hoping someone still comes on here

[law_student]

I am a 21 year old student. I have been cutting for 12 years. seems
like an awefully long time but for me it seems second nature. It
doesn't bother me but sometimes I wish I could just stop.
The hardest thing is when the pain doesn't help I do even worse. I
started burning about 2 years ago and you should see my arms. They are
covered in burn marks. I have about 30 of them on my arms now and even
the pain from that doesn't cover up the emotional pain that I deal with
every day of my life.
My family and boyfriend know and they deal with it but I don't know
what they really think.
I have run into a couple of people who used to cut and they said they
just stopped. Well it isn't that easy.
Well anyway I hope someone replies to this and maybe someone else will
understand what I am going through and there will be someone else to
talk too.
