But does it not occur to you that it cannot possibly make anything better?

But does it not occur to you that it cannot possibly make anything better?

it makes you feel better. Maybe it's the endorphin rush, or maybe it's that it's redirection of pain or it's the release of it... or maybe I just like pain like that... I don't know what it is, but it makes you feel better...

but warning to all of you who think that you want to start this: once you start its hard to stop. Once you make that first cut, you're trapped. You won't believe me of course. You won't believe me that it's addicting. If you're already thinking of cutting, chances are you know someone who cuts or have heard about ppl who cut. and you'll never think you'll be as bad as the next person. You'll think that you can stop. You'll think that the addiction will never happen to you. I was like you. I thought that. And, like everyone who thinks that, I was wrong. Once you make the first cut you're sent on a downward spiral... and you may never get back up.

anywho, had to rant there... but believe me, the best thing to do when you have a friend who cuts is to let you know that you're there for them. Don't say it like that though. Just treat them like you would any other friend and make sure that they know that you luv them. Don't tell them that they should stop. I mean, you can say it every once in awhile, and sometimes point out some problems with it, but chances are, they know it already... but they can't stop as easily as you think
