<font color="red"> </font> i cut words into my skin as a teenager just to express myself, like i scratched death on my arm, and a heart on my hand, etc.

a couple years ago i started cutting when i felt like i was falling in love with my boyfriend. i really didnt have another way to cope with the intense feelings. i started with a push pin at work, and then i moved on to razor blades, kitchen knives, and eventually double edge sharpened hunting knives. became deeper and deeper, as my tolerance for the pain did too.

but anyway... intense feelings mainly trigger it for me.
