When I was 18, I used to cut myself in order to gain attention from my peers. I used to be proud to show my scars, but now I can barely look at myself in the mirror. I am struggling to like self image, but I have found ways on http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-sm to help cope with my past as a cutter. I suggest taking a look, it has definitely helped me!Amy Wadersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-45822055378353230472011-12-11T17:08:14.822-05:002011-12-11T17:08:14.822-05:00I read this article last month but was not able to...I read this article last month but was not able to write down my thoughts at the time.<br /><br />I was a cutter. I'm 57 years old and I started cutting when I was in my late 30s. At the time, I had no idea that others did the same thing. I have received help and the last time I cut was almost 10 years ago.<br /><br />I cut my arms and thighs - hundreds of cuts each time. I still have visible scars. <br /><br />I cut to release. The pain and anguish I felt inside had to be released and in the state that I was in, cutting was the answer to releasing the pain. <br /><br />It was not pleasure, it was a release. I do not want people to think it was an enjoyable thing.<br /><br />Outside of cutting, my life continued. I went to work every day and kept everything organized in my life.<br /><br />Cutting was a way to release without anyone else getting hurt. <br /><br />Sorry, but I have to sign this anonymous because I do comment here periodically. Being a cutter is also an embarrassment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-50247618461357267332011-11-23T00:08:35.622-05:002011-11-23T00:08:35.622-05:00@ Voice of Sanity

SHE was the one who said she was a victim and wanted protection for herself and for her children. It is a question of whether she recanted because she lied that night or whether, like so many abuse victims do, changed her testimony out of fear or love for the boyfriend, Greg Longoria.Joliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767727364544457252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-10154925636668206202011-11-22T22:04:32.629-05:002011-11-22T22:04:32.629-05:00I am no psychologist but self mutilation is no dif...I am no psychologist but self mutilation is no different than being a drug addict or alcoholic.

And the prosecution is no better. Who is the complainant? And what the hell happened to consent as a defense? Will the US have to follow the UK (as in the Spanner case)?<br /><br />"Land of the Free"? Yeah, right. Only if you do as I say.
