I just wish that when someone first starts cutting, no matter the reason, that I could help you see what I see now. We think we have such control over it, but if you continue it takes control over you. A really lame comparison is: It is like eating potato chips. It helps while you are eating them. They are a nice comfort food. And then you get fat. Same with cutting, only you do not simply get fat [which can be resolved quiet easily], you become mutilated. You have to hide your body from your boyfriend, parents, friends etc. depending on where you cut. The mutilation is not easily corrected and if you do it bad enough you will have to live with it forever unless you can afford a pricy plastic surgeon. Sorry to be so harsh, but I know from experience. terrics
