Yeah, because it's not normal... people look at me and see a sick person, therapists a lot of times will try to hospitalize for it (which doesn't help) and basically it's not accepted in society. I want to be healthy, able to live a normal life, and i can't do that when i'm cutting. Or when i'm thinking about it all the time. And i don't want my little brother or sister to see me doing it and think it's ok. I don't want them to start cause it's such a hard thing to deal with. I just don't want to know that i've influenced them to harm themselves.

Do I ever want to stop?

2 years () (Permalink)

Do I ever want to stop? No.... No, I don't. It's a love/hate relationship, as always, but I'd rather be with it than without it, under any circumstances. Oddly enough, It gives me the necessary amount of self control to play my part in the things to come. Without it, I feel that I would be less, not more. As long as I can take on the lifestyle and keep myself alive, I think I won't stop. Not now, not until I have to. And then... Who knows?
