Let's try why SHOULD you quit, just for a minute.
No more scaring up your body
No more having to explain where new cuts come from
No more 'coating' the problem with another problem
No more having to hide your emotions
No more hurting family and friends by your cutting
Best of all, no more abusing your body.
There's many reasons NOT to cut, just like you feel there's many reasons to cut.
I used to be a daily cutter... Have over 50 scars on my body from cutting. For the past 3 or 4 months, I haven't cut at all. I've thought about it, but haven't acted on it. Why? Cutting was helping me with my anxiety, it was making me feel relief, it was even helping me sleep better at night. So why quit? Because every morning I'd wake up and my problems were right there again and I'd have to cut again to numb them out for a short amount of time. You see, your problems don't go away because you're cutting them out, they are only covered up for a short amount of time. They rise up again the more you avoid the actual problem. By facing the problem as it comes makes the problem go away A LOT quicker, I promise you this. Yes, it's hard facing problems on lifes terms instead of your own terms, its VERY hard. But it can be done, I promise you it'll make you a stronger person. Please, please, please think about what everyone has said here. We care about you and your well being. I hope you can come to terms with everything and sort out your problems without the help of a blade. Best of wishes to you.
