I just want to thank you so much for this thread. I'm gonna save this and show it to my 'friends' - the ones that think cutting is okay to make fun of. I'm not always great at putting how i feel into words (spose thats obvious) so a million thank you's! Maybe now they'll understand its not funny.
I have this saved on my computer, i cant remember where i got it from, but i'v had it for a long time.
its a good thing to help people to understand, i sent it to a friend of mine that couldn't understand why i cut, and after reading it i think he understood alot more then before..thank you for posting it, i hope it helps some people!

Hmm I wish I'd known all this before I started... although I'm not sure I would have believed it. Was useful to show to my friend to try and explain it abit I guess, helped him understand.
to be honest I don't think I would have ever believed that cutting would take over my life the way it has done, I would have never have believed how addictive and bizzare it would all get
I don't think any of us do in the beggining really....

I've seen this on youtube or somewhere, tis very powerful and very true, damn its so friggin true its scary O.o
I'd heard of cutting and knew people who did it, i never thought i would tho, i used to be like "wtf how does it help you!?! How can it possibly be a coping mechanism?!?!" And then.........
The part about scanning people is very true, scared me when i first realised myself doing it, i even started doing it to people i've known years O.o
Woah tis all a bit to deep for me lol
This is so true, I've never read anything so true. I always have to have something sharp in my hand, I've spent at least 50 dollers on first aid stuff in the past month, I'm always scanning peoples arms, and lieing is allll i do now but i never did before all this started. Thank you to whoever bumped this recently
