Here are my photos that I’ve taken from the last few months since I’ve started cutting.
I know a lot of people who cut and a lot of people who look at this site, even those who aren’t cutters look at this site. Some find it “cool” and others find it appalling. But I find it helpful for me just to know that there are so many people out there who are dealing with the same things I am. Just knowing that I’m not alone in my ordeal makes all the difference. Thank you.
I think that there is not enough understanding out there for people who self harm. And I think that this site is an eye opener for those who always wondered how people could do this to themselves.
Why don’t people believe you when you tell them you can’t stop, only to go on by saying that it’s addicting? It’s like taking a long awaited drag of a cigarette, or the taste of beer apon your lips. With each swipe of the blade or every prick of a pin I feel my pain slowly slip away, although I know it will soon return. For one moment I feel an indescribable pain pour out from deep inside. I feel all my anger, and frustrations pulling away from me, escaping me. For that moment, I’m free.
