Several cuts

[LiTTleBrok3nDolly]

I have several cuts on my left arm. Bad time to have them since its summer but i did it anyways. 8 days ago, i put antibiotics on it and a bandage, those long ones that you wrap around your arm and they have healed rather nicely. You almost cant see them....three rows, more than 40. I broke a razor and used it and so now i use veet to save my legs but i still get to use my razor for my arms, i just have to give it back....even though im old enough to have my own razor. Its for my safety, bla bla bla. Why would i destroy the one razor i need? Dad says because my wanting to hurt can be greater than basic knowledge, or something like that. In other words i might have the urge to cut myself so bad that i might just use it. It works so well!! NOT DEFINITELY NOT saying you should try it, just saying it made me happy for a small portion of my life. My mood is very low, because im in the middle of loosing weight and my figure right now is big. I dont like it, that will be in another thread.

I guess what im trying to say is I NEED SOMEONE WHO CUTS TO GIVE ME ENCOURAGMENT TO NOT CUT FOR A LONG TIME just until summer ends. NONE of my friends cut and it gets really hard when dad says things in a way that makes it sound like he cuts but he doesnt. He didnt go through what i went through and ....i just need someone like me. So please help. :( I dont want neosporin to be my friend this summer, or the bandage.

The loneliness someone who self harms can feel is pretty unique, and that constant fear of someone figuring out why you're wearing jeans or a long shirt in the summer is pretty awful, especially for girls.

As for encouragement, of course anyone who wants to stop cutting can, you are no exception, but encouragement is no solution to all your problems. Do you go to therapy or anything (if you don't mind me asking)?

yes i do go to therapy and i have more than 10 coping skills. Im just sick of it all. Blasted....

Alright that's good. And hopefully you talk about everything there. And if you need to talk about anything, you can always message me, I think my IMs are on my profile... if not ask! I've probably been through similar situations.

Everyone in this forum will be able to understand you. What drives you to cut? Whatever it is you should try to keep away from it, it reduces stress a lot. You should also try to distract yourself whenever you get the urge to cut. Watching funny videos on youtube actually helps me (stupid, i know) XD. You could message me if you think you need help
