When does it become a problem?

[Calliecat19]

Hey everyone,

I really have no idea what i'm doing here but I guess i'm just curious. I've been cutting since I was 12 but it was never serious..I didn't suffer any abuse and I was a happy child..I just started it. It went away and came back every now and then through high school...But now that i'm at uni, it's back and I can't seem to shake it. Before I felt like I had control over it. I could stop whenever I wanted and I only ever did it when I was extremely stressed or angry.

But now things seem different..I'm doing it every night without a reason. I don't understand what is going on. It's like something switched and all of a sudden i'm doing it every day and deep enough to cause the blood to drip.

I guess what I want to know is how do you know when you should be worried about it? I feel the change but I still feel like my situation is nothing. Like I would be doing something wrong to see someone when I have a pretty good life.

Why can't I stop?

im not positive but it might have something to do with big changes in your life or something like that. im not gonna tell you that you need to go see someone about it but it helps alot to talk to people. i also dont always have a reason to cut but do anyway every night and if you feel as though its becoming a problem or doubting that you will not be able to stop then it probably is becoming a problem. dont worry about seeing someone because you think you have a pretty good life everyone has a right to get help.

hope this helped at least a little :)
