I have been cutting for several years now, and each time it seems to get worse. I just recently had to get stitches (again) and was hospitalized (again). I cut on my arm so it is visible. I have a lot of old scars, and now the newly healing ones. The problem is that my daughter came to me last night with a scratch on her arm. She told me that she thought since I did it to feel better that she would try it. I am so ashamed. What have I taught her? I try to quit, but then I get so lost and I "need" to do it again. I guess I feel like I had to admit to this in writing. Thanks for "listening".
