Only two cuts this week. Elastic band instead

I have an elastic band on my wrist. I pull and snap it whenever I want to cut. I snapped it in school and my friend asked if it hurts when it hits me. Sooooo... I put it on her wrist and pulled it as hard as I can. It was funny as hell. We were both laughing our heads off for ages because she couldnt see why I did it. She doesnt know about my cutting. I was talking to my other friend rachel and I said to her "You have no pupils because your eyes are sooooo dark". And she said "uh huh I do have pupils" and i said "nu uh" and it went on and on and then i said "do you do drugs?" and she was so not concentrating that she said uh huh. We were hysterical.

Im happy with my achievement of only two cuts in a week. Yay.

thats excellent, its great to here of your achievements, it makes me so happy to know that people are tackling self-harm. Great going. Hope you can keep it up.
I believe in you, and i know you can doit.

Well done, I really admire you. Don't you find that you get bruise lines from the elastic band though? I did and they took weeks to fade away. Well, anyways Good luck and keep up the good work.

Good progress. Stay with it!!

Wooh go you :)
Hmm, I should try that when I'm angry..

Well at least bruises fade quicker than scars.
Stay Strong!

That is really great :)

That's really great! Honestly, I am proud. I know how hard it is.
But I personally don't find that the elastic band thing works for me.. but if it does for you, then fantastic!
Love Tiff.

thats really good. ive have tried to do that but it just wasnt the same. i have tried to strop cutting soooo many times and i just didnt have the strenght. so i take my hat off to ya!!! well done hunni.xxxxxx keep it up.

um, yeah, i'm a cutter. i've been doing that, and it helps A LOT!

well i woudl like to put a kudos on here for every cutter who is breakin their habit. i am so proud. if only i had that for my friends who cut.

Yeah, I tried the rubber band thing, but it didn't work for me. I guess it works for some and not others. Great job on quitting, or at least taking the steps to do so! Great job hun . . . I am proud of you so so so so proud. This is a hard habbit to quit

Thanks for all the support off you lot. I kinda fell of the wagon over christmas, I mean, with my family it is impossible to not fall off the wagon when you are with them 24/7 for two weeks. I'm back on track now and I havent cut for a week. Its kinda like someone trying to stop smoking or drinking, because even cutting is addictive.

Good luck. It was great work, anyway.
Even if you do fall off the wagon again you will know where to get support, and that it isn't so bad.
