I started cutting over the summer, and it does nothing at all to make me feel better, the negative darkness is trapped under my skin and I keep assuming if I cut my arms it will leave.. it doesn't. I'm terrified that my family will find out. I hit my head and arms, but not to the point of brusing, and when I run into something and it hurts, I smile. Just another typical twisted teenager for you... its to excape, and patheticly its for some attention, although I keep my sleeves down a lot of the time. In my mind I see people dragging me away and cutting me to the point I bleed all over. But I smile and cry at the same time... like I said, pathetic..

There's nothing pathetic about it. It's always a really complicated situation. Growing accustomed to (and even sometimes enjoying) the pain is all a nasty part of it.
The forum is here for everyone if you need to work things out... feel better soon.

MW, I read your profile, seems that your stepmom is supportive? Do you ever talk to her about stuff?

[MonarkWing]

Thanks guys, and she's supportive, but can be critical at times, and this kinda thing I doubt she'd take very well..

[Sannah]

Which one of your parents can you reach out to then? You shouldn't have to deal with this alone.

[MonarkWing]

I don't know how to tell them, my mom's supportive, but I know it will hurt her to see me like this, so I don't want to be another troubled child.

I know how you feel, but I don't have an answer. It may seem that you are a troubled child but at least there's support. Some of us on here have little to no support, except on here when we reach out. But do what every you can an do it for you, not becuase it's what others want.

MW, you must tell your mom. She deserves to know. Please continue to keep us posted.
