I hurt myself.
I have been cutting myself for years, i have never told anyone in my life, until now. I've been bottled up inside for as long as I can remember. I want to stop, but I can't stop. I can't even count how many cuts are on my legs.
I forget why I even do it..but it makes me cope. I'm a girl, and I'm seventeen. I've been doing this since 6th grade, and today, I am in 11th.
I think this originated from elementary school, i was bullied badly, i was tormented most of my childhood.
I've been thinking about calling a hotline of some sorts, but i don't know..
Thanks, ill try. Ive been thinking about telling my father but i don't know how he will take it and it scares me.
I'm a 20 year old guy, i started cutting when I was 11, i didn't tell anyone till i was 18, 3 years after attempting suicide. Getting out of high school has helped a lot to decrease the amount of urges. I still think about it almost daily, but ive only acted on the urges during times of heart break. For me, hitting the punching bag for a half hour 4-5 times a week, helps a lot more than therapy ever did. I'd recommend any form of exercise. also, I WOULD NOT be alive if it weren't for marijuana.
