It hit me today that just because I don't look like someone who would cut doesn't mean that I don't do it.....so who else is hiding it? All these kids I go to school with. I have friends that are open about their cutting. But how many cut and don't say anything. How many hide the scars they make underneath their clothes. How many do what I do?

Thank you for sharing Tawania, I cut when I was a teen, and then went years throwing myself out for others to hurt me. Now that I am 42 and dealing with the pain of all the hurt and memories that I have repressed for so long, I have begun to cut again. I do it so that it release's the pressure that is built up, and gets me out of the numb state. I don't want to do this, but I am seeking out help with a therapist, and we are working through the memories as well as the Delayed PTSD. I am glad that I am not the only one who wonders if at my age, I should already know how to deal with this. Or is there anyone else out there that does this at my age. Flashbacks is and memories are what esculated my cutting and SI habits.

I have found that as i have gotten older i actually stopped several activities that i used to use for pain relief. I used to punch walls and hit things, drink to much and put myself in not very healthful spots. This last year I have started buring my skin and sometime the need is very overwhelming..I turned 46 should this behavior have stopped and what might be the cause of it suddenly esculating.
