cutting

it’s not just for angsty beiber loving teenagers….

hi, i’m a cutter.

i have been cutting for almost half my life- i’ve taken breaks from it for years, but what is it they call it in AA? recovering…. so maybe a recovering cutter, never cured. bound to have slip-ups now and again.

people like me; cutters, that is; do it for a completely different reason that most people might think. yes, sometimes it’s a suicidal attempt…. but mostly it’s to relieve the pain and hurt and anger and pressure that’s built up inside our chests and our souls. it releases endorphins, which in turn, makes us feel good.

it is not a practice i recommend, or even necessarily condone… but maybe, just maybe, it will help some people understand.
