Bleeding makes me feel GOOD

i was a cutter when i was a teen. It was somehow, poetic to me. Not to mention an incredible stress relief and the only thing I felt I had any control over. But I got to a point where hiding it was just too stressful and realized that it was not something I needed to keep doing. i haven't cut in 6 years and although I look at those scars on my arms and shoulders every now and then..I know that I made the right decision. For me, it was an adolescent phase. Not to get attention like my piers suggested..it was me...that's who I was...and i needed to get over it on my own and when I was ready. I'm not trying to tell you it's wrong..but I do feel that one day you will get tired of it. Just try to make that day soon!

when i cut i feel much better, especially when i see my blood (i am never satisfied if there is no blood). i see that i gave myself the punishment i deserved and that makes me feel great.
