Anonymous asked: I finally gave into it. For the first time, I've cut. It wasn't deep, and not many, but it's the very first time I've actually cut. Why do I feel so.. Relieved?

pain (cutting) releases endorphins in your brain which make you feel good. its normal to feel like that, but it’s not healthy. cutting is a dangerous, addictive way of dealing with emotions, and it’s really not something you want to get caught up in. it will start to take over you, become all you think about, and it will make things worse for you. please darling, don’t do it again.

Anonymous asked: Everything's getting worse, I keep getting panic attacks more and more often and more severely I've been cutting deeper and my anxiety isnt even letting me answer a question at school I've had a school therapist for 3 months and still never told him about my suicidal thoughts or cutting or my angst cause he'd tell the school safety officers and they'd tell my mum I can't find a way to speak anymore so I want to never speak again I just want to die I WANT TO RECOVER SO BADLY but I'll kill myself.

a therapist wont ever be able to help you unless you’re completely honest with him/her. I know its difficult, but I promise you, you have to be strong and do it. it’s for the best. I know you’re struggling, but you are strong enough to beat this.
stay strong, and good luck

Anonymous asked: I was clean for over a year I think, but today was just too much for me to take. So I slipped up. I'm disappointed in myself, but I also know it's just a part of trying to recover. I can't tell family or friends, but I needed to say it to someone.

Relapse is a part of recovery. If you understand this you can pick yourself up and keep going.

And you can always come to this blog if you need someone to talk to.

Anonymous asked: My mom just found out that I cut. I lied to her and told her that it was a one time thing, but I knew that if I told her that I had been doing this for months, it would kill her inside. I can't seem to confess why I do this because she has never been there for me and instead of keep asking about the situation she went ahead and got a therapist so she won't have to deal with me. What do I do from now on?

I think it’s just come as a shock to her. It won’t be because she doesn’t want to ‘deal with you’, she just wants the best possible help for you, and isn’t sure how to give you that herself.
When you go to see the therapist (which I 100% recommend that you do), you have to be honest that cutting has more of a hold on you than you mum thinks. Nobody will be able to help you if you aren’t completely honest.
Everything will be okay, I promise

Anonymous asked: i relapsed last week. and since then, i feel completely emotionless. like my body has shut down. i cut because i feel pain.but im numb, and utterly empty and idk why. im trying to smile and play it off like everything's okay, but i feel like im in such a daze, i cant focus at all. i have no emotion, whatsoever. i know what i should be feeling, but it doesn't happen. this has never happened to me before. i don't know who i am anymore. im so lost. am i the only one who this has happened to?

no. you are not alone.

-barely-breathing- asked: I was about 3 months clean until yesterday >.< Last night i went too deep. Is there anyway to prevent some of the scarring that i know will come? Make up isn't working to cover it.

**Can I just say that finding ways to hide your scars does NOT mean its okay to cut. Its just about moving on from whats in the past that you cant change.

But, you made it 3 months!! That’s amazing work!! This is only a slip up and you can continue with your clean streak.

Bio oil is great for fading them in the long term. Also moisturise as much as you physically can!! Particularly cocoa butter, I’ve heard, is good for fading scars.

As for short term, if they’re on your legs, buy some skin tone tights? On your arms, if makeup isn’t working, you could get yourself a really lightweight cardigan, or I wear a lot of long sleeves chiffon shirts - they’re opaque enough that my scars aren’t visible, but still really thin so I’m not to hot in summer.

Hope this helps at all!!
