Sometimes I want to look like I feel.  Instead of starving, purging, cutting, or other destructive methods, I have tried to find other ways to express myself.  Sometimes trying to express how I feel is almost impossible.  No words can describe the intensity of the pain, the loneliness, the despair, the self-hatred, the guilt, the shame, and the many other emotions deep within me.   I began trying to use body art to describe how I feel.  Instead of cutting, I would draw "cuts" on my arm with anything red.  It also helped drawing on my face what I felt like on the inside.  I would definitely recommend using this method!!  Click here for more ideas and alternatives to cutting. These are some pictures in which I have tried to examine and explore how I feel.  I can make it take up a lot of time and almost look at it as my way to be truthful with myself.
