As I said my only friends push me away making me feel as if I wasn't good enough for anyone. Did I mention that my mom was never home she was always out with her new boyfriend. So my sister and I were always home alone. That night I started to self harm. Every night I took a small ribber band and pulled it back as far as it could go then let it slap my skin. Thinking I deserved it. I still do.
After 3 weeks of banding late one night I took one of my moms new shavers out of the bag and broke it taking the blade out. I hesitated but finally I took the blade and swiftly sliced it on my thigh. The pain was addicting every slice I made, only made me feel as if the blood that was streaming was the pain and depression leaving my body. The blood stop flowing giving me a undying pain and misery. I sliced again noticing the silent tears flowing from my eyes. After 4 cut I hid the blade behind a crack of wood in a window panel.
I felt guilt inside of me so I swore to myself on that morning to only cut once the most recent cuts were scars. The swear kept up for 3 years but the last two years I have been cutting every other day.
