i'm not good at giving advice, but you shouldn't feel stupid about cutting yourself. i do the same thing, trying to hide my cuts, feeling like an idiot, like, what the hell was the point of that? it's just not worth making yourself feel like crap all the time. i know easier said than done, it's hard for me to do it. man, i was trying to make you feel better, but can't think of anything good to say. just hang in there, if it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one. and you shouldn't feel stupid. you'll make it out.

NEVER feel stupid about sutting - you wouldn't believe how many do it....BTW, I've been off all my meds for 2 weeks and holy shit you should see my left arm

thanks for telling me i am not alone i have cut my self tonight i think i am bad as i have 2 d.ghtrs and i am scared they may copy if they see it

I can understand that you're worried about your kids seeing this, but you shouldn't EVER feel stupid about cutting. You're far from being the only person who does it.
I mostly do my cuts in hidden places too, in fact, the only time I feel stupid about my cuts is when I do them in a place they may be seen by someone, 'cause that's the last thing I want

I am terrible at giving advice, but here's my 2 cents.

No, you are not stupid. If anything is stupid, it's this world for being such a messed up place for people who do SI to exist.

I usually feel better afterwards myself - whether I fall back on to giving myself bruises or cut. It is only when someone seems to notice that I feel bad.

You are in my thoughts & prayers.
