Thanks so much. I hope that you are coping and managing well. I read your profile, and though I don't know you or much about you, my heart goes out to you. You are at that tender young age that you should be enjoying yourself and not having to deal with such turmoil in your life. I was just a bit younger than yourself when I began to cut. The reasons, though many still not resolved, were numerous. One of which seemed to tip the scale out of balance and still triggers me even today. I don't know how long you have been cutting, but take it from me - if there is ANYTHING you can utilize instead, please do. I don't have any answers as I 've struggled with it every day for 30+ years now and I don't know how else to really cope. Please try not to fall into the vicious cycle I did so that you're never able to find your way back. Looking back I remember how much I missed out on because of all my secrecy with my thoughts and actions - all the isolation. And yet, I seemed perfectly "normal" to most anybody else. If you ever need to talk, I will be here for you.
