Luckies4me, I have a question for you. You say that it just hurts you, but what do you think your friends feel like when they find out that you are do that? I am sure that it makes them sad. And when your son gets older do you want him to think that hurting himself is ok because mom did it? How would it make you feel to know that your son does it because he thinks its ok because mom did it? Just curious. I didn't mean to jump all over you if thats what it sounded like.
No it doesn't hurt, at all. Have you ever been holding a cat and it scratches you on accident? Well, that is worse than what I've done. I guess I just get bored or something and to be honest I just like it. I don't slice myself open like all the others and would NEVER do that. If I was in that much pain I'd rather have a good wrestling match with my bf for fun than torture myself. No worries about the questions. I don't see it at a big deal. My friends know I do it, and I don't do it around my son. It's so very minor, like I said. I see it as the same as people wanting tatoos or piercings. Getting a tat is so much more invasive than this! I don't have nasty scars on my body. I do have some, but they dissapear in a few months. And Dylan doesn't know I cut (I hate that word because I don't consider myself a "cutter") myself, and never will. I have worse scars from my pets than myself. Plus I haven't done it for about a month. Like I said, I guess it's more out of boredom and the fact that I like blood. As soon as I see blood I stop. It's the same feeling I get when I sit down and finish coloring a picture I drew or putting on makeup....I guess I can't really describe it.
