cutting

Simple answer; don't do it.I don't know whether you've ever cut before, but there's always a feeling of regret the next day, knowing you have to spend the next week or more hiding them from everyone, having to wear long clothes in hot weather, the 24/7 panic that someone will find out. The stinging in the shower and the scratching against your clothes, it's uncomfortable to have and only really makes you sadder. There's also the worry that you maybe cut too deep, that it'll scar forever and then you can't hide it. People will ask questions and one day your kids will see and they'll think it's okay for them to do it too.It's not worth it lovely, so whenever you get the urge to do it I strongly suggest that you do something you enjoy to distract yourself.

If i were you i would get myself away from anything that you could use to hurt yourself. I'm guessing you have done it before, so i'm not going to say things like it won't help or whatever because you've probably heard it before. To take your mind off of it just do something you enjoy doing, even if it's just listening to music or watching a dvd.

Have you cut before? If so, I'm sure you know how addicting it is and the fact that you're still resisting right now is amazing! Believe me, I know how hard (impossible sometimes) it can be to not cut. But all you have to do is distract yourself. Get yourself as far away from the blades as you can! Please sweetie. Stay strong<3 If you've never cut before then you obviously don't know hoe addicting it is. It's a drug. It's a coping mechanism and you will always grow to depend on it. I promise. My advice: DON'T START. I wish I hadn't made that first cut EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I look down at my arms, now scarred and grotesque, and I'm ashamed. It's embarrassing when people look at them and ask what happened. I hate having to lie, and I hate it even more when they know I'm lying and give me a disgusted, horrified look like I'm some sort of freak. It's not worth it. Believe me. So if you haven't ever done it, that's great! You'll never know the pain of the addiction. But if you have then I'm truly sorry for whatever made you start and the fact that you still want to :'( Please try to stay strong. It isn't worth the scars hun. Scars are a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. You may NEED to now, but in 10 years what matters now, what seems like the worst hell, and what causes you the most pain, will be nothing but a memory if that. But scars? They take years to disappear. And that's if they ever do. I have scars from 4 years ago. They weren't even deep cuts, but I still have the little white lines lacing my skin. Do you really want to have to explain those to people for the rest of your life? Your family? Friends? Boyfriends? Husbands? KIDS? That one always gets me. If my son or daughter ever came up to me and asked me why I had all these marks, I would have no idea what to say... I know I wouldn't lie. When you lie to children, there's something wrong. You shouldn't, especially not about things like this. So please hun. For your future kids, for your family, for your friends, for anyone whose ever cared about you, for ME, don't cut. I love you bb<3 Feel free to message me if you ever need to/ want to talk. I'll always listen and help the best I can! I hope this helped... If not I'm sorry :(
