Are you a “cutter” and don’t even know it?
Self-injury, largely through the behavior of “cutting,” is often experienced, in tandem with disordered eating.
But I am putting it out there, that almost all of us are affected with this harmful condition in one way or another.
Sound like an exaggeration?
How else do you explain the many self-inflicted, tormenting thoughts, words, or deeds we engage in, daily?
Have you ever been on a diet? Have you ever said to yourself or others, “I’m too fat?”
I have come across many young people who are “cutters.”
They often use razor blades and any sharp instrument for bloodletting. I have also seen, unfortunately, some graphic images of females taking scissors and knives to themselves, trying to cut their self-determined fat away from their bodies.
And, in the diet/fitness industries, doesn’t this sound like that exact language used to sell their products?
“Trim inches;” “Cut calories...”
We don’t see knives or scissors, but the cutting away sentiment is there, all the same.
