Self Harm
-
I believe several people here do or did this, and it was difficult for them to stop. I kinda becomes a 'drug' for some people and a form of release but most people who do this would like to stop, I believe.

hi ive do want to stop self harming, and i have had a good few attempts at it. but, like u said, it becomes addictive. ive tred a few sugestions like counting when you want to self harm, or singing to music but none of that works for me. i just wandered if you had any sugestionsthanks

hey, been close to doing ti myself many times. try slicing up a soft toy when you feel you wanna, heard that helps
-
i email a close friend. i promised him i would when i got to thinking i wonted to do that. if that don't help and he's not around to help .....i have failed him and my parents.. they have took any kind of sharp things from me. not just knives and razers cuz ithey stopped me or found me trying to do sucide but i can't have staples, taks, paperclips. i thought about using a pen b4...like a ball piont.. don't worry (u know who i'm talking too)i didn't do it. i have went to my prents b4 to keep from doing it. i really doon't know what else to say......
-
That's good advice, a support system when all else fails. You could try that, and PM me if you feel like harming yourself. You have to make sure to write, though, before you harm!
-
yeah, well... I fucked up again last night
-
"stopping Self injury behavior is easier said than done"
-
you ok?? worried
-
your right stopping slef harm is easier said than done but with the right support team on standby it will make things alot eaiser

hi me again people,thanks for all your help and sugestions, but i have failed again. i know that giveing it up is hard, and that i cant hope to stop self harming just like that, but it would just be nice to see some hope, or an improvement, no matter how minor it is. im trying not to get everything get to me as much but i am finding it really hard when no one around me knows anythings wrong; in fact not one of my " friends" has even asked how i am, in months. oh well. i guess ill be on here again soon...

Anon… as the others have said here, why not join and make it official. Yeah there are some “jerks” here, but overall almost everyone will look out for each other.I know that trying to stop self-harming is hard. I’ve been doing it on and off since I was 14. For me I start again when I get low again, over the last three months, I’ve gone a week, 2 sometimes 3 weeks and then have started it again. The last time I’ve cut this time, has been about a week and a half. But as I said to someone else here (I really should take my own advice), that you should take each day you didn’t cut as a step of achievement, and if you do give in, if only once, start counting the days again.You have probably read some of the posts I’ve made when I’ve felt like doing it again, for me, this place is my “escape” from reality. I didn’t do it because I was “attention seeking” or anything like that, for me it was so that I could get things right in my head, and in another stupid way, for people like you to understand that your not alone out there.Anyways, as the others said, why not join up… choose a “cool username” and stick around, we might call ourselves a community, but we are really all one big family.

that is sooo sweet of you diver

hi all, see i have signed up, and i will try to come on here when i feel like cutting, which will be good. its really hard at the moment, coz im in year 11, i have all the exams comming up soon, its the mock exams next month, so i feel even worse than normal. its not just that though, my personal life is getting harder to live with, aswell. all of my friends and the few people i could rely on are feeling the stresses of the exams aswell. and they allways have their own problems that they insist on having my help with, and then i end up worrying about them. sorry i went in to a bit of a rant there.thanks
