Q: Hi, I'm 13 years old, and i recently started cutting. Don't think " I'm a physco Freak " or whatever you want to call me. My Friend introduced me into it. She said it really helps. so one day i was really angry, i was crying and all, and i cut all up and down on my arm/wrist. To me, i felt better, but just the next day it hurted. From then on, i have been cutting myself all the time when i am mad. the last time i did was actually last night. I use " Scissors , Razors , Saftey Pin , or any sharp objects round the house " . my mom saw my arm by acident, and i told her i fell on a side walk. well my friends are so worried about me. they think im ganna end up killing myself, because i almost did. i really do hate my life even if i have friends and a boyfriend. i JUST hate it, and i think sometimes i was just a mistake, that i ruin other people lives. well i dont know, if i should continue, and and my friends upset, or not, and stay here. I DONT KNOW?! its just really hard to stop though, cuz im so addicted to it. EHH` . what should i do ? thanks . if you wanna i.m. me on AIM ; BlinkBabex33 .. or you can email me ; BlinkBabex33@comcast.net
Hello dear. I don't think youre a "psycho freak" or anything like that, because I went through the same exact thing. Although my mom did find out about my cutting and sent me to therapy. I honestly do not regret anything I did. After I stopped cutting I realized that if I didn't cut, then everything would've probably built up and I might've killed myself. So, in my opinion, cutting saved my life.
Cutting isn't the easiest thing to quit. Although it's best if you do quit, for obvious reasons. You said you were addicted. I was too. I quit during the summer, and I still get urges.
I know you don't want to hear this, but I think you need to talk to someone. Whether it be your parent, or a good friend, or you could even go to therapy and get help by yourself.
If you don't want to talk to someone like that, you can always IM me, and I'll listen. Or you don't have to. My screenname is persephone485.

Good Luck hun

Thanksz
