...LOVE.... i carved that into my hip.


why is the question i want to ask.... i was just like hehe blood and then i started writing love. I dont quite understand....

this shall turn into an interesting scar....


Does anyone else carve words into yourself? ive never done it before, and i never expected i would. you see, I used to just sort of try and stay out of it if people carved words. i thought they were being kinda weird and i never could judge if i would still feel the urge throughout the whole word.

i realized though that when i started carving the word, i wasnt even close to satisfied until it was done...

hmm... thought provoking... and im dissappointed in myself :P

I've only carved a word once and while have thought about doing it again I probably won't. Don't be disappointed, though. This is just a temporary relapse. Stay strong, and it will start to get better.

I have the word 'Love' carved into my arm. It's pretty much faded now.
Don't be disappointed, though. It's only a slip-up. Pick yourself back up and go for longer without cutting.
Good luck. I'm here if you need me. <3

It's ok. You screwed up once but we all do it, I started the butterfly project the other day and my butterfly was dead within 24 hours. You can always try again. And hey, there's worse scars to have. Good luck.

When I was 16 I did what I now think is the stupidest thing I EVER did. I thought I was madly in love with this one guy and he didn't love me back. Then he moved away and I got SO depressed. I carved his name into my arm . Later I regretted it so much and I went over it with new cuts so it wouldn't be readable and luckily it is now faded quite a lot. It can be disappointing but try not to let it get to you too much. It was a slip up and you can fix it you just have to keep trying and you will get there

My friend does this... he's doing this cause he keeps talking about a girl and how it ended bad, and he says he's going to do something on Valentines day.
It's the same as self harm though.. when you feel guilty, or unable to do something you try to hit yourself. I punched myself with 70% power before because I was depressed because I didn't make it into Stuyvesant and my mom took away my PC for a month -.-
It's perfectly normal but please don't leave a scar. Feeling pain can help sooth emotions I think.

Oh god.
I don't know how long ago it was, 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. I carved the word pussy ( ) onto my upper arm. I'm afraid of what the scar is going to look like.

Brittany: i hate it when my scars fade... i know thats dumb, but honestly when they fade i feel more need to cut again :P
MusicIsEverything: my butterfly just died xD its a little humorous to me... maybe it just needs to be a prettier butterfly and i wont become a vicious murderer... gosh i need a couseller i sound like some psycho maniac killer! meh.
Stacy: thank you im 16 now too. Im pretty idiotic because i feel like if i took a LITTLE more time to think before i DID anything, i would be fine and normal. stupid impulsive behaivior
JustACityBoy (or Carl...but i wanted to type that : [LOVE your screenname...]I already have so many scars that one new one wouldnt make any difference anymore.... I try really hard though. Not to gain more territory on my body. Im pretty good about that, so it works :P
M: I almost did that with my last ex, but i thought through it and didnt, thankfully. That would be so difficult to deal with as a scar, im very glad that its pretty much disappeared for you. UGH i would hate it if Daniel (my ex's) name was on my arm....
Dionna: thanks for the luck yeah i was going to do hate, but i was in a giddy mood and like.... LETS BE IRONIC AND CARVE LOVE!!!......ugh im so weird
Lorra: thanks, and oh no i really hope the scar isnt too bad... yeah the love is completely readable, and the sad part about that is that im not sure if im sad about that, or happy... and to be completely honest with myself im glad its readable...

Danny: yes, go right ahead. the song is wonderful.. and it makes me happy. Im SO glad you didnt. Im having that problem too... its almost like CRAP i need to make sure it all scars well so its readable (what. a. issue. filled. child.)
MusicIsEverything: I almost did that once, luckily i was able to distract myself that time.... :/ I wish you well... i know how hard it is to hide the scars.
Simon: Never will I ever care about how much money i have or what i have than how my friends are and that THEY are doing well. Generosity is the most important thing.. and i dont ever go away from that. Spiritual love is extremely wonderful

Issued child that has managed to get through the mountains that have got in your way... the scars show that you were in a bad place and managed to get through them quick... never give up.

I did the same thing, only i had the bright idea of doing the cuts to hide the name when drunk and missed, woke up the next morning looked at my arm and though F*CK so did it when sober.

I have carved words into my in the past but they have faded, which they usually do over time.
Feel free to PM me if you ever want/need to talk
