It's bad, guys

[kyleenicole]

I started cutting at age 13 as a way to escape from the pains of my childhood, such as secrets I had to keep from others about my family, as well as being sexually and physically abused. I stopped at age 14, and now I'm 15, almost 16 years old, and I've started cutting again a few weeks ago. There are at least 15-20 cuts on both of my thighs, as well as a couple on my wrists and all scattered across my stomach. I look completely mutilated and I feel alienated from everyone because no one I know does this but me, especially in these areas. I was wondering, where do you guys cut, and has it ever gotten so bad that they were EVERYWHERE you looked?

You need to get back to that stage where you didn't S/h because cutting isn't the solution

I try not to cut somewhere if people are going to see it, I have cuts all over my body and i look a mess
None of my friends know about my self harm, neither do my parents. i feel bad keeping such a big secret
from them

If you ever need anything, I'm here for you
Take care :)x

Thank you Isabella xx
It's not even that I have a "bad life" anymore, it's that I'm addicted.

It is very addictive, I started again after almost 2 years.
Sorry to hear about your past, but its good that you dont have that 'bad life' anymore.
If you've only recently started again, please try and stop before you become to addicted to it
It helps to keep yourself distracted and take your mind off it, its not always easy but the less you think about doing it the better.
Hope this helps
