Does anyone hurt themselves?

For those of you out there who think we’re ‘defacing our bodies’ you oviously don’t understand. I don’t cut because’ I want to. I cut because’ I have to. Its a coping mechanism. I would also like to recommend a good SI support site www.recoveryourlife.com.

I used to do it on a regular basis.. I’ve stopped now. Urghh it’s horrible.. and I used to feel like nobody would understand..

:S

Peace xx

yea I try to stop but cant HELPPP!!!

Heey.. I’m confused.. Im sure FunAdvice (the person who posted this topic) is a robot. How comes the robot is saying that they used to self-harm themselves. Hmm strange..

Ah, it is confusing. Very very. And it’s a hard thing to get out of. I’ve done it for years, but I had to stop. I got help, and then had a lapse a few weeks ago after about 8 months. And if I do it again, ever, my boyfriend…it’ll be bad. Try and get out of it, no matter how difficult it is. It might ruin your life later.

yup im a repetative self harmer im trying to stop now though there is a book that you can but though.

its from the basement project and the title is THE SELF-HARM HELP BOOK. it helps people by helping you explore why you do it and shows why other people do it and it also has pages of stuff to try and weave you off doing it by using different distractions and stuu like that its a good read as well. and there is lots of different books by these people as well its an ok site take a look. the books are for sale on there as well.

I have cut myself before. Yea, it is confusing to me.

my best friend used so self harm she was extreamly depressed and suicidal I had to talk her into getting help, she is ok now, but she still sees a psychatrist regularly incase she lapses

Yes, and it’s very hard to stop…

Your body is the palace of your soul, respect it as you would an innocent child in need of compassion & love :)

What is IT w/you young kids that you feel you have to deface your bodies??? Please you need help. Do you do this in secret or do your parents know & don’t care? They probably think in time it will pass!
