Reblog to let your followers know that they should never start cutting.

I know this website makes it seem like that shit is normal but trust me, it’s not. And once you start, you’ll never really start and it will haunt you for life.

It never gets easier, it never stops hurting, it isn’t (and will never be) “cool” or “the only way out”

Please don’t start. If you already are cutting, tell sometime and get help, it’s not as scary as it seems and you will be better off by it.

If even one person reads this… Please. You matter.

Don’t start.

Don’t start cutting. Once you start, it’s so hard to stop. I remember when I was younger and I saw one of my older friends cut, I couldn’t understand why someone could do that. Now I understand and I wish that I didn’t. I wish that I would never have started or have had someone to talk to. Please please don’t start cutting. It will always remind you. Yes the scars will show that you went through something and got through it. But if you haven’t starting and you’re thinking about it, don’t start cutting.

I wish someone had told me that

As someone who doesnt care about my violent coping mechanisms most of the time and doesn’t really have plans to stop, please please don’t start. I have to go against what I’m thinking in my head to write this because I don’t really think it’s that bad and that it’s a valid coping mechanism. That’s a symptom of addiction. Self harm is a chemical addiction. It lowers your blood pressure which is why it makes people feel a rush of relief at times of hightened stress. It doesn’t make stress go away. It’s like how a sugar rush won’t stop you from being tired the rest of the day. The thing is there are other ways to lower your blood pressure, there are other eays to satisfy the need to see blood, there are other ways to feel things if you’re that numb. Whatever your reasons there are other options. It is that bad. It is that dangerous. Please don’t start.
