. I don't really know...
4. The release of pain built up inside, like suddenly being able to breathe easier... then panic if there is too much blood, but the pain is very comforting. Like I'm finally able to control when I hurt and who hurts me.
5. for the pain
6. a few friends... and not really, they either want me to stop and get help, or give me advice on the best things to use.
7. Quite often, sometimes more serious then others. More and more recently.
1. Mostly in the evening/night- that's when everything really starts getting to me.
2. More than i want to, it depends, but usually i can't fall asleep without considering hurting myself first.
3. I don't keep track of how many times, but a lot, i have scars all up and down my legs,and arms. I have some on my stomach, hands, and feet too.
4. Anything from relief to absolute joy depending on the situation.
5. I don't feel pain when I cut, i block it out. I love the blood flowing, i've always loved bleeding. Although the blood is just like a perk, i cut for relief of my emotional pain.
6. Anyone close to me does know that i once SI'd and that i've worked really hard to get over the addiction. I've only had slip-ups about once or twice a month since the beginning of February and i've mentioned some of those slip-ups but not all- some i've felt like it's better to heal all on my own.
7. I've had suicidal thoughts for many years, at the end of February I attempted suicide and that is when I ended up getting help. I made it to a point where I no longer had suicidal thoughts but that happiness is gone. I'm really working on not acting on my emotions since it only hurts me more.
2. A lot, especially now.
3. Endless. Have 10-12 very visible scars on either arm, but there are far more invisible ones.
4. Peaceful, and that I am in controll again.
5. I cut to have something to control, every other aspect of my life is uncontrolable, but my cutting is something I can control.
6. No, I have not told anyone besides DS. I doubt they would be able to help or handle the knowledge.
7. All the time, have attempted suicide three times or more. Right now suicide is often on my mind.
Guilt, loneliness, anger and frustration (usually with myself)

Release of negative emotions, or that I'm punishing myself
5.Did u cut for the pain or the blood or something else?
