Unseen Scars: Help for Those Who Struggle With Self Abuse

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this article in advance.

I would like to cover a few topics that have recently come to my attention.

The first of these topics is that of self mutilation, that is on the rise in this country and around the world. It is especially prevalent among young people.

Some of those that practice a form of self mutilation where they scarify themselves are known as cutters. Cutters all to often use cutting to relieve pressure in a stressful situation.

There are safer ways to relieve stress, buy a journal, talk to a counselor, but don’t cut.

Cutters often have trouble acknowledging that they need help, or they’re afraid to ask.

Dear ones if you know somebody who is mutilating themselves, do not just stand by.

Do not just let it happen, instead talk to them, help them deal with the circumstances they are going through in a healthy way.

Cutting and other forms of self mutilation are often done in secret, the people that do it

often have problems relating to others or they fear asking for help will cause people to ostracize them. Asking for help when a person needs it is not a weakness,

It shows great courage when someone is able to admit they have a problem.

We all go through situations that are hard to handle, there is always help if you seek it.

You do not have to face your struggles alone.

To all who read this, thank you and God Bless.
