Anonymous Asked: "I recently started cutting, and told one of my best friends. He ,ade me promise that I wouldn't do it anymore. But each day, its getting harder and harder to keep my promise. Can you help???"

Answer:

If you don’t want to cut, don’t do it for someone else. Only make promises to yourself, because making promises to others and only refraining from injuring yourself because of them doesn’t help you.

Anonymous Asked: "so my mother thinks I "just did a stupid thing" and that I'll "get past it" NO, you ignorant bitch. I've been at it for months, and I plan to carry on. it's a fucking addiction and I'm even having withdrawal symptoms because my teacher will check me tomorrow. I'm so glad I have my own secret razor now, so you won't be able to threaten me about taking stuff away."

Answer:

Please don’t hurt yourself, dear. You’re worth so much more than the scars you’re going to have. Don’t be ashamed of them, for they represent your past… but you shouldn’t hurt yourself anymore. She’s partially right, you will get past it… but only if you try!
