I've been a cutter for 14 years now and recently I got really angry with my T. Well, I was sitting there in group therapy wanting to cut so badly and I remembered what a nurse at the psych hospital suggested. She told me to try marking my arms up with a red marker...instead of cutting. Well, I didn't have a red marker, just a black pen. I started marking up my arms with the pen...and the cutting urge went away and I felt that pride that I know all too well that results from the cutting. I was shocked and amazed that it worked! Of course, people were asking me what I was doing. They wouldn't understand, but it helped me out a lot.
