I cut for the first time when I was 13 in the end of 7th grade. I started cutting a lot in the middle of 8th grade, then got myself to stop (though relapsed about once or twice a month). Then my cutting got really bad in 9th grade when i was doing it around 5 times a day, and thats when my parents got help and I have been in DBT and treatment since then. I am in 10th grade now and it turns out I have all the symptoms of BPD and GAD.
