-- Posted by Anonymous at 2:09 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 I want to stop cutting, seriously. I have scars on my legs, arms, and stomach. I've had enough. I actually haven't cut in over a month, and before that it had been many months. My problem is that it still crosses my mind. I did it for four years, so I know I can't just put it down and forget. But, fuck, I'm tired of it! I saw a girl who had scars on her arm, then one day gauze, and it's so fucking triggering. Every time I see her I want to be like "So, how did you get away with that living in the dorms and all?" -- Posted by SpeakYourMindMember at 2:09 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Ok, then stop cutting. -- Posted by guitar lover at 2:10 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 wow -- Posted by Silver Shinigami at 2:10 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 if you want to stop then stop and don't start any of that it's too hard crap. Find a strong willed person and have them check your arm,legs...etc. if you want to stop then stop. -- Posted by hooray for rootbeer at 2:11 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 PM me if you want to know how to get your cutting under control.  I finally do, and it's great.  It's easier than you may think. -- Posted by LaWhoren at 2:12 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 stop cutting have sex -- Posted by BleedingSteelWings at 2:12 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 a girlfriend of mine used to do that. I urged her to stop and it worked. -- Posted by Aliboo at 2:13 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 I would suggest professional help, a support group, the like. i'll leave you some stuff to look at treatment and counseling; American Psychological Association -  locator.apa.org - counseling services locator AAMFT -  www.therapistlocator.net - counseling services locator Befrienders Worldwide -  www.befrienders.org - treatment and counseling services locator SAMHSA -  findtreatment.samhsa.gov - substance abuse treatment center locator SAMHSA -  mentalhealth.samhsa.gov - mental health services locator AACC -  www.aacc.net - Christian counseling services locator For Help with SELF-INJURY: S.A.F.E. -  www.selfinjury.com - "S.A.F.E.

I love twloha and may some day grow the balls to buy a shirt. -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:18 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 To all the people who say it's "easy" and to "just stop". Shove it. You have not the slightest idea what it's like. Cutting yourself once or twice because your boyfriend broke up with you or mommy told you to clean your room doesn't mean you know what it's like to be ADDICTED. There's a fucking difference. -- Posted by speardream at 2:49 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Well, I know you can't just stop something that you've been doing or so long, It's like smoking and the nicotine is pain. I also know that these emotions can't stay bottled up. If you ever need any one to talk to, PM me. And if it's not me you'd like to talk to, maybe a close friends, parents, someone you trust. I wish you the best of luck and hope to be hearing from you soon.
