Well, I just cut myself -- again. I need to control myself. But htis time I did something very stupid: I cut my legs which is overly noticeable. They are in straight lines which makes it even worse! I am SO stupid!!! Ugh!! I can't get anything right I need to just stop cutting before I harm myself but mostly my family and friends! My friends will leave me if they know that I will cut and I will hurt my family if they know that I cut too! I am seriously going crazy and I just can't take this c**P anymore!

Do you know anything about self-injury? It does not say anything about cutters being stupid. Maybe if you read up on why people self-injure, you will ae able to manage it better

Therapy is essential to overcoming SI.

Hello dear, I hope you are well today. I just saw your post here and you are certainly not stupid!! You are very clever and the fact that you harm yourself says nothing about your intelligence. I feel so sad that you feel you need to hurt yourself.
I was wondering - is there anything apart from your brother that may affect you? Like mom and dad's relationship, or their treatment of you? I hope you are feeling better today xxx |

You are not stupid, you are just surviving. It takes lots of effort to end the cycle. But I can tell you this, if your friends are true friends, they will help you if they can and if they have the mental capacity to help. You never know what friends and family will say in this case. It may suprise you. Try to work on your fears of telling people with a Therapist. It does help. Try and figure out why you do SI, it will take time it took me 4.5 years to find out, and after I dealt with it the SI stoped. YOU can do it. YOU are NOT stupid. You can do anything you put your mind to. and remember don't quit when life gets to hard, that it seems like SI is the only way out. Find new ways to cope, your Therapist can help with that as well.

Oh my gosh, you are so NOT stupid
 ! I feel that way all the time but it's not about being smart or not smart or self control or not. once i almost cut my face, and i think sometimes about how freaking glad i am that i did not do that. I hope you didn't cut too deep and it will heal before anyone notices. If you aren't in therapy, it is what you need. For some reason SI is one of the hardest things to beat. But i feel the way you do all the time;...but feeling about about ourselves only makes us feel worse and leads to more cutting. Hope you are okay... |

You should start trying scar remedies if you don't want them to be super noticeable. I hear certain vitamins and creams are good for healing up the skin. In the meantime, stay strong and consider seeing a professional to guide you through this tough time

YOU ARE NOT STUPID!!!! i am glad to hear you are doing okay right now.... i was worried when i read your first message because honeslty it is in times like those that you really truly figure out how you are going to do in the future. if you give in, thats just the counter rolling back to 0.
you can do this, i know you can. keep us all updated.
