i hate the fact that you all think that by bringing your daughter to the doctor is just going to magically solve the problem…. it doesn’t. i’ve gone, i’ve listening to them and it was a joke. I’ve stopped cutting for about 3 years, and once again found no other answer…. i just hope you realize there is more to it…. don’t talk about it, as if its just a symptom you can cure.

Just a side note – the picture is not of Tom’s daughter. It is a free stock photo that illustrates some of Tom’s points. Tom and I agreed that it was not appropriate to publish an actual picture in this instance. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

Tom,
Is there any way that we can communicate?
Im am co-authoring a book entitaled “Winning the Battle Against My Mind. This book is a testemonial about a teen age girl and young adult who suffered with anorexia, cutting and purging.
I was caught by the picture of your daughter as I was looking for just the right picture for the cover of my book.
I am an ordained Minister and have written several books dealing with such things as abandonment, abuse, rebelion, perversion and the like. Thank you for your time. Hope to her from you soon.

Sophie – there are many good resources available, including the ones listed at the end of this post; however, nothing beats open communication about this with your family and loved ones, as well as being willing to reach out for the help you may need. You are not alone, and I’m sure that there are people who can identify with your challenges and offer alternative and healthy solutions to cutting.
