exactly! to me, the word normal means nothing. My autistic brother's normal is to scream. my normal is to cut and restrict food. everyone's "normal" varies
Uhm, I just wanted to say that even though the cancer thing might have seemed like a good idea, everybody suffers differently.
All of my friends think the things I cut for are stupid, but it hurts me a lot. It may not hurt them the same. A lot of people try to make their problems seems worse, but it's how it affects you, not what it is.
And you can use bracelets for your wrists. Ankles, wear converse high tops. Uhm, just don't do it on your shoulders.
Don't do it at all would be a more logical answer, but easier said than done. I know. I hope everything gets better for you, lovely.
I loved the part where you said, "what is normal anyways".... I ask myself that all the time! Who tells us what is normal when there is no way to "measure" normal. Maybe you and I are normal and everyone else is crazy and has "issues". Who know what normal is? I hate the word because you can't define something you can't even see. It's indescribable. I use the word when I say "I wish I was normal"....
When I cut I never/rarely ever do less then 20. I've reached 107 cuts on my left arm and I'm out of room. My mom saw them and now she knows. Where do I cut now? I use a long knife used to cut big food... I don't know what it's called... Help?
My name is Gabrielle and I am twenty-eight years old. I began to self-injure at age fifteen -- so nearly thirteen years -- minus a two year period. This website was made to let self-injurers know that they are not alone and to help their friends and family learn more about self-injury and how it affects their loved one.

I hope you find a way to get through your pain, and I hope writing it out is helping meanwhile.
