Not Remembering...

[TRexbait]

I've cut for a while now, a year or so, and what I've begun to notice is that i can hardly remember the individual instances that I've cut, what's triggered them, etc, despite the fact that I've left a few scars. All of the situations seem to have just blurred together into one single idea and emotion that is the reason why I do this, to the point where I don't even know exactly when or why I last cut, I just know that I have these scabs on my body.

I'm not sure what I think I'll gain by posting this, but it's been on my mind for a while, and I just decided I'd share it someplace where I won't be judged or won't need to explain myself.

Thank you guys for being here, not just for me, but also for everybody you're able to help, and the catharsis that you help them go through.

It's the same for me. I can't remember every time i've cut, it'd be pretty impossible I guess.

I remember periods of time in my past, more than I remember how I felt at a certain point in time, if that makes any sense. You're probably the same. I don't really know what you're asking, but i'm just saying there is nothing wrong with it and it's probably perfectly normal :)

I get what you mean about remembering periods and not the individual events which define them. It just startles me how much so this is true, for me at least.

I'm not really asking anything. I guess it'
s more like just throwing a thought out there, just to see what others say, if they can relate, etc.

I suppose I can sort of relate a bit. I usually forget the reason or trigger behind the cuts but i dont usually forget the actual act of cutting for example i have some cuts on my ankle starting to heal and i cant remember at all why i needed to cut although i do remember actually cutting.
So yeah that's just my thought, but don't worry about it as Kathy said it sounds normal enough :)
