I can relate to you, though our reasons might be different, it's pain all the same. I started cutting at the age of 11. I'm not almost 20 and it's still something I struggle with. I've learned to take it day by day and sometimes it's all I can do not to fall back into that. I wish I could tell you it's something that will go away in time, but frankly, I'm not much of a liar...
I'm in nearly the same situation as you are. Iv been cutting for a long time,I'm 18 now and i still do. Iv been in therapy for most of this year and I;m slowly gettingmy life back. When i say slowly, i mean slowly. BUt as they say, nothing that is worthwhile is easy. I really hope you are doing ok. I have no supportfrommy family, who know everything by the way, and am getting through this by myself. I hopethat you have someone to help you through but if you dont, know that it is definately possible alone. Wishing you luck in your battle- x
I started when I was 17...I am now 29 and I still have urges to cut myself after 2 yrs of being cut free. I have an 8yr old daughter and she is who I focus on when I have those urges, I never want her to see my cuts again and ask me what and why they are but in no means does it cure me. Find your focus, and celebrate each day that you fight the urge and win.
I cut every day for six years. Through intensive therapy I managed to break free. Keep holding on. Keep breathing. Keep working. I wish I could tell you the thoughts and urges will go away. I stopped on February 11, 2008. I still think about it every day. Just do your best, that's all anyone can ask of you. Keep breathing. Keep working. Take very good care and know that you are never, ever alone in this.
I've harmed myself since I was around 7 or 8, and I have cut since I was 11. I'm nearly 20 now and today marks the longest i've ever gone without cutting - 29 days. I've finally realised just how much my friends are there for me, and how they'll listen to whatever I have to say and won't judge me, and that's what helps the most. I'm going to win this battle. I have a long way to go yet but they have faith in me, which gives me faith in myself. I've never had faith in myself before. Hold on, keep strong, and trust your friends to be there for you as much as they know you will be there for you. Have faith in yourself. If I can do it, you can do it. And now I've managed almost a month, I'm determined to keep strong and not slip back. We're in this together, any of us who struggle with this. I wish you all the luck in the world. If anyone ever needs to talk, I'm pretty good at the listening thing, just not so good at the part where I do the opening up and the talking. My email address is psu8e4@bangor.ac.uk please email me if you need someone, I know what it's like to feel alone and I also know how much I appreciated it when I was shown that I wasn't alone. Trust me when I say I will always be there for anyone who needs to talk, to rant, or simply to write to me about nonsense to take their minds off things for a while. I'll do everything I can to halp you stay strong, and thats a promise. Emma xx (anytime, dont forget that.)
this is almost identical to a secret I sent to postsecret
i had to read it twice to realize it wasn't something I had written
I'm scared if I keep going like I am, that this is going to become my secret too.
But I don't want it to be like that.
I regret that I ever started cutting. The reason I started seems so silly now, but of course the reasons have changed over the 4 years I cut. I've gone about a year without cutting, but my urges haven't gone away. I have difficulty taking responsibility for my cutting without beating myself up about it. I know I can't blame other people, but it's even harder to stop blaming yourself. I guess having scars that serve as a daily reminder doesn't really help either. I've just started telling people, and with each person I tell, I feel less guilty and less likely to cut again. Just take it one day at a time. The thoughts might never completely go away, but it will get better.
It has been almost a year since I cut, and i had the biggest urge today... I gave in :'(

I've made it three years without, and all of you can, too. I'm 26, and I haven't even wanted to in at least two of the past three years. I've never felt more free than I do now.
It's crazy to see people that have done it as long as I have. I've done it for over 8 years. I've attempted suicide 3 times and have scars on every spot of my body. It's a huge struggle but the last time I cut was april of 2009. There are people here for you. Talk to them.
I regret giving up on trying to help her after the 3rd suicide attempt.. she just got out again for the 5th that I'm aware of.. she was my best friend as a child. I want her to recover, but I had to move on.. there was nothing else I could do for her, she has to want to change I couldn't stand to see her do it to herself again.
Four years ago yesterday I was admitted to a "behavioral health" hospital for cutting among a few other things. Its been about 3 years since I cut. It is a day to day struggle. Its always on my mind. I want the "quick fix" for my problems and stresses, but have found other ways to cope. I can't tell you how many times I've found myself in stores right in front of the tools about to purchase them, but have just walked away. Keep up the strength. I know you have it! =)
I love you Rose
