Answers:
I've been where you are sweetie. Ended up in foster care and i started cutting and it took years to stop and the scars that you give yourself will stay with you. remember that because when you do get through this rough patch they are just going to be reminders of the hell you've been through.
You've become so used to being abused that thats all you know and instead of breaking the cycle you're still punishing yourself.
STOP.
easier said than done and the only thing that is going to stop you is either you said. F*** this. I'm not going to be a friggin statistic and continue to do what has been done to me to myself,
get counseling
or hit an artery and have to get stitches.
in the end the choice is up to you/
and it does pass, the pain of abuse. you'll never forget but you learn to grow from it.
seek counseling, get some form of support or something.
but eventually you have to tell your self am i going to sit around and feel sory for myself and keep doing this to myself.
or am I going to do something about it
