So I ended up cutting earlier in the evening on my arm & it was the 2nd time I've ever went as deep as I did. Well it was deep to me. It wasn't to the point of needing to go to the ER, but I will admit the cut is wide open. Open enough to see the dried up blood & if I clean it...you can see the white meat. I always wanted to cut deep like that, but never had the courage. I guess I was that upset or whatever I was feeling at the moment that it just happened. Is it crazy that I want to do more like it? I've even tried 3 more times & was unsuccessful 8(
Something about it fascinates me & I'm even more fascinated by the nice scar it will leave. Crazy? Maybe, but whatever. Last edited by darkpurplesecrets; Dec 15, 2011 at 05:22 AM. Reason: added trigger icon.... |

Did you need to cut that deep just to cut? Or for a reason so powerful that it drove the blade that deep? What about the cut, and the scar to come, fascinates you so? How does it relate to the reason you cut--or does it?
If anything about this felt significantly different, it's probably important to really explore it & try to figure out what's going on, do you think? Roadrunner ![]() ![]() |

I have been cutting deeper and deeper latly, but it has been because I need to go deeper to get the feelings that i used to get with shallower cuts

Hi sofragile, thanks for sharing.
I have had episodes of SI and for me I know when I am in that place, my head is playing tricks with me - that self destructive part becomes more powerful and takes over. Now that my head is more in control I really don't want to SI and the scars although minor, look alien to me. I wish I didn't have them. Do you know what feelings you had or anything in your life that has happened, that led to the SI? I don't know whether you have a T, but I think SI can be a hard thing to tackle on your own. Please keep safe and if the wound is gaping consider medical attention - Soup

Thank you all for replying. I think that I was feeling overwhelmed by thoughts & feelings that are attached to situations & people in my life. I didn't want to cry so I cut & my hand just kinda did it's own thing with how hard I was pressing the razor against my skin.
I have a T...actually going go see her this evening. If she asks did I cut I will tell her but other than that I won't bring it up. |

I'll try not to avoid it & keep you posted. I'm feeling a bit triggered now, but I'm not going to do anything since I'm at school.
