unusual question, HUGE TRIGGER, read at own risk

Well, first of all, I gave in. I couldn't stand the pressure of being "good" anymore. I'm having a massive anxiety attack about possibly having to leave the hospital tomorrow. I had to go into work today for a bit and even that screwed me up.

But here's my unusual, triggery question: Do any of you who have been sexually abused cut on sex-related body parts? I've been finding my stomach to be a good place for it lately, although the 3 latest are on my arm as usual .... but sometimes I feel the urge to cut on my breasts, or points further south. A T once told me that's a characteristic of the sexually abused .... I'm just curious if I'm weird or normal or what. I hope this isn't too disgusting a question. Apologies if it's out of line.

Candy,

I haven't been sexually abused, but I do know that a lot of people who have been do cut on their sex-related body parts. I have heard of that a LOT. You are NOT weird by any stretch of the imagination. It's very understandable why you would want to cut there.

I'm sorry that things are so rough for you

((((safe hugs)))) ONLY if you want them

All I can say right now is, you're not alone! Only differance is we burn not cut.

Candy:

I don't think you're weird. I think it's perfectly understandable. I've been there too. I am sorry that you're having a hard time right now and I think you telling your T was a good thing. I like my arms best, but can understand the urges in other places. I have cut my breasts before. They are big and I hate them.

Take Care sweetie,
Kimberly.
