Answer:
I use to cut, a long time ago. But I don't anymore. I realized that it doesn't help, it just makes things worse. My scars are pretty much gone, so I don't have to cover my arms anymore. Cutting helped me "relax" and breath. I know that doesn't make sense to anyone who has never cut before, but it made sense to me at the time. It, obviously, doesn't anymore, but whatever. Chow!

Answer:
This issue is somewhat close to me, as both myself and my girlfriend cut. We try to keep each other accountable, we made an agreement the other night, if one does, the other matches the mark on themselves. It maybe is not the best solution, but it works for us.
It kills me to see marks on her arm, I think the best way to control it is to remind yourself how much it actually hurts others more than it does yourself. I cant stand to see my girlfriend hurt, I literally weep every time she cuts herself. It is enough motivation for me not to cut myself, knowing if I do, she will as well.
I have scars all over my arms, most of the time I cut myself all over to keep myself from my wrist. I have so many times started cutting my wrist, only to move away to keep from hurting others. Cutting is very selfish, suicide is very selfish...remember how much it hurts others.
Answer:
Laceratus just a word of advice from experience....I would highly advise yall find other accountability partners for this sort of thing. I did the "match the other person's cuts" thing and it only made things worse for myself and the other person. It may hurt you to see her cuts, but doing it to yourself to match what she has done is unwise and unhealthy. I have been there, I have done this, it works for awhile, but like cutting...it is only a temporary fix.
Answer:
thanks, I appreciate the advice.
I was just unsure what else to do...I hate it, and like I said it may not be wise, but it seemed like my only option. I'm the only person that she trusts right now. She feels all her friends and family have abandoned her. It takes months for her to come to trust someone, so its not like I can just take her to a pastor or someone else to keep her accountable. I dont know what else to do.
Any wisdom from others is greatly appreciated...
