its so hard to stop. it really does become an addiction.

Youre even more beautiful for living through this, and its just made you a stronger person<3

I've tried to stop.Yet I did it deeper than I've done before.It's not too deep,but it'll scar up.I've tried to stop by everytime I wanted to,I would scratch my arm,I do it on my stomich by the way,anyway my arm would turn red and burn like hell and would hurt more than cutting.I want to stop.I hadn't done it for a month or two,but then I did something bad and got depressed and did it again.I don't know what to do.Sometimes I don't want to live,but I don't want to die either.I need help.

I'm 18 I've been hospitalized 4 times in the past two years due to cutting my wrists so deep that It wouldn't stop bleeding. Its an addiction and I've almost died from it.

@TheKo56 hey, its okay. i feel alone all the time as well. now i wouldnt say i understand or feel the same way because evryone says tht and to me it never felt like they meant it, but trust me, i want the best for you. i used to scratch my arms, then it went to burning, and then cutting. but in my opinion the burning hurt worst. i think were all afraid and i dont want either of us to hav to fear anymore. i wish tht u (and me) could get put of this. basically wht im saying is tht ur not alone...

i just started cutting today. when i was in 5th grade i would just sit in my room with my music and if i felt like cutting id just scratch my arm as hard as i could and now tht ive started middle school my life turned worse. i still hav friends and stuff but nothing feels right. school is okay but its home tht i fear most. its at my house where im unwanted and miserable. people say u can get addicted to cutting but i nvr knew id get addicted so fast but it helps. it makes me feel better i guess

@twinklestormer god doesnt exists

[twinklestormer]

Why does God make us go thru these horrible things?

[moonflowersglory]

the cut is always the shock, the bood is the really calming part for me, but im clean for two whole months now, goodluck to everyone else trying to break the addiction, its rough. what ive been doing lately to stop myself is brush my teeth, its odd but its the best i can do so maybe try it. And please... please if youve never cut or burned or hurt yourself before and you read this... please dont start. kids are not accepting and everyone will give you a bad time if they see your scars

I've never cut myself, but I do burn myself on purpose. It always seems like life is too challenging to go through. I feel alone, like no one is right by my side. I'm afraid, afraid I may cut myself soon :'(
