I've been cutting for about 2 years now. It all started when I found out my dad was cheating on my mom with my best friends mother. I was the only one who knew, and I couldnt bare to tell my mom and watch her heart break. I watched their marriage fall apart right before me, and never did anything to stop it. I still blame myself. I was too stressed out and couldn't handle anything... I was extremely emotional and couldn't take the pressure of being in my own house. The first time I cut myself it wasn't that deep... but after a while... just little cuts didn't do it anymore. Oneday I cut a little too deep, right on my wrist. I slit through a main vein and passed out on the bathroom floor. My advice to people would be not to EVER try to releive your pain on your own flesh, or anyone elses, its not worth it. If you are addicted to it... like I was... please try to stop, its a terrible thing, and it really doesn't get you anywhere... thanks for listening. I wish everyone the best of luck.
