Comments: Well, im 17, and i guess i only realized i had a problem a few months ago. ive been severly depressed before, but the cutting just started about 3 months ago, and at some points it's very severe. it hurts that some people dont understand, or even want to. i have problems with eating, which go back a few years. flushing food down the toilet, or hiding it under other garbage in the trash, sometimes the thought of eating makes me feel sooo sick, that i cant bring myself to even eat a little..to humour my mother. i dont wanna be thinner, im 5'4 and only 86 lbs, which is bad, but i cant gain weight, ive tried, and i cant. i dont want to in a way. i dont get hungry. im on paxil, but it hasnt done much for my depression, but then again neither did venlafaxine effexor. i dont know if i have ocd, its possible. simple things tho..like having to rub the satin binding on my baby blanket untill i fall asleep, w/o it..i CANT fall asleep. or having to put my little alarm clock infront of my phone, not behind...im constantly fixing it if ppl put it in the wrong place. or having to have my phone sitting w/the mouth piece closest to my bed, and the ear piece facing the wall...everything on that damn desk has to be angled the same fucking way. i have to sleep w/my bear, i cant sleep w/o him, and i tap constantly...or shake my foot or leg. the depression is the worst tho. when u get numb, and ur so sad that u can't even bring urself to cry. i cut with razors too. i used to use my brothers becuz it has 3 blades, so 4 every one slash i do, i get 3 deep cuts,and id do about 8 or 9 which is like 27 cuts each 'session'. but when i came out about my cutting, he took it away. i got disposable ones for xmas in this care package from my principal (he knows whats goin on n is really concerned..i guess he didnt pack the pkg himself, cuz razors for a cutter was pretty fucked up) but my friend john took them away n broke the blades off. he gave me back the handles n said that i could keep those (it was twisted, but i hated him for taking them away) i feel like if i dont cut, i dont have a release. i know now that its gotten bad, because i managed to cut myself w/a guarded razor the day b4 yesterday. not deep enuff tho. i use scissors too. they dont work real well. not enough blood. knives either. when my mom saw the fresh cuts, i said "the rabbit did it, if i did it myself, u know they'd be deeper", in a way i wish they were. im starting to see a shirnk now, but im proud of u for fighting so hard. i hope that i can bring myself to well up half the courage that you have. im so proud of you. email me sometime...it would be nice to hear if u had a happy ending. hope exists, i guess we just have to believe. its kinda hard when nothing seems real, though. please take care. and for all of the rest of u out there, the ones like us... keep fighting, and dont give up. u can email me if ud like. id love to hear from some of you. *huggles n kisses* ~*Sammi xoxx xoxx

Comments: i love this site.it lets me know that there are others out there that have the exact same problems that i'm having.I have been a "cutter" since i was 9 and i'm almost 16 now.My reason for cutting,burning,overdosing,and otherthings where to get rid of the motional pain and replace it with physical pain that i thought i deserved. but then i met this guy named Devon (whom i'm in love with)and he was everything that made me realize i didn't need to hurt that i was better than that. i hope one day u'll realize that there's more to life than that. :-)

Comments: I just cut myself about an hour ago. It just got to be too much. I'm so scared that I'll always be alone. I don't want to die, I want to be happy. I want to keep cutting. I started when I was 16 and now I'm 19. I want to tell my mom but I'm not sure why. Do I want sympathy? Do I want to make her feel bad for f*cking my up? I don't want help, I never want to see a psychiatrist again. I had to when I was 9 and it was the worst experience of my life. If I'm happy will the cutting go away or is that a whole s parate issue? I would appreciate it if you email me; I admire your bravery so much.

Comments: Anna, your website opened my eyes. You are very brave, girl. Thank you for sharing so openly. I am a youth pastor to several young girls. Some from broken homes and painful backgrounds. Let me tell you, real love exists. Going to church is not an en in itself. The hope is in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He voluntarily endured the most horrific pain, mutilation, and rejection because he loved you, and me, and every broken person who ever gave up on life. Some say God is mean because e sees us all as sinners. There's so much more!!! God loves us all so much. He hates the awful, tragic things we face, but he won't do anything until we reach out to him. He's not a drag, letdown, or fairytale...He's the hope, life and reality you are dying for. Stop praying to die, sweetie. Start praying to live!!! With sincere love --Rhonda

Comments: i have been cutting myself since i was 13, i am now 18. For the last year and a half I have kept a journal. Reading what you have written sometimes is exactly what I have written. I try to release my pain into my poetry, instead of picking up a razor b ade. I guess the hardest part for me is not understanding why I cut myself. I have never been abused in any way, i wish I could just see why. I read your guestbook along with your diary. It's so comforting to know we are not alone. Everyone is beauti ul who signed your guestbook. God bless to everyone who suffers.

Comments: this is a brave thing, to post your "secrets" on the www. I have been cutting since I was ten years old - I'm 30 now. I've lost count of how many hospitals I've been in and how many times. I HATE HATE HATE being in the hospital.Oh, I've burned myself too, not as often as I visit with the razor blades and scalpel blade refills. The last time I burned it put me in the burn trauma unit in the hosp. and I almost lost (by amputation) most of my left hand. Almost. So I haven't done that again. I still have 26 st tches from the last time I cut, but when I was in the ER I swiped some "supplies" for the next time I cut. Pretty friggin' sick, huh. The last time I cut it was an ACCIDENT, but I stitched myself up - it gave me the same feeling I get when I cut , I know I don't understand it either. I hope to never cut again, because I'm about to become a foster mom, I'm otherwise stable and I take my meds to stay okay, but I don't know what would happen if I did cut again and I had a child in my care.Which I am about t , just a few days now. I love kids and so want to be a mom, I just hope I never cut again. When I'm actively destructive I feel strangely calm but then sh%$@&$! once I quit. Quit. I am lured by that word. As in ,"I want to QUIT this". is there hope? I ne d to focus on what CAN happen, not what has already happened.So there it is - my secret grossly naked.

Comments: Anna, it is wonderful that you can share so much of yourself online. There are so many reasons for self-injury, and I've known quite a few. I truly hope that you come through this and find the strength to quit. Believe me, it is so much better once you' e stopped. Cutting can be very addictive and it took me awhile to stop. Give it a try and keep at it.

Comments: You're site is great. I don't recommend any form of self-injury to anyone. It may make you feel better when you're doing it, but it doesn't make everything go away. It's very addictive. Hopefully, who ever goes through this awful way of coping with a roblem can get help. Sometimes "help" does not work, I know from personal experience, but you have to try and be strong. I'm still trying to be strong.

The thing that works the best for me is prayer - you can do anything through the strength of God!!!

I was looking for a place where I could feel like someone understood me, beca se tonight I'm feeling sad and lonely and angry and I HATE MYSELF. I hate myself more than I hate anyone else. I hate the way I look, the way I am, the way I write, the way I try to hide things about myself... It's this rage inside of me... just this self hatred that I can't even put into words because I'm so fucking stupid. I've hit myself before. Sometimes with hairbrushes, belts, whatever. I once hit my head with this heavy keychain thing and this big bump formed. I have been good about not hitting myself lately, though. I think the reason i've done it is because the rage feel for myself builds up and builds up and I have no idea how to get rid of it. This is the most I've told anyone.

Sounds like a lie, I know. Believe what you will.

Comments: Reading your diary was like going over something I'd written myself. There are so many similarities it literally made my heart race. What shocked me the most was what you wrote about the fantasies you'd had when going to bed as early as the age of seven; 'd had the same bedtime fantasies. I've never admitted that before, b/c I thought I was deranged or something. As far as cutting, I started doing it regularly at 14 in grade nine. I am now turning 20 in June and have, for the most part, stopped. But the t mptation has never gone away.

Comments: Your site it amazing. I have a pretty fucked up life. About a year ago I was on the verge of suicide. As a matter of fact, I almost did kill myself. I haven't cut myself in almost 10 months but i'm going through i guess what you can call "withdrawals" now. Because self-mutilation is just like drugs. I was very, very addicted to slicing my body up. I couldn't stop, but finally I became strong enough. I'm starting to doubt my strength now, though, b/c of these withdrawals. It's like I want to cut my elf again so badly. I shake all the time, I've fainted before, and it's just fucked me up so badly. I have insomnia b/c of my past and nightmares also. I sometimes think that my life will never be the same. I'm 15 years old. I shouldn't have to deal ith this. I guess this is just the consequence for growing up too fast... But I absolutely love your page at least I know i'm not totally alone. Thanks.

Comments: Your page is amazing, I never knew someone who had the same feelings as I did, I was daignosed with Bulemia, Depression, and OCD. I was sent to the ED part of the hospital in the middle of 10th grade. I'm still on prozac, it's not helping my depression an i'm fucking slipping away. I've been cutting myself on and off for a year now, and a little while ago I started burning myself with car ciggarette lighters. and every night before i go to bed i wish i'd die, so i can't bother or hurt the people in my lif with my problems anymore, ok, well this is probably too much, anyway i just wanted you to know that your page made me feel somewhat less alone and confused

Comments: your story mirrors my life perfectly ... didn't think there was anyone else out there and believed my actions, thoughts and consistent desires to fuck myself up physically and mentally were only my own. still can't come to terms with it but am reading mo e about it, trying to understand. like you, i don't seem to fall into a specific category ... have been through bouts of anorexia, ocd, cutting, drugs, depression ... i don't know how severe they have to be to be considered a 'real problem,' haven't been hospitalized or on therapy or anything. am currently on prozac (would like to know why you refuse to go on it) but feel abnormally normal and thinking about getting of it. would love to hear from you, how you're doing.

Comments: "Can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out.." You just get to a point where if you don't do it to yourself, you get a feeling that something really terrible is going to happen, and when that moment comes, it's the logical thing to do. It doesn't hurt. You're not screaming and shouting. A couple of da s later you feel like a sad fuck, but that's part of the healing process: after that you feel really good. People that harm themselves, be it through anorexia or razors, know what they're doing. *Stay Beautiful*

Comments: I luv the page. I too have lots of reasons for cutting, they differ depending on whether I'm having a depressive episode or a manic/hypomanic episode (yes, I suffer from Bipolar disorder. And suffering is definitely the right word). I'm on some good meds though, Effexor and Melleril to name the 'best' two. Not too sure about the mood-stabilisers I'm on, and the sleepers, yeah I suppose they work. Usually. Why am I blethering on to u about my meds? Oh I dunno, it's 1.25am here and tonite is one of those nights when my Chloral Hydrate decides to let me down. So I gotta talk to someone. God, anyway, how r u? Hope ur OK. Yeah, great page, I will return sometime. Goodnight and take care, love Thia xxx

Comments: I am happy that you are trying to get this under control and to understand what is going on with you. Your mom and dad are very fortunate that you had the strength to hang in there and look for the answers. I know I'd be very thankful! You are great kiddo ..do not ever give up! You have come a long way and have a long way to go yet. You too have a lot to offer others...kindness, gentleness, sincerity, honesty, friendship, guidance, understanding, compassion,love, hope, trust and so much more. Keep up the good work! I have been depressed on and off during my life...also taken Paxil, it helped. And there is nothing greater than the gift of life...keep up the good work sweetie. Thinking of you often.

I think my Manics-obsession (so much for washi g hands - I've been there!) has led me into turning everyone to that band. Sigh. I go from door to door and hope that someone will discover the beauty in it... (ahem, who was it that was 100% anti-religion...) Well, we all have flaws, don't we?

Comments: I just can't get over how great your page is. I fixed my broken links and am obsessively signing your guestbook. Know what's weird? I just read all the lyrics to Hotel California yesterday, and then I read them on your page. Weird. I didn't know you cut ords, too. The last word I cut was ANGEL. Odd, huh? I wanted to cut something beautiful.

Comments: you're page is beautiful! sometimes things get really hard and it's comforting to know that someone out there knows how i fee. all too often it's so threatening to be surronded by non-cutters. they threaten to tell, not to be our friends any more. and the do this at the time when they need it most. it's just a blessed feeling of solace knowing that someone else knows how i feel. Painfully Yours, LiLi.
