Hey melissa my name is elisa and I'm 17 years old. I saw one of the questions someone left you about her friend who used to cut herself. I can really relate to that topic. I used to be a cutter. I haven't cut my self in almost a year but I still have the scars to remind myself of the pain I was in. I look back and ask myself, why did i hurt myself instead of talking about my problems. I don't know. I guess I didn't think anyone would understand. If I knew there was a website like this, I know I could of prevented some things. Well I'm very proud of myself for not cutting in almost a year. Its very hard not to but if you put your mind to it then its something you can accomplish. Well recently I've had an urge to self harm but I haven't. I still think about it sometimes and I don't know who to go to talk about it. If I go to my mom she'll want me to talk to my therapist, if I go to my therapist she'll ask too many questions so I just want someones opinion. Can u give me your advice about how I can deal with my urges?

hope i helped . write back to mee and tell me if that advice helped.
