I first started cutting at the age of 13. I have had a pretty good life, wonderful parents and siblings! I love them all so very much, but they have been so very protective over me. I don't remember what upset me to the point of cutting, except for my boyfriend. I was in a good relationship with him at the time but we had gotten into a fight and I couldn't take it. From there the relationship got worse, he yelled at me for cutting and that only made it worse. Then it became an abusive relationship where he controlled every thing I did with my life, so of course I cut more then. But finally I stopped and the relationship got better with time as I gave him more control over me and accepted it as okay. I was with him for 3 years, at some point I started cutting again. This was after a car accident I was in, breaking two places in my back and leaving me to learn and walk again. I was in the hospital for 4 months and shortly after I got out my boyfriend and I broke up. All of this was way too much for me to handle so I cut again, finding it to be the only way I could get over everything for any amount of time. Then I was staying with a friend and her uncle decided that since I was drunk and "passed out" he would take advantage of it. And that was another problem in my life, outside of the fact I wasn't over my boyfriend. So now I cut again, badly. My legs are sliced mostly at the top. I can't stop even though I feel I should. But I know if I do then I will get mad and hate everyone. I have a new boyfriend that I love very much and who understand that I am not over my ex and it is all going to take time to heal. He also knows I cut and is tying to help me as much as he can with the problem but I don't make it very easy for him. Other then that no one knows I cut. They would yell at me and try to control me and make me cut more. And then others would find it weird and be afraid Of me, so i keep it hidden. Hints why my legs are cut at the tops of them. So that is my story, pretty basic and simple, not too much drama and not too many problems, but for the ones I have cutting is my only solution.
