   One of the clients I use to care for was a borderline and did a lot of cutting, I asked her one time why she cut and she simply stated, “I want the outside to feel like the inside.”
   This client did eventually die from an overdose.

   i bite and CARVE myself..
   i don’t like calling it cutting because i make like
   shapes and stuff in my skin so no one nos that i do it because
   of pain.. so everytime somehthing happens i just trace over the already
   carved skin .. and i just started bitting my wrists and hitting my head
   and body

   i’ve been really stressing

   Tiffany, Shyanne and Gina – it’s a hard thing to stop by yourself. Not impossible but really hard. I know it isn’t always easy to ask for help, or to find the right help, either, but I really would encourage you to find a counselling service near you, or go through a doctor if that is easier. You don’t actually need to tell the Dr what you do, you can always say that you are suffering from anxiety/stress/depression and ask if counselling is available.

   There is help out there. I wish you all the very best.
