can you help me on one thing......???

i only really want people that have cut or have cut in the past to answer this because other people wouldn't understand!!!

the other night something happened and i haven't cut in 7 weeks!!!! but i was round my mates house i got a bit upset and she had a knife in her room (from where she had been peeling an apple) and when she was asleep i grabbed it and i was like tempting myself and i did it light but it left little red lines (but there was no blood AT ALL) and then i went to sleep and when i woke up it looks like little cat scratches!!! does that count as breaking my target??? cause it didn't actually cut at all!!!! does that mean i'm back to 0 days again :-(

No I would say that's breaking the target. I mean, you picked up the knife with the intention to harm yourself, you then ran it across your arm, maybe not drawing blood, but it still damaged your skin. I would say that unfortunately, you broke it.

:-( i wasn't planning on cutting i was just tempted!!! and i was drunk at the time and i didn't reall know what i was doing but i wasn't THAT drunk!!!
i didn't want to break my target :-( i hate myself now, the only thing that was stopping me from doing it again was my target and now if i have broken it then whats the point in starting again!!! i know my friends will be disapointed but i don't know what else to think!!!

But the knife still made contact and damaged your skin. Ok, what you have to aim for now is making it at least 8 weeks. That will be the two month mark. Then think to yourself if I can make it this far, I can make another week and so on and so forth.
Good luck and take care,

bob i'm not that clever??!! are you trying to say i didn't break my target or that i did?
thats all i need to know, cause all my close mates at school are gonna want to know on monday if i made it the whole summer holidays :-(

bob's last line explains it all i think...
tempting will soon become actions...
good luck with it all...you really shouldn't!!
take care x x x

you intentionaly meant to harm yourself, you tried to and you did leave some sort of marks, which is classified as self harm.. the one thing that surprised me though is how you cut at your friends... although i dont classify self harm as selfish or cowardly, because i used to do it, i would think it a little strange to self harm at your friends house....???

i was drunk!!!!
i was stupid!!!!
i shouldn't have done it!!!!
i didn't want to break my target!!!!
thats why i didn't actually cut!!!!
but i guess i broke my target anywayz!!!!

I would say that yes you broke the target bc the whole point is not to even pic the knife up, not to even feel the need to but you did and that broke it whether they were just scratches or not...sorry

-kayla-

YES THAT COUNTS, u still hurt urself. that counts as self harm

RANDOM GAL!!>... i know i just posted ..but i just cut! OMG IM SO RETARDED.. i lasted for over a yer and now i break when im intoxicated. wow.. at least i didnt draw blood
