I do it for all the above reasons mentioned...it all depends on the situation...

If I can't handle my emotions and they become too powerful, I cut. If I'm feeling guilty or ashamed about something terrible that's happened, I cut. When my anger becomes too much for me to handle and I feel like I'm gonna hurt someone, I cut...you get the picture. It's all of these reasons and so much more. I have begun to romanticize my cutting, at least that's what my counselor has said in the past.

Cutting to me is very sacred...I would never do it for attention. I would never flaunt it, even though I feel proud when I do it, but I do not hide it either. I do not feel shame when I cut...not like most people do...

Aah, to cut is wonderful for me...
