Cutting.

Hello, i am norma. im fifteen. ive been cutting for 3 years. i want to share my story all over the world because i believe in a thing called hope. online support groups are amazing me to me, i wish more people would join in them. ive tried to stop cutting but nothing has worked but i can tell you that my friends are a big support. cutting is not a way out, its a bad habit. im a big supporter of TWLOHA. i believe that recovery is possible and so is treatment. taking the first step to recovering is the hardest but it gets better i promise. if you feel the need to cut, talk or text me. message me for my number. i will always be here wether i know you or not. i love helping people. and i will try my best to help you in any way possible.

Do you have any advice for people who know cutters? I have a friend who goes back and forth through depression and cutting. I want to help her, but I rarely know what to do.

Thank you "There is Hope" for posting your honesty. I've been cutting since I was 20 and I am now 37yrs old. I have trouble controlling it and hiding it. Making new stories to cover it up is getting difficult. I am not sure how to stop either. I pray and read my Bible alot which seems to help a lot, big time. When I get stressed i want to grab a knife and start carving away. It feels so damn good for awhile. I feel so very alone in this mess. I feel very messed up inside and can't seem to get rid of this dirtiness inside of me. I guess thats why I cut. Shame! I am here to learn, listen and support. Peace to the other survivors out there. I believe a lot of cutters come from a sexually abusive background. Atleast thats what I've learned so far. Hope this helps, Cy

I'm 37yrs old. I'm big into cycling and swimming. Ocassional bodyboarding when I can get to some waves. I enjoy being outside in the woods, mountains, and ocean.

Hello, I feel a little odd because I hear so much about people who cut themselves are so young. I'm in my 30's and I began cutting myself a couples years ago. I went through a lot of things in my life as a child I was abused physically and emotionally by my father up until the age of 21.. I felt like I didn't have a voice. My dad never really allowed me to express my feelings and I took that into being a adult. When I cut myself for the first time I felt like all that was bottled inside was released and I began to do it everytime I became stressed. I choose not to share this with people because I feel weird and really I don't want help. I just need to share my pain with others who can relate to how I feel..

Hello Norma, I am so glad you have finally realized it is not the way out - I really feel proud for you. This problem is known to me, as I am a psychologist, and I helped a lot of cutters and got them back to normal life. I wish you the best of luck and happiness, and I am also here to talk for everyone who needs it.
