I'm sorry to hear about what you've been through. No doubt it is difficult. I've been cutting for three years. I cut because my dad is abusive and my mom won't do anything about it. They are only together because of money. They know about my cutting, at least they did last April, but they didn't help me at all. I also cut when school stresses me out, but only because I know I need to do well in order to get out of the situation I am in.



I started because this guy online started to abuse me, and now people are telling me it was sexual abuse, and they want me to go to the police, also because my parents were very physically abusive towards each other, and i saw a lot of things i wish i hadn't (e.g. my mum trying to stab my dad etc.) and because i was bullied at school, but yesterday i hit a whole month free, so im working though things alone and its going well so far :)

if you ever ned to talk check out my youtube 1994GingerKid and send me a message x



i cut because my mom sexually abused me every day for years and now i am stuck dealing with multiple personality disorder and a lot of other mental ****.

theres a couple support sites that i find helpful though http://selfhelp.yuku.com and http://www.recoveryourlife.com are two that i use reguarlly

i want to help you.



I cut because in times of pain and distress it helps temporarily, even though in the long run it hurts me more, it's the only way of coping with emotional pain that i've ever learned.



I do it as punishment. I feel that I am a bad person and no one loves me, so I cut and burn. Also, I self harm a lot when I eat. I always think that if I eat I need to be punished.



Several reasons really.
To punish myself, for release from my emotions, and to have control over something.
