So I don't really know why I started this blog...Maybe as a journal for when the late nights get rough and I just need to get things out in the open.
Well, I'll tell you a little about myself. I'm Catherine. I'm a theology major at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a self-injurer. I first started self-injuring when I was a sophomore in high school. I cut twice, switched high schools and didn't cut again. Then, in November 2008, my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer. I was having issues with friends, being away from home, school work-related stress, and everything just came crashing down at once. I went back to cutting. I'm trying really, really, really hard to stop. I've been cutting for almost a year now and it's been getting worse and worse. I know that if I don't stop soon, I won't live to graduate college.
This is my life as a recovering self-injurer.
I don't think you should identify yourself with self-injury. That just makes it still so much a part of you. You are recovering...rejoice! Don't hold onto it! JESUS LOVES YOU!
