A few weeks ago I told my parents about my depression and that I cut and stuff. I used to cut on my arms, thighs, calves and hips but after telling them they started constantly checking those body parts to make sure there was no new cuts. But since I still couldn't stop cutting even tho I really wanted to because I fear that unless I stop my boyfriend will start again (he's been clean for more than 6 months) and I really don't want that I found another place to cut on that my parents wouldn't see. I started cutting inside my mouth on the inside of my lower lip. I loved it. I loved the pain that was different from my normal cuts. I also loved the taste of my own blood. Now I've stopped cutting but I just want to know, am I the only one who's cut there? Does anyone else cut inside your mouth?

Possible trigger:

I have never cut the inside of my mouth but when I feel stressed, I bite my lips and pull the skin off and such; I don't know if this is any like what you're talking about.... I hope you find the will to stop soon.... good luck!

Personally, no. Are you getting any help right now?

I can't say I have, but like you, i'm constantly thinking of new "hidden" places. Hoping that you will be able to begin treating yourself kindly. *hugs*
