I used to be a self-injurer. I think I still have that tendency, but I haven't done it in a year or so now. But, every time I see my pen knife in my pencil case, I still think of all the marks I made with it.
It's kind of funny, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only who does this, but I didn't cut in want of suicide. I liked my life (and still do) but there were just some pretty shitty times. Maybe not for everyone put in the same situation, but at that time, how you're feeling is everything. Point is, I used to clean my cuts and put meds on them, so they wouldn't get infected and all? I never cut my wrist.
There are better ways to go, but I know it feels like sometimes, there's nothing else that comes to mind. And I understand.
That's all. I'm so happy about a community like this, it feels like I fit.
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings, Thought I oughta tear the curtain down. I held the blade in trembling hands Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
