When I was a young teenager I used to cut but not to the extremes that many people do. When I was 10 my mother remarried and I was moved from the only home and family I had known (living with my grandparents). Shortly after my mom had two other children and I had a step brother as well. My stepfather was very unsupportive in helping my mom care for the kids and doing chores around the house. So I went from being the center of attention (one child surrounded by 3 adults who were constantly involved in my life) to feeling as though I was the least important member of the household. It was a hard transition for me to make. I think I started cutting myself just for attention in the beginning because I noticed when I would get hurt my mom would pay more attention to me and let me help her with things. It started out I would just make one small cut on my arm with a razor and when no one noticed I started doing more severe cuts. Over time it just developed into something that I NEEDED to do to releve stress or anger or to deal with being sad. Finally when I was about 15 I went to the doctor for anxiety and I learned other ways to deal with my emotions.
Happy to say that I don't still do this even though I still get urges to (like when both my grandmothers passed away within 6 months of each other ) and fortunatly I never cut myself deep enough to have bad scars (I only have a couple and they're not that noticable).

Been a cutter for 7 years...I think more than anything, it's a 'control' issue. I hurt myself, so no one else can. It became my coping mechanism, my little secret to help me through the day.

yeah. last year. my was having probs with my sisters husband, u know like hetried to rape me a whole buincha times. and i didnt wanna tell cuz i didnt wanna hurt my sis, and since they live in my house and all, it was all hard to deal with. this went on for like a year, until i couldnt take t anymore and i ran away. but the cops found me, and so i had to tell y. well i told my parents and he denied it. and my dad believed him, and he's still living in my house. so i guess i took out my pain like that. and it felt good. and it became addicting.

i didn't actually use an implement to cut, i scratched myself along my inner arms pretty deeply. i felt better when i did it...it was a release for all the bad things i felt about myself.
