I know its hard to cope with the loss of friends and loved ones and the abuse you may have been through...but there is a way to over come this way we thought was coping.
I love to draw and write and take pictures. When you think you are gonna cut....draw it out. It dont have to be perfect. Find that one friend that u trust and talk to them about it and draw. Youll be surprised what you draw. Thats your sub conscious telling you what you really feel and why. It wont make sense and you shouldnt try to make it. Tell your self while looking in the mirror that you are worth it and that cutting can only make you ugly. Everyone has reasons to do it and im giving yall reasons why you shouldnt. I did it. I suffered for years with pain. Rape....loss of mom and brother....being used by people i didnt like....and it was all because i didnt like myself. I felt dirty. And then i learned to embrace me. I can do more things now than i ever thought i could. But it took me a long time to find it. You have every reason to stop and not do this....what is your reason? Why is that your reason? I dont look down on yall for anything....i just wanna help you outta the hole you fell in.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, that must have been awful.
Thank you for this post, this has made me feel confident not to do it and resisting the urge to. I have a lot going on right now and I was gonna cut but now I have seen this, this has got me thinking. So thanks. :)
