Cuttin my Face Off!!!!

COUNTRESSS
COUNTRESSS
Ive got this weird obsession to cut my face off. Like the movie Hannibal Lecture. Where he takes the glass to the gay guys faces and peels it off. Well the guy lives but he looks like Skelutar. I bought me a Carpenters Knife yesterday. Ive been practicing on my arm to find out were my thresold for pain is. My goal is to cut along my hairline arond my Hair ling and just start peeling my face off.I was sexualy & phsically tortured from my X husband put guns and knives to my face i have the knife cuts. And i get hit on everywere i go but im scared of men so i dont go outsie unless i half to. But my 40th Birthday is coming up. I was a Domantrix for 2 years and a lingre model for 3 years. So im vain about my looks im missing my bottom 3 teeth no partial and ive cut my face about 50 times and over 1,000 on my left arm. Im scared i bought the Carpenters Kife yesterday. So theres no chicken out here my birthday is December 20 and i;ll turn 40 gosh i thought i was going to die when i turned 25. So noboby believes me that i'll take it that far and some really dont care they say they dont know what to tell me. Well maybe one of yall can talk me out of it. I wont make a move for 3 more months. Thanks

please think about this, im sure your a pretty woman.
you dont want to ruin your looks just for a moment of madness.
i cut so i know abit about what your going through but you can hide your arms and legs, you cant hide your face?
you dont want to be permantly scared for the rest of your life do you where EVERYONE will see, everyone will ask what happened, what made you did it etcc and im sure you dont want or need people asking questions
im here if you wanna talk, please dont do it x

I really think that would be very very bad. Bleeding on the head is almost always way worse than most other areas.. You could very well die. Not only that, but I really don't want you to do that... Instead of letting the pain that you've been put through continue to hurt you, just let yourself be good to you. I really hope you don't do it...

i use to have idea about skinning myself just to get out of my body but thats insane. Without this sounding really out of order you need to get help you need to admit yourself to the hospital to get professional help and advise to keep you safe. you are precious and worth the investment of the drs that can make you happy Please help yourself by seeking the help you deserve x x x

You really want to be like the man from Hannibal?? The cripple who gets eaten by his own hogs?? No, I'm sure you're a beautiful woman and you're worth more than that. Scars don't define you, they say that even if it's not easy and even if your ways aren't the best you are strong. You're strong enough to stop hurting yourself, if you want to be. I've been cutting for over a year now off and on. I won't lie, it gets me through and I wouldn't want to quit. but it's so hard to cover up. blahblahxo is right, do you really want all those questions? It's not going to make you forget, it could only make things worse. You can get through the pain another way. I'm here if you want to talk.

Please don't cut off your pretty face. I have also wanted to cut my face before. What happened to you was horrible. You didn't deserve that, and you don't deserve more pain. I know it might help in the moment, but after that you might regret it and it could make things worse. Do you go to therapy? People who have been abused usually benefit from therapy.

Something about the number 40 isn't there? I thought I'd have it all figured out. That I wouldn't have the urge anymore to hurt myself. Why do we continue to hurt ourselves even after the people in our past have long stopped breaking our bodies? Sometimes I feel trapped mentally. Trying to express yourself through a face without skin sure would keep people away....but you would still have the same thoughts. Just added physical pain. I hope that you are able to read these letters from people who care for you. Strangers some of them and your sister it sounds like to is aware of how beautiful and stronge you are. If only you could see yourself through her eyes. I hope this may help you.-K

Flaying the skin from your face can and most likely will kill you. Please reconsider your options. For you to even bee thinking about this means you are in a very dark place, you need to get help.

I suggest you really think about this. You'll most likely die if you cut your face off. It's not so much the vanity that I'm concerned about. You don't have to live with physical beauty, but you kinda have to have a face to live, I would think. Besides, the dude from "Hannibal" had a special effects team do all that
