i used to cut too... years ago. and the urge is still there all the time. you just have to remember how it effects you ultimately in the long run. i actually got tattoos to cover up all of my upper arms after 7 years of not cutting just so i wouldn't feel the shame anymore and to prove to myself that i could put it in the past

I wanted to get a tattoo to symbolize escaping from depression that would remind me not to cut... but I don't know if I will. :/
It is so hard. And morbidly... I like my scars. I like looking at them. My therapist is wonderful, it's just hard to think of these things when I'm with him because usually I feel good by then. I'll try and remember.
Thank you thank you. So much. ♥♥ It really helps to know you have a friend when you're in a dark place. And the same goes for you, you can message me if you need to talk too.
as i said, it took me seven years before i got mine. and i understand liking to look at them... i did for years. just as that time in my life got farther and farther away i kinda... lost my love affair with them and they became symbols of a really dark time in my life.
i would definitely try and remember to talk about it in therapy. i have the same problem when i go... i'm usually in a good mood and don't remember the bad times i went through in between sessions. that's why i started keeping a real journal to remember things, etc.
and you're very welcome... i honestly think that knowing someone is there to talk to when you're feeling down is one of the best things in the world <3
Depression can be a really powerful force to overcome. The worst part is that you usually don't understand how far in it you are until afterwards. I've never cut, but when I was in my third year of university I became highly depressed and sufferred from severe panic attacks. I took a hiatus from my studies, for a year and a half. I've only just got back this past September. I've always been lucky that I have a great support system with my family and my university friends

Hmm I really do need to start writing things down. I just feel a bit embarrassed about it for some reason, heh.
It really is wonderful. ♥
