Julia
My name is Julia, I’m 17 an I’m trying to quit cutting. It’s been difficult and I’ve been doing it mostly on my own. This summer has been tough, it’s hot, humid and sunny every day here and I make my excuses for the long sleeved shirts. I wanted to share some pictures that I have because I don’t want anyone else to follow this destructive, lonely path. Hopefully seeing pictures will discourage anyone who thinks that cutting, or any form of self injury is a good way to solve their problems.
Update
These are of my scars. These are my little secrets. No one here knows about them. I haven’t cut in nearly a month, but I stopped seeing my therapist. She wasn’t beneficial any longer {or ever}. Perhaps I have low self-esteem, perhaps I’m depressed, perhaps there is something actually wrong with me; but mostly I’m waking each day wishing I could sleep forever.
Update
More pictures. Guess this means I wasn’t strong enough. Fallen back into my old destructive patterns.
