View Full Version : I'm an idiot.

I feel stupid when I post in this but I only do when I feel I need to.
I don’t cut on a regular basis, that’s just not my thing. I usually like my cuts to heal first before I do it again. It’s been a long time since I cut and just didn’t stop doing so. Like, I think the summer of 2009 was the last time I had an actually cutting session that ended in more then 10 cuts in more then one place. But yesterday, while I was waiting for a friend of mine to show up, I just couldn’t stop myself. I’ve never used a razor blade before because I have a large number of pocket knives but I somehow ended up with a set of them. I had one in my purse just in case I ever needed it(Razors always seemed way too cliché to me). I was feeling really depressed so I just kind of cut the top of my arm. Now let it be clear, I haven’t cut my shoulders or the tops of my arms for two or three years(I ended that when I got a job and moved onto more easily hidden spots). How it felt was really weird compared to what I’m used to so I did it again, only this time I did it on my shoulder. I did that about eight times, then my wrist a few times, and the tops of my arms a couple. I only did it because I couldn’t stop. It felt really weird to do it. Like, the difference was more addicting then I’m used to. My legs have over twenty cuts on each one from the day before as it is. Now I’m screwed because I can’t wear long sleeves and work in a restaurant where I have to openly reach my arms out in front of customers to grab stuff. I’m a complete idiot. Really stupid. Beyond stupid to a point of no return from the pit of stupidity.
I’m sorry for posting this. I really am. No one even has to reply. I just…really felt like telling someone.

Awww Lexi, I'm so sorry to hear about his, I hope your ok now :hug:

Are the cuts on both arms? If it's only on one then you could always do what I do and just put a bandage round one arm and make up some exuse as to why your wearing one. Today I went to work after some time off and I had fresh cuts to hide and like you I can only wear short sleeves, so I put on one of those sprained arm bandage thingies and when the guy I work with asked what I did I just said I punched someone, and clean got away with it.

Hope your ok, and dont feel stupid about posting, this is what VT is here for.

:hug: from Nat.

It's tough sometimes. We occasionally just do stupid stuff. I know that when I cut yesterday, I didn't even think about it. I just did it. Of course, it was in an obvious spot so that wasn't smart. But that's besides the point.

And like Nat said, try the bandage trick. If you have both of the arms scarred, then if you go quick you should be fine. Putting bandages on them might also reduce the chance that the customers will notice.

I can't do the bandage thing. See, I think people kind of know I do it. I mean, I don't really thing they know I do it still but it's hard to miss the scars. Under the florecent light of the counter they are kind of noticable. I'm pretty sure the bandage thing would just give it away.

I know that's what VT is for. I just feel like I'm complaining or something. I don't normally tell people anything because I don't think they care. It's just paranoya.

Sorry x_x

I'm sorry :( Perhaps someone else here can help you more. I just wore long sleeves today and tomorrow I think I can go by with saying my cat scratched me.

A friend asked me tonight where ONE (She only noticed 1 cut on the right) cut came from. I told her I was being abducted by aliens and fell into some bobbedwire that was going along as well. It threw her off and distracted her. Ended the discussion quick.

seriousley try hiding them with something, even if you think they will notice and know, they might not, If you dont wear anything to cover it up then they WILL know whats going on. At least if you try there is a chance that you can get away with it. :)

You don't have to be sorry, we all care on here
I dont really know what advice to give you, but I know what you mean about waiting for the cuts to heal before doing it again, I do this quite alot.
And I know how it feels to not be able to stop, I had a session like that the other day.
If you let them heal up a bit maybe you could use some type of make- up or something to make them less visiable
Sorry this isn't much help
Feel free to drop me a message if you want to talk
