    I'd like you to think about something else for a minute. Picture yourself in 10-15 years time. You're an adult, dating, maybe getting into a relationship with a lover. What do you tell them when they see your body covered in scars for the first time? You'd tell them you used to self-harm when you were younger and that it was no longer a part of you, but people WILL judge you whenever they see your scars.

    I say this because I used to self-harm when I was your age and now I'm 29, there is NOTHING I regret more because there is absolutely nothing I can do about it and I am stuck with these horrible scars for the rest of my life, even though it's over 12 years since I caused any deliberate injury to myself and I know I'd never ever do it again. It's long behind me but the scars are too evident and I hate them.

    People who cut themselves have been very seriously abused - and they're full of rage. You might not think this because the rage is unconscious often time - repressed and "forgotten". But it comes out toward the self causing "self-harm".

    And the only real way out of this is to learn how to express this terrible unconscious rage without resorting to this stuff. But it's not an easy job - you do need a psychologist to give you a hand with a lot of it.

    Yeah sooo many people feel like that because cutting releases endorphins, like self induced vomiting which leads to a destructive cycle! I would really recommend going to a therapist, counsellor etc. Having someone to talk to who isn't going to judge you is important! Stay strongggg! Xxxx

    Don't hurt yourself. Talk to someone to express your feelings! This works a lot better!

    Too bad for you. Ask a hypnotist to take you out of that kind of consciousness, or try to get married by telling it openli for man whom you like by your preference. .Some man likes mazochist woman.
