Cutting

Hullo humanoids. As you can tell from the title this post is a bit of a serious one. And it's going to be a lot harder to write than any of my other posts. But this is something that I need to talk about so therefore I will. And I'm just going to say it straight away. I cut. A lot. My legs are covered in scars and I hate it. I hate it so much but I can't stop. It's an addiction. And in this post I'm going to talk about my personal struggle with it.

People cut for a variety of reasons. Most cutters suffer from depression. They cut because it helps them not feel so numb. Some cut because they hate themselves and how they look. I personally cut as a form of self punishment. When I hurt those I care about I punish myself by adding a few more scars to my collection. Or sometimes I'll cut because I've found that it helps calm my anxiety. I started several months ago and I've tried  to stop many times since then but sadly I have yet to beat this addiction. Though hopefully one day my scars will be able to fade without any new ones taking their place.

But enough about me. I have some things to say to you guys. To those of you reading this. And this is the most important part of this post.

To those of you out there who cut, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry life has brought you to that point. But it's not a hopeless struggle. This is something you can beat and I believe in you. You are beautiful. And I'm praying for all of you cutters out there. I love you guys and I pray that things will get better for you.

To those of you who are tempted to start cutting I have one word for you. Don't. Once you start it's hard to stop. There's never only one time. So just don't take a blade to your skin. I know things may be hard for you but it isn't hopeless. You can beat whatever it may be that you're struggling with. I believe in you and I'm praying for you too. There's a better way of dealing with life than scarring yourselves. You're more beautiful than you think.

To those of you who know people who cut, go hug them and tell them that you love them. Don't accuse them of doing it for attention. People who cut don't cut because they want attention. If they wanted attention they wouldn't hide their scars. People who cut are people who are hurt and struggling. They need love. So give it to them. Show them you care. Tell them they're beautiful. Don't ignore them. And don't worry, I'm praying for you people too. I love you guys and I hope you show those with scars some love too.


That's all I have to say on the matter at the moment. I hope this post has helped at least some of you out there. If you wish to share your own struggles with cutting then comment below. I love you guys.
