((((((((((((((((((candybear)))))))))))))) I am so sorry about the scars that come from cutting. It is a constant reminder about what overwhelming feelings you have had to endure. Sometimes it just gets so overwhelming for us that the only thing we can think to do is to cut to alleviate that pain. Yes it is a poor coping mechanism but until another replaces it then it is hard to not use what we have for so long. I am sorry that it has happened. Please don't beat yourself up anymore about this. Maybe you could try and come up with some better coping mechanisms that you can use when you are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe a bubble bath right now is not as soothing for you.

I am so sorry that it happened but want you to know that you are struggling with huge issues and sometimes you use an undesireable outlet. You are worth being treated nicely especially by yourself. Please take care.
