Always have been, always will be. I haven't done it in a few months but no matter how long I go without cutting it will always be a part of me. The worst thing about it is that everyone I know knows it. Even new acquaintances know because of these hideous scars on my arm. Actually, the true worst thing about it is that I don't do it anymore. For four years I cut myself continuously. I wore a jacket everyday because I had low self confidence and felt naked without it, which turned out to be a good thing once I started cutting because I could hide it. I eventually stopped wearing jackets and needed somewhere else to cut out of plain view. I started cutting on my upper thigh and on more than one occasion I would cut on my chest or breasts. I started biting myself when I would get upset because it hurt like I wanted it to and just left a bruise as opposed to a life long scar. I stopped cutting myself because my friends talked with me and helped me through things, but the urge to hurt myself always seems to arise. I am writing this because I need help. I need a reason to stop hurting myself and I cannot find one.
