What's one more cut...

[FuzzyLittleNightmare]

OK, this might sound weird, but does anyone else think that it would be easier to not cut again if their scars were wiped away?

I cut today and before I did it I tried to talk myself out of it...telling myself I needed my scars to heal, I needed to be able to wear my dance uniform without having to layer jumpers and hoodies over it. But I looked at all of my scars and all I just think, "well...what's one more?"

I know that if I went back to when I first cut I wouldn't do it again...knowing all of the heartache and misery it caused me. I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way?

You know.. I think I've been waiting for a long time to see this.. I 100% agree, and I bet many if not all self harmers would agree with me in saying that seeing the scars.. cuts.. what you've done to yourself triggers you to cut.

I look at my legs.. arms.. stomach.. all the time. and wish the scars were gone, because I know if they weren't there, I wouldn't cut. It's not fun wearing sweaters and such in 80+ degree weather, that's for sure.

I would totally take back starting cutting. As you said.. if I knew what it would cause me.. never.

I think I kinda just summarized a lot of what you said, but I agree with you, so I guess that's okay, hehe.

It's not about the scars anymore it's about learning to cope. One more scar is one more opportunity to be better that you passed up.
