It was when he held PatAnon responsible for random suicides that pissed me off the most.

“Talking about cutting makes other people want to cut. What if your post made someone go and attempt a full blown attempt at suicide? How would you feel?
Most likely, you’ll say, it was their choice. Just like you.
It was fucked up and sick. Is that the reaction you wanted? You certainly got your attention.”

Thanks Aik.

katm –

Sorry it took so long to respond. I have also been ‘clean’ for a while now and the urges do still come back. I am under the impression that they will most likely continue. It is amazing how they (the urges) just role off my back now.

Hope all continues to go well for you.

Good response to a fucking stupid post. I did all I could to hide the fact I was cutting. I didn’t want people to know because I knew how fucked up a coping strategy it was. But at the time, I didn’t have any other skills. And it was a huge emotional thing for me. I didn’t know any other way to express the pain I was in. I wasn’t taught growing up how to express anger or sadness because it wasn’t allowed.

I’ve been ‘clean’ for more than 7 years now. I still have the urges when things get rough. But I’ve learned ways to deal with the emotions.

Bloggers like that piss me off. Thanks for speaking out.
