explanation...

What is a good way to try and explain to my friend that's trying to stop cutting is hard? She said that she knows it is but she don't want to see me hurt but jst need sumthing simple to try and sum up the reason!?

If you look online you'll be able to find a lot of information about the endorphins released during cutting which can cause an addiction. You'll also find personal stories you can show her from other people. Although at the end of the day someone who hasn't ever self harmed can't really understand the addictive side but if she offers her support take it. :)

Bring her on here and show her how many people cut on here and are a TRYING to quit. (Give me good rep Amanda!)

FullyAlive is got a good idea, ive tried to explain to people why i cut and all that, some are to stubborn to listen then they are nasty at me. But if shes willing to listen just tell her and hopefully she can understand. Cutting is kinda one of those things were if you havent ever cut or been there... you dont fully understand it. Good luck!
