And you cannot blame yourself for "messing your life up" by not telling!! There will be so many people who have gone through similar things who weren't able to tell either. It can be so much easier to think that now than to do it at the time/anytime!! Rationality can go completely "out of the window" when you're left with coping with the experience/s of something so wrong/so traumatic.
But I do have to really commend you on speaking out about it now/on here!! Total respect!!
And your life doesn't have to remain "messed up", now you've found a "voice", now you can get understanding/help/support with what has gone on for you, now you can start moving forward a bit more, now you can look towards having a "future".
You're not alone, there will be a lot of people who will really understand how your past has effected you and who can support you with that.
So I'd say that the most important thing is for you to reach out and get that help, whether it's through using a crisis/hotline, through sharing with other people with similar experiences, through your doctor, through another therapist........just keep on talking. You so deserve help with what you've been through/with what you're going through. You really do!!

thank you, it took me ten minutes to read this because i couldn't keep the tears out of my eyes.i appreciate everything you said,at the moment i don't have any time or money to get that kind of help, i actually have done the helpline thing before, but it didn't go well, the lady was nice but she didn't have anything new to say, she was just concerned about the cutting, and that i might do it again, it left me feeling ashamed of myself. i don't know what i want people to say,its like im waiting for a miracle to heal a broken bone, its like nothing will help
