Self Harm has been my way of coping for almost a year and a half. Today I realized how cutting does more harm than what it heals. At first cutting myself made my problem go away but as time went on self harm made everything worse. Everyday that I cut my wounds became worse and worse. Without realizing I have become a slave to self-injury. To me cutting is my drug. I am addicted to it. I hate cutting with all my heart and I want so badly to stop. I have started therapy and hopefully I will conquer...

Today has been a cut free day. I haven't had one of these days in a long time. I have been cutting myself for 1 year and 5 months and I want to share my story.
I believe one of my triggers is when I am exposed to my own wounds so today I covered them up with a long sleeve shirt. I also distracted myself by being involved with my family and friends. I have resisted the urge to cut myself today and hopefully tomorrow will be the same. I hope my strength will last and I hope I can't beat this....
