I haven't cut in a few months, three, I think. It's not like I want to go back to that, but I kind of do. It's like I don't know who I am with out this. Same with not eating. I'm finally eating healthy and for some reason I want to go back to that.

My biggest problem is not knowing completely who I am with out it. It feels like part of my identity and I know that's not normal.

Do you feel detatched?
If yes, that is a common sign of depression caused by chemical and hormone imbalances within the brain.

Id suggest seeing a counsellor or a doctor or talking to a trusted adult.
Harming yourself never actually fixes the problem, it just gives a temporary relief, and sometimes not even that (i used to feel guilty and weak about 10seconds after i cut so it never helped me at all in the end, but i still got stuck in the cycle).
Get yourself some help, and try to find something in your life to distract you whilst the problems are being dealt with, like a sport or an interest or friends or something like that.

I don't even know how you cutters do it.

I'm too much of a pussy to cut myself so willingly.

i'm not sure how i did it myself to be honest.
I remember sitting there in an R.E lesson with a penknife just slitting my hand open further and further without feeling anything.
Thinking of it now i wonder two things:
1) how come my teacher didnt notice
2) how the hell did i do it??
