Not me - but hopefully many others :) - i moved beyond that a long time ago :) - i know what you’ve said, and agree - Its a peice i would happilly link to others thinking about cutting!

Cool my friend! Well said!

Jess this is one of the best posts Ive read on here for a long time. Well written and clearly heartfelt and so obviously born of experience. I’m proud of what you’ve been able to do recently because it is never an easy thing to do. If you think about it you have overcome two huge obstacles to your happiness in your life, that’s proof enough your an incredibly strong person. I hope others look at this post and relate to it and hopefully find the strength that you did to stop.

Thank you for posting this.
For sure, this post will help many people.

Haven’t cut in years, but thats very good advice. Thank you for sharing with us!!! =)

I’m so sorry to all of you that do this to yourselves, and I hope your warning helps, as it turned my stomach a little and made me very sad that people get this low, so I hope it does some good

I am impressed with your writing skills. You have done a great job of showing how it starts, and how bad it gets. Have you put this anywhere else on the internet? You need to get it out there so more people can read it. Can I copy it and email it to a few people?

that’s a beautiful piece of writing, for so many reasons. i don’t think i’ve ever read something that was so honest and selfless, accessible and yet profound. i hope that one person reads that and it helps them, and i hope that you never feel you need to return to that life. thank you for sharing Jess xx

**** it sounds better than crack… and cheaper too!

hey thanks for inviting me, its very well written. It all very true. :(
again very good, thanks for making this post.

your a hottie and should need to cut yourself. I hope that you heed your own advice and also stop getting envolved with relationships that are abusive. Good luck to you.

I can realate to every single bit of this…
Lines I could live with, make up a story to get around it, but words? They cant be hidden. I hate the scars. Drawing over with pen…
Cutting is the worse thing…but it feels like the best….

hey gorgeous not seen you in a while, how are you?

That was amazing. It made tears come to my eyes. Its so true and i am glad that i have found the strength to stop and im glad you have too! Its just SOOOO not worth it. You truly are an inspiration!

Loves!!! *HUGS*

never did..
i guess i was afraid of the pqin, or of the blood.. i don’t know why i never started.. i guess i was enough strong and the same time too weak to do it…
as you wrote all that down i was thinking about how it would be, and i could relate to how it is.. it is scary.. scary like hell, cause evn tough i don’t cut i still feel terribly alone..
i was wondering about the poeple i know too, and i was looking at them with my inner eyes, do i know anyone who would cut?
i guess this was a real warning not to start it, but it can be a warning for looking around you and see if you can help those who do it.. looking around you cause you never know someone really close to you might be in this situation and you don’t even realize it..

Thanks for the invite. That is a really fantasticly accurate account, i really hope some1 thats thinking about cutting reads that & it changes their mind.
Im proud of you for getting out of that relationship & im sure its made you a wiser & stronger person.
Be proud of yourself jessica, you have probabally just saved some impressionable person, well done!

My god this is amazing, I have used a similar description on help.com loads of times for 3years now and although people want to understand, so many can’t. So many just can’t imagine it being a real feeilng that someone can get and can’t help.

I have scars on my wrist from when I was 13 - I’m 20 now. and they are still as bad as they were before. I’m actually thinking of getting a tattoo of something over them because its hard being a sucessful business woman, shaking hands with someone and them seeing scars across my wrist.

So my advise is also to think about the future, even if you don’t think you will have one - newsflash - you will and the more scars you have the worse it will be!

Wow. thank you for writing this….everything you said is too true. I’ve been there…I’m still fighting my way out. I’m going to invite all that I can.

Thanks for sharing this, Miss Bunny. I’ve seen you share some deeply personal stuff a few times. That is a real gift to other people. I’m very glad you’re here.

nice one. my hand ended up going up my arm. u know wen u see like an op on tv ur hand goes to where it is. like that.

creepy stuff. my friend used to do it. when she was we diddnt care (we did, just knew it was 4 attention) she realised she diddnt like being alone so she could cut and she stopped.

happy story!

I feel so sorry for anybody that is hurting that badly. I wish that everybody could express their emotions out loud, to poeple that are kind and caring towards them. Sadly, that isn’t usually the case. These people can feel so alone. I wish I knew what to say. This is a good post, written about a difficult subject. Good luck to all that are suffering.

Cutting just got PWNED.

Sheesh,
Never understood cutters, never been around it. Hmmmmm, gosh, yuck. You did a great job explaining. Sheesh, Yuck!

wow this is soo true
everything you said describes me lately :(
thank you sooo much you dont know how much this means to have someone who has experienced the same as me :)
im not alone

this is an amazing post.so accurate, it gets me down when i read about all the people who cut themselves, so i really hope this will help people stop, or prevent others from starting, now that they have read about the downward spiral x x

an inspiring post
well done
so accurately written and emotions expressed so clearly
an excellent warning.

tl;dr

That was the most amazing post I have ever seen on this site. I feel so sad you had to experience it to be so articulate about it.

It seems that so many people have read this post, and so I hope it gives you a feeling that you have touched so many people, and they are listening. You are a strong woman, and by helping others with simmilar problems you will continue to grow.

I can only hope that others who read this can gain the strength you have. My hat goes off tou you miss Jessica Bunny

that made my body go numb. so scary. thank you. i was thinking of doing something like that… not anymore.

wow….. this post is amazing.
everything you said in it was so true.. its hard to believe something that does more harm than it does good, is still so addicting…
i cut and im trying really hard to stop.. i think this is what i needed to read. it made me think and it also scared me… sent shivers down my spine as i read it.. but i guess thats a good thing so thank you.

I use to cut but I quit along time ago and the scars are still there. It is hard when people notice. It’s hard to worry about bing judged and being noticed and misunderstood. And once that first cut comes in you need to understand it is EXTREMELY hard to stop. why? bc if you made one why stop? if you made two why not just keep going? if you don’t want to fall into this spiral then please dont even start.

Thanks for posting this. I’ll be sure to send any1 that may be thinkin about cutting to this post first.

ms Bunny.. This was brilliant.. I hope you never have to experience that again.. I can’t even imagine what someone must go through when the reach this stage..

And yes this needs to be read by others.. It’s so brilliant.. Your story would inspire..

Thanks for the invite and the power of your words are so intense. I wish a hug for those in that much pain. If one was able to harness that power into a goal…unstoppable! You are one of life’s hero’s:) Bless you.

Did you write this or copy it from here http://exactscience.wordpress.com/sel…
Because if it is yours then you should e-mail them and tell them as they are trying to figure out who did write it, you never know you could get some work your way from this.

as a child, i dont think cutting was something anyone really did… however i do remember digging my nails deep into my arms..
i remember feeling it was a pain that made me hurt and made me forget the pain that i was feeling in my heart, in my soul… and what made it feel so good was it was a pain that I CONTROLLED.
the pain that i felt in my heart and soul was a pain so deep and so unbearable and there was nothing i could do to control it.. but digging myself was always controllable.. and that is why i believe cutting is what people do today.
although i do not dig myself any more, i do have those feelings at times that are uncontrollable and when i see people talking about cutting, i tell them to do what i do… grab a notebook and write.. even if you just sit there and scribble.. eventually, you will learn to let your emotions go on paper.. not only does it help you mentally, it also keeps your mind and your hands busy from cutting.
to all those who do cut, i would like to say, i feel your pain and im sorry for what you are going through, but there is help out there if you look.. but you have to be willing to look for it.. be willing to open up and talk about your feelings.. and stop hiding behind that wall that you have built up.. many hugs to you all.. shie.

holy f***

All I can say is, it’s admirable that someone can be happy again after going through so much..
