I Am Struggling With The Urge Of Wanting To Hurt Myself

I used to cut myself like two years ago. With some counseling, I managed to stop. And I've promised some of my friends I won't do it ever again. But sometimes its just so hard. I feel like I deserve it. And it just feels so good to channel all the pain I feel into that one cut. That once place. And for a little while, everything is ok again. Plus I like how scars/cuts look on my body. That probably makes me a freak but I do. I just love hurting myself. I refuse to break my promise though. It just takes a lot of self control....

Two of my close friends have been struggling with cutting. When I found out about it, I didn't react the normal way people finding out would. I didn't ask them to stop or tell them it was ridiculous. I just asked them if they wanted to talk about anything and I was always there to listen. I also told them that I know cutting can become addictive and habitual. If YOU really want to stop cutting; you can. If you are trying to stop for other people; it won't work. One friend has started going to a counselor and she has stopped. The other one continues to cut. Both of them struggle daily but have high hopes of quitting for good.

I don't want to stop. But I have to. I don't break promises.
