cutting... Options

[xcocoaxmuffinx]

I hate to bring this up, but does anybody cut themselves?
i think it goes here....its a mental health topic.
The reason I'm posting this is because I suffer with it and have been for 8 years [gosh i was like 10] , so if you need to talk to anyone-im here.

I personally haven't really cut myself, but my friend used to cut and she would make designs and stuff. As "cute" as the designs sound, it was terrible. She was addicted and every other day she'd have a new one. It scared me to death because I wanted to help her so bad but there was nothing I could do that someone else hadnt. She doesnt anymore, but she has scars.

Sadly.. those become scars. May not be thick scars, but later on, you'll see all her cuts. They'll be lil lines that are lighter than her skin tone. Thus catching a lot of attention later. Your secrets become exploited over the years.
