it seems like i dont even have to cut because i need a reason, or in the least ,have one.
its become an addiction for me,the cutting, burning and bruising.
it gets harder everyday.
ive cut burned and bruised myself, since i was 10 years old.
i dont know how to get out of it.

me too!! its because of the endorphins, the brain releases them when we feel pain and it can be addicting

I know how you feel. I'm like that, but we need to find something that makes us go on. The reason why I decided to stop was because of because I didn't need a reason and sometimes I was happy when I did. I hate the constant feeling of when I was going to be able to do it and sometimes I would cut at school.

The things that keep me going is I want to wear t-shirts, give other people hope, faith, the Butterfly Project, ability to tell the world that I'm not ashamed of the pain I have gone through, and so on.

If you ever need to talk I'm here for you hun.
