cutting

I've been prone to cutting for about 8 months now. I dont do it every day or every week. I end up doing it when i feel really really stressed out. i feel like i dont belong anywhere, and i feel like im losing friends. I have a boyfriend and im upset because this guy i've liked for about 2 years is dating a friend of mine and this guy just so happens to be my best friend. he knows i "love" him and he did last year around the same time. i just dont know how to handle it all.

Cutting is like alcohol. It takes away the pain momentarily, but it doesn't solve anything. If your boyfriend is dating someone else, you can't rely on him anymore. The alternative to cutting is to get into contact with your feelings, cry and be angry and then find new friends and solve your other problems.
