No offense, but I agree with Kendall. Being told that I am shameful just makes me feel worse. Most of what you said is true though. It is hard to stop, I can't seem to. I find it harder and harder to wear short sleeves, and I won't even try a tank top without a sweatshirt over it. Its not that I'm ashamed of it though, if I was out in public where nobody knew me, that would be a different story. I just can't have the people that know me that might do something about it know.
Make-up always works for me though. I don't know what I'm going to do when I rejoin my swim team. It looks like I'm going to need some waterproof foundation.
I would encourage people to read it if it didn't make me feel worse about myself.
You are right, it is bad, and there isn't an easy fix for it. Once you've started, there is only so much time before you can stop immediately. Maybe there isn't any time at all.
Cutting is never the way to go. I have gotten to that "point" before. It's horrible and wonderful (for me) at the same time. Words can't describe it. You just don't want to end up there, trust me.
Sorry if this is going all over the place.
