I went through a rough time in my life a few years ago, and unfortunately turned to cutting as a way of releasing all the inner pain I felt. I realize now how unhealthy it was, and I'm still pretty ashamed of the resulting scars left over from my "bad habit." However, I do still have to fight against the urge to take up the knife once again, especially when I'm feeling at my lowest.
Anyway, just wanted to let all the other self-mutilators out there know that they're not alone - sometimes just keeping that in mind can be enough to soothe the hurt.
