That feeling of the blade going deeper into my skin makes me feel sick…But at the same time its so much relief. The pain is such a welcome distraction…
It is easy to become addicted to a release such as cutting, but in the end you are the one really losing. Try replacing such negative behavior with something or someone that you enjoy… I know because I went through the same thing myself less than a decade ago.
For god’s sake, stop that! it really makes me sick to read those horrible things! how are we supposed to feel when we read how you hurt yourself when we are helpless to avoid it through the internet! something must be done so that you stop doing that, whether a professional or a best friend
People post here to express their feelings and to be understood. Sometimes a professional or a best friend can’t or won’t help. But when someone who has made through almost the same post here a comment on a post like this, the person who wrote this may feel understood and it will help him/her. Please respect the posts from other people, even if you don’t like it. Remember that everything can help for someone, or writing it down, or knowing someone cares, or being understood, this site can help so many people….
Well said Engeltje. I feel it is much easier for people to relate to one another on this site rather than trying to convey such problems or emotion to family, friends, or even “professional” help. At least here, many of us have been through similar feelings, and situations.
