Hey there,

If you can really think and identify the causes of your stress and depression, then you're already halfway there... cutting doesn't make our problems go away, it just lets us stop thinking about them, even if it's only a little while. But the root problem doesn't go away. Don't let cutting define who you are... it's not something that's part of you but rather something that you have imposed on yourself that's hard to get rid of. If you could talk to somebody, anybody, about it in real life that would help too.

I know that what I've said is probably not of much help, but I just wanted to let you know that we're all here for you!
