Harming/Cutting.

This is really hard for me to share this with you, But I think it will help some people who are harming their selves.

I use to cut my wrists. Not deep, but enough to give my self pain and scars. Why did I cut myself? Because it made me feel like human. It made me forget about my mentally pain for a bit.

I remember when I was really upset and fed up, I was in school, I grabbed the teachers scissors and hid them in the pocket and walked to the bathroom, I went into the stall. And cried. And harmed myself.

That day, I got addicted to cutting. I use to cut all the time. And I remember everyone asking me, why I always wore sweaters. I use to always wear long sleeves sweaters to hide my scars, I realized what I was doing to myself was wrong, and told my grandma. She gave me lots of support. She helped me stop...for awhile.

After a few weeks. I started to cut myself again. After a few nights later. I realized I was hurting my grandma feelings, Because I promised her that I would stop. I had so much Guilt, So I stopped. I been 2 months clean! <3

If you harm yourself in any kind of way, I believe in you, I know you can stop. But you will have to be willing to stop, to be able to stop.

If you don't know how to stop, Here are some TIPS below.

*Try the butterfly method. When you have a urge to cut, burn, anything. Draw a butterfly where you want to harm yourself and name it after a loved one, or someone that wants you to get better. If you cut, the butterfly dies. You have to wash it off. If it wears off (and you didn't cut), It is released into the wild to be free. Congratulations, You made it!

*If you can you trust about what's happening. This is the hardest things to do, but it's also one of the most important. Tell someone who can make your situation better, not worse. Try to overcome any feelings of shame, if only for a moment. All you need is long enough to get the words out. If you've chosen someone trustworthy to tell, he or she will care enough about you to focus on helping you instead of making you feel worse.

Don't be discouraged if your confidant's initial response is shock, fear or disgust. Many people who have never cut themselves can't understand why you would do something like that to yourself, but that doesn't mean they're unwilling to listen and be compassionate.

Request that the people you tell about your cutting keep the matter private. Explain that it will be helpful for you to know that the issue is being kept between just the two of you, so that you can feel like you're in control of your recovery.

Ask this person if you can talk to him or her when you feel like harming. Having someone to confide in when you feel bad can distract you from cutting, and ultimately speed your recovery. The request doesn't have to be elaborate - something as simple as "Would it be OK for me to call you when I feel like hurting myself, so maybe we can talk about it instead and I'll be distracted?" will suffice. Chances are this person will be more than happy to support you in this way.

*If you don't feel like you can talk to anyone in your life about cutting, call a hotline. 1-800-273-TALK (8255): National Suicide Prevention Hotline, a 24-hour

crisis line for if you're about to self-harm.

1-800-334-HELP (4357): The Self-Injury Foundation's 24-hour crisis line.

*Know that you are loved. If you can't come up with a single soul who loves you, then you're simply not looking in the right places. Someone loves you and doesn't want you to be harmed. There is good out there. There are people who care.
