Absolutely. When I am feeling down enough to cut, it is a horrible place to be. I dont' like being in that place, nor do I like to see others in that black space. I wish for all people to know that they are loved enough that they do not have  to self injure, but understand as I was recently at that place. Embarrassing too when you work in a professional environment, and others can see what you have done.  It makes me sad, but it does seem to keep a balance between the inside pain and the outside pain.

I have tried a few times...

I have thought about stopping, I have even tried a few times. But when I get so angry or so upset, I just figure what's the point? I have told one person about cutting myself, and she doesn't care, she hasn't tried to convince me not to. My parents have teased me, when they have found one of my cuts, saying things like, "Oh look she's emo, she cuts herself." They might even think that its true, but they have their own problems and don't want to add a daughter that cuts to the list. They don't want to believe it, or have to have a discussion about it. So yes I have thought about it, but no one cares about me or my pain, or my reasons, so why should I stop?
