Cutting is like an addiction like drugs are addiction. You can never stop when you want. I've been cutting/carving for 3 yrs. It feels so good but I can't go on like this. I want to wear short sleeves. Ugh..Also I could go to a mental ward. I'm not going to tell my therapist because she will kill me..What should I do?

This may be the first time I've posted, and really completely understood what I was talking about.
I've been SI (self-injury) free for almost 8 months now. I understand what you're saying about it. I know it feels great, it lets everything out, it's just your thing. But it's not good for you. About a year and a half ago I was put into therapy. First once a week, when that wasn't enough, twice a week for 4 hours a day. And now it's just an hour and a half once a week in group therapy. Plus medication monitoring. I want to wear short sleeves, too. But odds are, even when you stop, you'll still not wear short sleeves that often. My scars will last my lifetime, and that's the punishment I get for doing what I did. But it's really best to stop. And you can't do it on your own. I know that for my entire life, whenever I get stressed out, I'll go back to that razor.. it's just a matter of being able to hold back. You need help. You can tell someone in your school (counselor), and they'll get you started somewhere, or you could tell your parents, or your friend's parents. Any way you go, you need to get help. You seemed like you didn't want to get hospitalized, but that's probably the only way for you to stop. You need to learn the healthy way to deal with things, and that's the only way. I know you're all thrilled that I'm finally done. |
