    Oh my dear Lostansad, I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish your family and friends could understand that *they* are creating an enormous problem for you. You need support and sympathy, not criticisms and accusations. I wish you could read "Speak", by Laurie Anderson, I think you would love this book- a girl is raped but tells no one, her grades drop, her family, teachers and schoolmates are very hard on her, and she starts hurting herself as a silent protest. But there is light at the end of the tunnel! I wish you could see that. I know it may feel stronger than you, but you *can* stop this. You've had too much pain in your life already, think of your body as an innocent that's paying for something that's not it's fault... You *can* have your life back, you have worth, you are intelligent and talented, this was just a rough patch and it won't last forever. Your family have to understand that- do they never trip and fall, like any human being? I wish we could talk, but your settings don't allow messages, and from the phone I can't view replies... :/

    cutting is like a temporary fix, like smoking or drinking... you feel good for a small amount of time but it will destroy you. i have cut and sometimes i still resort to it but i know it won't fix my problems... anyone here could give ya a long list on how its all gonna get better or its just a phase and blah blah blah. truth of the matter is it has to start with you. for me i replaced it where i could with excersize and projects to focus the rage and the hate to try and turn it into something possitive that i could be proud of. next time things seem to be pressing down on you take a few long breathes and use that energy in whatever way suits you. best of luck to you
