I have been hurting myself since I was seven years old. I am now twenty-four. I started with scratching, then it escalated to knives. Scissors are what I have used the most. It’s been a little over a month since I have cut. I have tried to commit suicide three times and last year at Christmas, I overdosed on the meds that had just caused me to have a seizure (to hurt myself, not to die) and I spent three days in the heart ICU. If my dad hadn’t found me when he did, I would be dead. I am writing a book about cutting called, I Was A Cutter. If anyone has anything to contribute about their experiences or how it feels to cut (anonymously, of course and to be used with your permission) or just want to talk, e-mail me.
