Cutting Is More Than A Cut.

[galigator8509]

I have been self injuring ever since my freshman or sophomore year in high school? Which is about four or five years ago.
And at first, I basically did it, just for the hell of it, I wasnt really depressed, or upset, I just wanted to do it, and see what it was like.
Well, afterwards, I ended up having to deal with a lot of stuff my four years of high school, and I mean a lot.
Things no one should ever really have to deal with, but unfortunately it doesnt work like that.
So all of high school I cut, and I had friends that were worried about me, and a teacher that knew I did it, and cared deeply for me, along with an amazing guidance counselor.
Well, ive been out of high school for over a year, and in that time period I met an amazing guy, who makes all my worries disappear!
Cutting isnt even something I think about really, but I havent completely stopped, and the sad part is I know I should, but I have no desire at all to do so.
I love scars, and the blood, and I just love the marks on my body, they make me feel so much better, and I just cant help but feeling free.

I just dont really know what to do.

Well first of all I would like to say I'm really happy that you have found someone that takes your worries away. You could utilize the fact that this guy takes all your worries away and use that as not only a distraction, but as ambition to stop because I'm positive he doesn't want you to cut and neither do I. Cutting will never solve any of your problems, it's just a momentary source, but only makes your problems worse, it's very addictive.

I know you want to see blood, I know you like the scars, but High School is over now and you have an amazing guy in your life now. Try to use every little bit of your time to get away and have plenty of things to occupy your mind as well as your hands that way you don't think about it as much. I know those temptations aren't just going to go away, but if you're consistent and you are determined enough to stop you will. Cutting is one of the worst addictions and it's not easy to stop, but you have support and from the sounds of it a really great guy in your life. Enjoy it! You can find your relief through life, no cutting. I know you can do it :) If you need someone to talk to I'm always here to help.
