when was the time you carved something on yourself or cut and why

[fenrirdies]

For me it was friday, I carved kill in my arm because i felt like slitting my step fathers throat for complaining about me to his friends. I still wish I did it thst would have made my day ,on the other hand I not one for going to jail.

[LittlePaperStars]

I don't remember the day, but it wasn't that long ago.
I thought back on all the heartbreak I've experienced in the past and carved 'Love' in my arm. It wasn't that deep, and it's healing quickly. I can still see it though.

[xDarkAngelx]

The last time carved was about a week a go and I carved 'worthless' from my wrist to elbow. I thinks it's self explanatory as to why. The last time I cut was about 4 hours a go, but i'm sure it will be less soon enough.

[Bath]

I don't know how long ago, but it was "Slut" in my inner thigh. It's completely faded, now, though, thankfully.

Why? I felt like a slut.

[ShadowGirl]

A while ago I carved fat on my thigh because I was having trouble with my anorexia. More recently I carved die on my hip because I really didn't want to be alive.

[xdancing_for_rainx]

I think the last time I carved something was a few months ago, when I carved "hate me" onto my thigh. I was feeling down at the time, and just don't like myself in general... like, I feel that other people should hate me, and that I don't deserve love.
Or I guess if you want to count a more recent time, I went over "help" on my stomach this past week, because those scars were fading. But that's been there for a while... so yeah, not a new injury.

[Hopegirl]

I carved worthless on my hand and "perfect" on my wrist..not because i am but just to remind myself that im the completely opposite :/

[Kiss]

Few months ago, on my legs. I was under a lot of stress.

[RakshaMalayka]

Yesterday, i broke down and carved LOVE and FEAR into my thigh. Almost carved it into my arm, but jus barely resisted that. Im not exactly sure why those words, it was jus what came to mind....

[CyanideGoodnight]

I think love and hate about two months ago. I think love because I liked someone who I couldn't have... and hate because I hated myself. Then Life and Death, life because I was stuck living, and death cuz that's what I wanted to do, all carvigns done was on my legs where I do all my carvings.

[Magenta]

I carved 'ugly' into my wrist a couple of times to try and make it scar. Five days ago maybe? I was just feeling horrible about myself. It was almost someone's name but resisted that.

[Iris]

Carved "fuck" on my arm, because I was angry. I think this was a few days ago.

[PartyPoison]

The word "stop"
Which is extremly counterproductive, I dont want to stop anywayp

[Comatose]

I cut Tuesday night.... friend issues.
I cut the Saturday before that.... failed suicide, don't know what to classify him as - so a guy I know - his father almost walked in on me cutting, sooo I freaked out and it obviously failed.
I cut a few days before that - I carved 'FUCK YOU ALL' into my calf..

[Love.Hate]

I carved "HATE" into my thigh last year.. but its faded now.. i did it because i wanted to remind myself, how much i hated myself

[Megson]

I carved the word "FAT" in my stomach. The reason is self-explanitory. It faded, and I really want to recarve it, but I told myself I wasn't going to cut again. (Relapsing after three years of no cutting, felt like a failure...)

[Fiction]

Last thing i carved into myself i think was kill me into my thigh. It's still there slightly but i think it still has some fading to do :) i can't rememberwhy i did it, it was months ago now, because i wanted to die though i guess.

[Comatose]

Some people are saying past carvings, so I may aswell too :P

LIAR
Delanee
L (my ex bestfriend and I carve each others initial)

A broken heart with K.U above it

[Ambrosia]

The last time I carved anything into my skin was a few months ago, I carved Fat into my thigh, so whenever I got hungry I'd feel that and not eat.

[TheOneAndOnlyJack]

I've craved FAGGOT all over my body...

Arms, Legs. Chest.. whereever I could reach...

But luckily it healed over and haven't since.

[XxMurderedKissesxX]

First thing I carved into my leg was "Fag" Because I was constantly being bashed and abused for my sexual orientation,then a heart on my wrist,and lastly I carved rape into my arm

[dontcare97]

Craved LIAR into my thigh beginning of August. I feel like I lie all the time to everyone. I haven't since but I getting the urges from time to time.

[Magenta]

'Alone' and 'ugly' today. Alone because I'm losing everyone... 'ugly' (again) because I've discovered now that from wearing long sleeves in the sun all summer, I have a tan that ends at my wrist. Great.

[morbidmonkey]

2 days ago i carved "spoiled brat" on my hand because "i get most material things i want and i act ungrateful" (paraphrased) i just started to believe it

[Alexis goes Rawr]

i carved HATE on one hip and LOVE an the other but then put a big X right over love..... Not Really sure why well i guess i kinda know but i prefer not to think about it :/

[ryantombs]

a month or so ago i just carved the letter y into it for all the questions i want to ask but cant and why do i SH and 2 weeks or so i carved HATE on my right thigh because i hate myself and hate the situation i am and other hating things and then underneath it im carving one of those heart monitors with the lines and then its flat lining at the end signifying how one of the greatest friendships ever is dying/ dead....

[secretly_secret]

I have just been cutting. Months ago, the last thing I carved was "hate myself" onto my thigh. Gone now....

[AlmostHomeless]

i woke up with WHY carved into my belly a few weeks ago. I hope it fades soon. I have no idea why I carved it, or why I don't remember carving it.
