So, I stopped cutting about three months ago... haven't cut since... unfortunately, I was watching YouTube a few days ago and realized that my mouth was bleeding. I was flossing, because floss was nearby... I knew what I was doing and just continued with cutting my gums with the floss... It bled for about three days afterwards... I guess its done healing now... I didn't even realize what exactly was happening... and I realize now that it wasn't event he first time I did it. It seems I didn't even really stop cutting at all... I just subconsciously switched methods... ugh...

Yeah, until you work on the underlying issues one or another of the addictions will be used in order to cope. Do you have a therapist?

That is going to make it hard to get better. Why don't you like therapists?

That is a long story... and there are several reasons... I had one when I was 7, for conduct disorder some other BS dx. I don't remember most of it... What I remember is that my parents would talk with the guy and I would occasionally be asked if I agree with whatever or such. It was all a load of BS, because I was lying. The school had taught me to accept whatever I was accused of and made me their scape goat.\ I don't remember seeing a T after my first suicide attempt which was a few months prior to my 8th birthday. And beyond that, they can be dangerous. How do I know I won't be going to a new Dr. Cameron?

hurting yourself can hide itself in lots and lots of sneaky ways. i think it's really great that you were able to identify this way that you were hurting yourself. do you feel motivated to stop? you will have to be diligent in observing your own behavior to get it stopped. i hope you will stay safe. thanks for sharing this.

motivation is a strange thing. I don't understand it. I'm not really motivated for anything.

You are 18 now and not 7. This is a huge difference! Seven yr olds are powerless and don't have the thinking abilities that an 18 yr old has. Therapy also has progressed quite a bit in 11 years.

I am glad that you realized what you were actually doing with the floss. Maybe you will be more self aware now. I agree that you should give Therapy another chance. It has changed alot in the past decade. You are older now and would have more input in what is going on. If you did not like it after a few weeks, no one could make you stay. I had bad experiences with therapist. One was more into herself than she was my therapy, pne was too sick and having to take too much time away for her illness to benefit me, and one was just rude if I did not agree with him. I have not been to therapy in a while, at least a year. I am trying to find a nice therapist that is really interested in their work and has the time I feel it will take.
 Good luck in whatever you do.
