wow, I don't really know what category to put this under, so I guess it works under friendship.. kinda. Anyway, I started cutting, I don't know why but I did. I don't want to, but it's really addicting.. 0.o so it's hard for me to stop. Only on of my friends knows and I just met him and I like him alot.. he cuts to, so I feel conferdable talking to him about this.. he doesn't do it so much anymore but I wonder if he is worried about me, I know my step brother is.. he knows to. Well he doesn't really know he just thinks I do it and he knows that I have a BiG possibatly of doing it.
When I look at my scares.. I cry, and I think 'is this really who I am?? is this really me??' cause I don't seem like this kinda girl who would do this.. I am real caring and nice and funny.. so I don't get it.. how do I stop.. do you have anything to tell me about what I wrote? just anything, please.. I wana stop.
--Thanks.--

okay, the textbook answer is therapy, but thats not the one id say... look, make a list of what it accomplishes verses what it ruins...like swim season if you do it on your thighs, shorts and capris, short sleeved shirts...the fashion list goes on, but if that doesnt do it for you, what about friends family and everyone you love? you have to lie to them everyday, think about how hurt youd feel if your best friend kept a huge secret from you forever...lastly, cutting leads to other things, it is so addicting and a lot of times it is about stress so cut stuff out of you life as opposed to yourself. being around people that dont really care or people that think that cutting is okay only makes everything worse. the best way i think to relive the whole cutting addiction is chocolate, run, chill with your good friends, the ones that care about you, listen to soothing music and think about yourself for once, think about how much everything hurts and write about it, write about how you feel (cliche i know...) before and after you get the urge. finally, tell someone, its going to be hard and if you are like me, you will bawl your eyes when you tell, but its so worth it. if you really want to stop, its the only way, it starts with isolation but it wont stop that way. expirience changes the world doesnt it? look, you know that this behavior is hurtful, i can tell you do, so use the scary expirience to help other people, tell them that it doesnt work, help them through it. its so hard, but you have to stop now or else you wont ever stop.
