Hi, i read your quote adn decided to read this. I can totally see where you're coming from, however i self-harm and as the blood runs down my arm i think of it as all the bad feelings i have go out with it. You're right cutting yourself isn't the best of ideas but to some people it genuinly does help. I'm not having a go i'm just giving you insight. I have tried just getting over it and it works. But only for a while. THen everything starts getting on top of you again. I see self harm as a release of bad things. But like i siad i can completley understand where you are coming from. write back. Im not online much but ill write back if i see a message.

I agree with what you say. It does make it hard on others when someone hurts themselves. I understand because I was once there too. And all it is is a constant reminder as you say. But i am also the type that slips and no matter how much i know it's bad sometimes i slip back into the habit. But I do stop. I honestly hate the habit and wish i was a strong enough person or smart enough to get over it and myself. And what you said wasn't offending to me at all, and if it's honestly what you think don't even worry about what others think.

I agree with you. some of my poems that i write are just an expression of how i feel. i dont self harm =) its not worth it as they grow up they will see how much life has to offer and how much they have to lose

It is as if you pulled this directly from my brain. I think that this is a very good way of thinking about the whole thing. It put a different perspective as to what I did to myself any why I did it. So I say thank you

I've been there done that. & like you said It's not worth having scars there for the rest of your life. The heartbreak eventually goes away, the scars don't. To me, even though I cut, writing always helped more. Even if you can't rhyme or make it sound poetic, just write. I don't cut anymore, but the scars are there forever.
