How to self-harm: When
you make that first cut, there is NO going back. You think you
can control it and you will try. It's an addiction that will eat
you alive. You'll start losing friends. Throw out ALL of those
cute shorts and short sleeves because your wardrobe is filled
with long sleeves and pants. You think you can control where you
cut or burn or scratch but you can't. It chooses where it wants
to go. You may think you can pull yourself out of it, but you
will want to go deeper and deeper. You'll start going to the
store to get gauze and band aids. You'll start learning how to
fix your own wounds and how to clean up your mess. You'll do your
own laundry. It's intoxicating.. You can't stop. Before you pick
up that razor/knife/lighter/glass, think about it. You won't be
able to stop it. You'll love the feeling of the blood dripping.
Just please, realize it is an addiction.
