Now that I have tried doing it another way I think about it. I want to do it just to see it. Im afraid I will go too far but kind of want to push the limit to see what I can handle. Before it was safer because I couldnt go too deep but now I dont want to have a safety guard anymore. Im not saying I really wanna hurt myself badly, its just now I think about this new way of si and I want to do it again and again

I cant stop it. Ive already cut twice today multiple times both times. theyre not bad but i never use a razorblade and its like im mesmorized. its easier and quicker and pleases me more.

i keep cutting and im not really even upset i just do it to do it. confusing.

I can relate to what you're saying. Please be very careful, there is a line that when you cross it there is no turning back, and it goes downhill very fast.
I crossed that line recently, I know.

There's really nothing helpful I could say right now without sounding like a huge hypocrite. Sorry!

no. i talked to my preacher friend. he was worried a few days ago but he knows im not suicidal. he said go for it if it keeps me safe from other things and doesnt risk my life. to do it and be creative and thank god for him making me unique and not afraid of self-expression. my preacher said to embrace it not hate it.

Do I understand that right, your friend told you to embrace hurting yourself??? Is he serious??? Self harm has nothing to do with expressing yourself, all it is is self destruction.
Instead of telling you to "go for it", he could/should have helped you come up with healthier coping skills.

I am so mad right now. That "friend" has no clue what he's talking about.

hes known ive done it for years and has helped me before. but idk he said and i quote from a text:

"make it a prayer. talk to God about why you feel better. Thank God for making you unique, creative and not afraid of self-expression."

"as an act of defiance, as an act of asserting your independence in a suffocating situation, as a way of fighting back and staying alive...then go for it."

"Make it an act of art, an act of creativity, and act of prayer to God. A verse. A cross. A word of praise."

Hey,

I know what you mean, when I was cutting I found it to be very addictive, almost like getting a new tattoo. I cut all up the inside of my left forearm. On my left chest I cut three slash marks for each failed relationship. Now that I don't cut anymore I still have to see the scares, sometimes I wish I could have found a different outlet.
