I have a greatestjournal account, and I'm a member to a community called _knowyoulive and one of the girls that owns the community asked "Can you ever really stop cutting? I mean some people stop for five years and then start again. Sometimes i think once a cutter always a cutter. Some opinions on this would be apreciated." and one of the comments

I actually have to agree. Although I haven't cut in 2 years or so sometimes I think about it and go "Damn, I want to cut." I don't, but I feel it so strongly. Recently on Degrassi the topic of cutting came up because Ellie (one of the characters) is a cutter. She said that she will always be a cutter, even if she stops. The association for Mental Disorders is pushing for cutting/self mutilation to be its own disorder not associated with other disorders as it is now. So I have to agree 100 percent with you. It's always there...even if you stop. I love you sweetie.

ok I kinda understand and then I kinda dont ya know? I mean I know how you said cutting makes you focus on phyiscal pain rather then emotional but it still seems messed up to me. If you think about it its like weed, cutting is an addiction right well your addicted to cutting I'm addicted to weed except if I wanted to I could quit for good but if it makes you happy then its alright to me. I'd rather see you cut and feel better then be depressed all the time. well ttyl
