What do you think?

ok. i have quit cutting. i havent cut in about 5 months. but i had my friend over and i have my blade still. it sits in the same spot i havent used it i just keep it there. like a memory. the thing is my friend flipped out and i wouldnt let her throw it away. but i do have a reason for keeping it and she told me that it was stupid. i keep it because it is a part of me yeah i hate that i did it. but i keep it as kinda suviner that i have moved on. do you think that is stupid. or is it just a good thing. i really am confused. i mean i really dont know what to think.

i do the same thing, i dont keep it there for next time...i keep it there to help me! looking at it makes me feel happy that i have finally moved on. however i had my new boyfriend over and i had left the room, i came back and he asked what it was (because his leg was itchy and he used it to scratch, but instead it cut) i was ashamed, but he totally understood! after that i threw that one away.

dont worry darl, if it helps you then of course it's the right thing to do...as long as its not tempting you to relive your past!

luv em

hey tell your friend to screw off. . . . .at least you quit!!!

I guess your friend doesn't understand. It's kinda like a symbol of power to you, cause you managed to stop. It can do nothing to you no more and is a reminder to you, showing you stopped.

If you wanna keep it, then keep it. Try talking to your friend again and explain. No matter what anyone says, you don't have a stupid reason to keep it.

Take care
