So, i used to cut. I stopped because it bothered my signifigant other and mybparents found out, and they took it bad because they want a ‘perfect’ daughter which i can never be close to because perfect is an obstacle for all, not just me. Anyways, no one believes i have stopped and everytime theres a cut on my they just assume. Oh, and big thing about me: I cant stand assumers. And i have attempted suicide a couple times before. (Only my boyfriend knows of it) and i told my boyfriend about this website, which i suppose was a mistake and now he believes i am at it again. I may be, i dont know…

Cutting can be overcome, like any form of compulsive behavior. But it isn’t easy, because you use it as a crutch to stand on. It’s a way of changing emotional pain into physical pain, but in the end, it just makes things worse. Love yourself, don’t hurt yourself.
Okay so I am basically in the same boat, except for the assuming part.
I have tried to stop for others many times, my boyfriend and my mum. But it will never truly work until you want to stop for yourself. Tell them to support you through this by showing you why you SHOULD stop, instead of just telling you to do it.
I don’t see the point in stopping, I never have and probably never will. But there is no point trying to please others when you yourself are not ready.
Good luck!
I do not see a reason either. It helps me. I feel trapped, cutting helpa
