I keep reaching out to people online and stuff to try and stop but I never do anything about. I’ve never gone to anyone who is in my life or sought real help. I think I like what I’m doing to myself. I cut a lot and I’m not ready to give it up for some other coping mechanism that I know won’t give me the same rush. I don’t think I want help I just want people who get what I feel and why I do this but they only people who know what I feel and why I would cut myself are others who do it

I was there for a long time. I loved it and it takes every ounce of self control to not doing even months after being clean. There is nothing quite as gratifying as that feeling. I only stopped because it go so bad I couldn't control it; I started cutting because of the relief it gave me then I moved on steadily to worse things. My wake up call was when my parents stopped by unexpectedly and found me passed out in a pool of blood with a rope around my neck. I had hung myself and it broke. I knew I had to make a change or I WAS GOING TO KILL MYSELF. It's good to go to others who understand how great it feels. If you aren't ready to change it's ok. But keep in mind that it can be dangerous.
Keep the wounds clean. Send me a private message if anything comes up

cutting is a struggle. i understand. and in some way, i feel like i’m in your shoes. maybe not exactly. but, idk if i want to get better either. i am comfortable with this. i’m used to it. and you’re never alone as long as you got your demons screaming at you. idk. i feel you. and if you need to talk, i’m here.
