Cutting is only a temporary release, and every time I look at my scars, I want to cry. They will be with you FOREVER -- try to remember that before you do it! I have a physical disease now that requires lots of blood drawing, IVs, etc, and all the medical professionals ask me about my scars. I feel ashamed when I have to tell them about it.

Really -- it's not worth it. And I "third" the idea of the safety plan -- it's worked for me before. Good luck.
