Honestly what do you think about people who cut themselves?

I feel like they need help and love from the people around them. I think if the people closest to them would show they loved them it would help alot. I used to be a cutter and I think that's all I needed. Was to know I was loved and beautiful. I never received compliments growing up and I grew up thinking I was horrible and had intense abandonment issues. NOW I live with horrible scars all over my arms and legs and I'm too embarrassed to go swimming or wear shorts. I can't wear long sleeves at my work when it's 90 degrees out. My life is so limited now. Back then I didn't have a job, no one really saw me so I didn't think about it. I wish I could grab the kids these days and tell them my story. Back when I was younger I had a therapist tell me that one day I would not want these scars on my arms and legs and I told her that I would or it wouldn't matter, I'd always be in pain. That is so far from the truth. Things do get better. It can take years, but they do. I hope this helped.
