Getting Help

Getting help for cutting is like leading a horse to water.you cant force them to drink it and nobody can force you to stop cutting they can only provide the resources to do it. There are several ways to help stop and as it is an addiction you need to occupy your mind so that you think about cutting less. Join a club or a sport. or if your not the socialite than take up an art class where you can express yourself freely. FIND AN OUTLET THAT YOU ENJOY OTHER THAN SELF INJURY!! that is what's key! What has helped me (although i am not completely recovered as i still cut sometimes and i still think about it) is therapy. I dont always talk about cutting or what triggers it, i talk about everyday life. I also have taken up boxing which has let me release some of the anger and tension i have pent up inside. Also i enjoy writing, i keep several diaries as well as this blog and it allows me to say what i cant or wont say to anybody else in person. My point is to get involved in something and if your not that comfortable around people then write or take up art do something you can take pride in! well thats all for this topic

Dealing with friends,family and people when they find out that you cut

Being able to admit that you do cut to friends and family is difficult. I dont know my father and i just moved back in with my mom 2 years ago so i didnt know what to say. My guidance counselor knew i wouldn't tell her so she called and explained. You can ask a trusted teacher or adult to do this if you cant most will be very understanding and help. Telling your friends is a different story. When i told mine they had a range of emotions but that is to be expected. Some cried some were angry and some totally flipped out and yelled at me none could understand why i did it. most people who dont self injure cant comprehend why someone would do this to themselves only we can understand and try to explain it to them. My advice to you is to choose who you tell very wisely. for example if one of your friends loves to gossip you probably shouldnt tell them. Also only tell a few people at first and as you get more comfortable with people knowing your seacret you can tell more if you choose thats all for now

The first cut

The first cut definitely was not the deepest nor the most thrilling. it was the tiniest nick on my wrist that only drew 2 drops of blood but after that I never turned back. As time went on little nicks no longer satisfied me, i craved more. I began gaining confidence doing longer deeper cuts watching the blood stream down my wrist. It became addicting, like a drug and i found myself lying to everyone around me. Turning down an invite to the biggest pool party of the year, telling my doctor i was to cold to take my sweatshirt off, the lies just became overwhelming which drew me to the blade once again. throughout the week i would spend over 50 dollars on razors, bandages, alcohol swabs, gauze , anything to help me hide my dirty little secret.

Let me introduce myself

Hello, thanks for taking the time to come check out my blog. First off I will not share my real name for privacy reasons so you may call me S.I.G (self injury girl). Let me start off by telling you a little bit about the true me. I am a 15 year old female residing in Braintree massachusetts, i have one real friend and a few fakes, i get good grades for the most part, and oh yeah i cut myself. I dont look like the type of person to do this because of all the steryotypes out there but i do and thats why I've been able to get by without notice for so long. But one day the one true friend chrissie found out. in spite of what i asked her she went to the school guidance office. At first i was furious with her but now i realize she was right to do it.My mother was notified and i was given trteatment i fought against it the whole time because the truth is i didnt want to stop, it was a way out of the mental pains that I felt, a way to let all the pent up anger and hatered out. i have over 165 scars and every time i cut the number grows. I've tried treatment centers and therapy but i can never bring myself to tell the doctors why i do it. So thats my introduction to me if you would like to know more feel free to ask i take pride in answering everyquestion with complete honesty
