The average cutter grows out of their habits around the age of 18-19, or towards the beginning of college. Victims of rape and sexual abuse generally don't "outgrow" self harm until their mid thirties or until they have given birth to children.
Interesting statistic...I can see how having children could make a woman give up cutting...I mean, you don't want little children asking "mommy, what happened to your arm?" and such. But wow...I hope it doesn't apply to me.
I'm so blah-ish today. Finally got some Xrays done by request of my mother...I broke three ribs, not one. Nothing I can do about that except pop painkillers and wait. It hurts though, really. Even being in that up-right position while driving puts me in agony. And lifting heavy objects or stooping to pick something up? Forget that.
Happy Friday. I want a tranquil weekend, for once. I've had enough drama lately.
