Caitlin
My name is Caitlin and I’m twelve years old. I suffer from severe clinical depression and an eating disorder. I’ve been cutting for nearly two years, but when I was much younger, about seven or eight, I used to scratch at the insides of my elbows until it bled. I’m not sure why. My SI didn’t start off very bad at all, but it has developed. At one point, about eight months ago, I had absolutely no room left on the underside of my right arm. But I got sick of having to cover my cuts up, so I went and got help. After a while of that, I ended up stopping for five or six months. I was very proud. But I have now started my SI again, only on my legs. I am trying to stop again, but it is very hard for me. I am going through a very rough time in my life, and I SI as a release of pressure.
I am only bothered right now to put up the most recent picture I have of my left thigh, but if anyone would like to see other pictures of my arms, or would like to talk, my e-mail is AcrylickTears@hotmail.com.
