The reason I quit

[Grey Squirrel]

This is a message of hope to those of you who cut I suppose. I used to cut, as some of you might know. I cut my wrists, my legs, and hips... I did it because I was sad, depressed, and because I could. I enjoy pain. But I stopped.

I did so for a simple reason... Yet such a confusing reason. Love.

Love is honestly the most powerful drug out there. And if you are lucky enough to truly experience that, you'll know what I mean :) Oddly enough, my girlfriend cut as well. Pretty seriously too, but not in a life threatening way. That's where the love thing came in. I've known people all my life who cut, guys and girls. And not to be mean, but I didn't care about them. That was there life. But when I met this girl... Her beauty and perfection completely changed the way I looked at things. I couldn't stand the fact that she was hurting, both physically and mentally, that my life changed. As silly as it sounds, my new life goal was to change her life. I wanted to make her the happiest girl in the world, and I still do! I literally do everything in my power to make her life as perfect as I can! And her seeing me cut had the same effect on her.

We made a promise to each other that we would never cut again. And we have kept that promise, I believe totally out of love. And even if she ever decided to move on to another... I will never break this promise. Because that's how much she means to me :yes:

Sounds stupid and sappy I know... But, it is what it is.

hey i quit too :D my reason is different though. Last night was the last time I did from 4-5 months of not cutting. Last night I felt the urge was too strong, so i tore apart a razor and took a scalding hot bath and made 7 small lines that I tried to not make them very deep. I felt better, and realised that the one time, the last time was all I needed. I threw away the blade. That was the first reason, the second reason was because my boyfriend told me he would tell me to go to hell and have nothing to do with me for a while because it seemed like that was the only way I would quit. Well I did, and honestly I do feel much better.

I'm glad love worked for you.

Love is also the reason I tried to stop, unfortunately, it was also the reason I relapsed over and over again.

i won't stop anything for anyone. when you do that it's never sincere. doing something for yourself, now that's sincerity.

Not stupid but sweet. For me love won't work to stop me from cutting because everytime I even start to think about finding someone my first thought is what can she possibly see in that thing everytime I look in the mirror? Even if someone liked enevitibly it would out of pure pity. So i've given up looking, and the cutting side of it helps me to cope with a few things in life.
