In reply to i started cutting ..., posted by toomuchpain on March 18, 2004, at 1:31:38
Hi there,
I'm really sorry that this is hurting you so much (emotional and physical). I think that the other suggestions that have been made are very valid.
What triggered you to cut when you first did it? What was it that made you cut instead of something else? Hurting yourself is hard to understand, I started when I was 12 and didn't even know that other people did it too. I don't think it means you want to kill yourself - for many people it is a way of coping without having to kill themselves. It's definately best to start tackling this problem before it becomes habbitual, once you are in the cycle it's very hard to get out of. I find that if one thing puts me off cutting, it is the scars that I will be left with - I just don't want them, and it's a real incentive not to do it.

Have you talked to your current T about this or about how triggering you find it to see your old T?
