Hello. Just Wanting To Help People With Cutting And Self Harming Problems If I Can. I Am An Ex-SelfHarmer And I Know What You Are Going Through. It Is So Hard And Takes A Lot Of Effort To Stop If You Have Been Doing It For A While. I Havnt Done It Since January Now And I Am Very Proud Of Myself And I Really Want Others To Be Able To Do The Same.

So Anyone Out There Need Some Advice Or Someone To Talk To I'm Here =] <3

what made me want to stop was the fear of people finding out ... do ur loved ones already know about the cutting? xx

Well What Happened With Me Is A Teacher At School Noticed My Arms One Day And Questioned Me And I Was Put On The Spot And Broke Down.They Sed That It Was A Serious Issue And That They Were Going To Ring My Parents. I Was So Scared At The Thought Of My Parents Finding Out I Thort There Was No Point My Life Continuing.

But When They Did Find Out They Tried To Support Me And I Eventully Cut It Out And Gradually Got Better. I Did Try The Elastic Band Thing And The Ice Cube Thing But They DIdnt Work For Me.

What Worked In The End Is My Will Power When I Finnaly Decided That Self Harm Was Swallowing Up My Life.

I Dont Know How Well You Get On With Your Parents So I Dont Know How U Feel About Support From Them But Sometimes Friends Close To You Can Help Aswell.

I Dont Really Know Im Sorry Because I Wanted To Stop And When I Didnt I Was Depressed And Not Really Thinking.

Have You Watched Any Of The Self Harm Videos On Youtube Because They Helped Me Snap Out Of It A Little But It Could Do The Opposite And Be Triggering...

(Hugs) You Will Find A Way Through =])

yeh it would be my worse nightmare having them find out :( i know that they would be devastated that im doing it and theyd jus blame themselves and make matters worse ... as for friends their are a few that i could tell but then i dont want them looking or treating me differently ... rather live a normal life in other peoples eyes and keep what im doin behind closed doors till i stop xxx

i am a x- self harmer as well. i am here if you just want to talk. but as i read through some of the things that you have written i am worried, you have deffinatly come to the right place for support.

One thing that i want to ask you is..... is there something in your life that you find comfort in or someone that you love so much you would die for or even just something that is fun? i know what you are going through right now not to long ago i was in the same boat, to the point where i ended up in the ER for and evale. it sucked but kept me safe at the time. if you are really feeling bad i would hope that you might think of getting an evale at the nearest ER. but as i was saying i have been where you are but in the last two months or so i found two very speacial people that have supported me and have understood what i am going through and they are the reason i am still alive. i think at this point you need a person like that or a couple and i think that alot of the people in this fourm could help you out in that sense we are all here to help and support you through your time in need. please be safe and keep writing and we will help you get through this.
