Shell
I’ve been cutting for nearly a year now. This picture was taken 3 days after a session of self harm. I want to share it to tell people that it ruins you, once you start you can’t stop. I’ve got horrible scars and I can’t wear anything without a jacket and it gets you down really bad.
Scars. I haven’t cut for just over two weeks now. Don’t know how long it will last, though.
Update
It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I am doing a lot better with keeping my self injury under control now. I still cut sometimes but I don’t rely on it to get me through every day anymore and my coping techniques have really strengthened. I just want to let anybody who is struggling know that you can get through this. I know it seems so hard and hopeless at the time but with help, you can succeed.
I love my new found freedom. I can wear short sleeves and most people don’t even notice my scars anymore. I haven’t spent any money on scar reduction pads or anything like that, they have healed on their own and each day they look better and better.
Never give up giving up. The last picture below shows how my scars look now. Take care guys and stay safe.
