Treat everyone as if you will be the last person they will see or hear!

i am a cutter myself i also have Borderlind Personality Disorder i have been cutting for over 10 years. its a disease and there is a group called DBT that if you have insurance you can go to a doctor for help and join a group but you have to ask if they offer this group cause not everyone does. Cutting is a temporary relief for the pain you feel inside that you feel like you either deserve it or theres no other way to feel alive. I did good and didn't cut for over 2 years and recently started again. Cutters need a release and sometimes thats harder to find for some people. A cutter is not a bad person though and just need help realizing that.

There are lots of reasons people cut or mutilate themselves. It can range from a personality disorder to a simple "cry for help."

Most that I have talked to who are "cutters" explain that the cutting relieves their anxiety and guilt over a perceived (note that word) wrong they have done. In other words, the cutting makes them feel better because now they are punished.

Of course, nothing anyone does in life, in my humble opinion, should make one feel so bad about themselves that they engage in hurting them self.

As a survivor of a suicide attempt, I know that is easier said than done. But I try and not judge myself so roughly today.

And most of what I feel guilty about was done TO me.
