Hi my Name is Tiff, and i have cut for 6 years, but have recently stopped myself from doing it. it has been a little bit over 4 months from cutting myself. It's really hard because everyday i still have a huge urge to cut and i always say it's a matter of time before that urge gets the best of me. but what really sucks is that some of my friends saw the cuts on my arm. Now one of my friends hate me and the others act weird around me... but anyways thats me Tiffany!!! Smile

Hey Tiff, nice to have you here Smile

As hard as it is, try not to let things with your friends bother you too much. It's weird for them when they first find out too... Try to give them a little time for it to sink in.

If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions."

4 months? that's pretty good. Hold out as long as you can. Then, when you fall you will have a goal to reach and pass.

itsmynightmare	Welcome to the group Tiffany. 4 months is a great accomplishment, like WD said, even when you fall you have a nice goal to reach next time.
