Well I haven't yet but I do believe it is possible and I know that I will stop. I cannot see myself living like this for the rest of my life!

I know what you mean about cutting being about control. I cut to stay in control a lot of the time. But yeh sometimes I think 'at what cost?' because I do keep going but I am limited in so many areas, not least in my honesty. I feel I do live a big lie sometimes.

But at the same time I don't believe in thinking of SH as an external component, an 'IT'. I understand what you mean and I don't mean to sound like the devils advocate, but *I* decide to cut, it is always my choice. Sometimes, sure, it feels like the only choice, but maybe it will help if you see SH as a choice and not as something that is being forced upon you?
