At 19 years of age, I have been a cutter for 8 years, and i cut up to 8 times a day, until two months ago when i decided to reclaim my life from the hell i had know for so long. I was diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder, and the therapist i was seeing told me i was untreatable, as did the four previously when my cutting increased as opposed to decreased.So i decided to find out as much as possible about my illness and work to get better, or at least aware of triggers and moods.It's going very well, and although i still get tthe urge, i refuse to give in. i know how much progress i have made and i will not go back to the misery i knew before i began this recovery. So ...i guess i want to say please have faith in your own abilities to get well and stay safe.you can do it, and please feel free to email me if you need any support or have any questions. i wish you all the very best of luck and i am here for you all. take care, kim.
