This is very strange for me to be writing something that I have no idea who will read, but it is quite liberating. I cut, scratch, and sometimes burn myself. Usually I cut with razorblades. I have many very noticeable scars on my arms that people are horrified when they see. I have started cutting my legs also, since it is less noticeable. I have told my family and been to doctors and therapists. Everyone seems to want to label it and tuck it away in a neat little package that isn't talked about. My doctor put me on medication and increased it since i haven't stopped cutting. He says i have anxiety depression. A nice, neat little label. "So why do you cut yourself Ju? Well... i have anxiety depression... oh..." This is the neat little label that i have. "She'll get better she is on medication. Don't worry. Just don't you dare cut yourself again." This is my sarcasm to what other people think. I would like to be in contact with someone else involved in this so please e-mail me at julietheroaringlioness@hotmail.com if you want.
