Please don't start cutting
each time you will want to go a little bit deeper
each time you want to make a few more
each time you will want to see more blood
each time you want to feel a little more numb
The urge to cut will become more frequent.
every second will be surrounded with it somehow
Scars will be harder to cover
People will ask why you don’t want to go swimming
your parents will notice the long sleeves
friends will question the bracelets
the excuses will run out, trust me
when something goes wrong, you will want to cut again
stress can make you want to cut
you will miss the feeling
you will crave the numbness
seeing something sharp will trigger you
seeing your scars will trigger you
you will miss the blood tripping down your arms/legs/ect
when you relapse you will want to go back to your old ways
getting a fucking paper cut can trigger you
When you are looking for a job they will be there
when you are rasing a kid with your significant other they will be there
your parents will see them at special events and get a sinking feeling in their gut
they will be there on your wedding day
they will be there on a first date
they will be there when you want to go to the beach
they will be there when you grow old
they will be there, forever
SCARS FADE BUT DONT DISAPPEAR
You will spend all of your money
spending money on pencil sharpeners
spening money on concelaer
spending money on long pants and sweatshirts
spending money on bracelets
You will miss out on memories
no movie night because your trying to get the blood out of your clothes
you will not do things because people may see your cuts
no t-shirts so no summer hang outs
the fear of being caught will eat you alive
the fear of seeing the doctor and they catch sight of them
the fear of your sleeve going up during a test
the fear of shorts will show your cuts
the fear of someone maybe catching you doing it
the fear of someone asking why your clothes are blood stained
the fear of someone finding out and telling your parents
the fear of someone knowing and you being forced to stop
HAVING THE WANT TO HARM YOURSELF ISNT NORMAL AND IS AN EMERGENCY.
DONT TRY TO KEEP IT IN, DONT TRY TO SOLVE IT ON YOUR OWN. TELL SOMEONE PLEASE! TELL ANYONE, A FRIEND, A SIGNIFICANT OTHER, YOUR PARENTS, A DOCTOR, A GUIDENCE COUNCILER, ANYONE, BUT SEEK HELP. PEOPLE LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU, PLEASE GET HELP BEFORE YOU CUT.
SELF HARMING THOUGHTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AND PEOPLE WILL NOT THINK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY!
