I was 13 years old... that was 5 years ago. I really don't remember where I first got the idea of SI. It was during the time my parents were getting a divorce. I remember where I did it and exactly what the cut looked like... but why? Why wouyld I ever decide to SI?? I really can't answer that... it's a piss off! Why on earth would someone first decide to SI??

I did various things as a young child, always feeling like I needed to be punished. The cutting started almost 10 years ago, and now I'm 56 years old. I discovered I generally cut for two reasons:
1. to numb the inside pain
2. to punish myself for being so "guilty"
