I just stopped cutting myself, but it's hard not reaching for a sharp object. After a while, it becomes an addiction. I'm trying to take my mind off the things in life another way, like writing stories or drawing. I still can't help but wanting to cut. When I do, Instead of reaching for a blade, I just scratch my arm and try to take my mind off it. I haven't told anyone about me cutting. Not my parents nor my friends. I'm afraid of what they'll think, but I know I need to tell someone. I know I have to tell someone sooner or later, but I won't, for now at least.

first of all, I think it is absolutely amazing and inspiring that you’ve stopped cutting yourself. You may not realize it, but that takes a lot of strength to do. try your best to celebrate the victories- even if they are small or seem insignificant.
I don’t know what I have, maybe I’m just making it up, or sabotaging myself, but I feel dead most days. I recently started digging my fingernail into my palm, and it was only until a friend noticed that I realized I was starting something I might not be able to stop. I wish that there was something I could do to make it all better...but unfortunately, I can’t. All I can say is that I do care, and that I am so deeply sorry that you are going through this. Keep trying to do better, each and every day, and maybe there will come a day where you’ll no longer have to scratch yourself or think about picking up a blade. you can do it!
ReplyIt's amazing you managed to stop cutting. I know it's hard to stop, I've been there before. But it gets better! I'm glad you have stopped and I'm also glad you're thinking about telling someone. I would never, I'm too much of a coward. I'm cheering on for you on the other side of the screen! You overcame the storm and now it's just a drizzle until you reach peace and sunshine. Hang in there! <3
