News of Cutting and Self Injury Forum

Hi all, im new here, to this site. This post may never make it through protocol. And i know SH is destructive, (part of the point for me at least) but it feels helpful for me. Sadly. Feels preventative sometimes. Just curious if anyone out there feels the same. No worries either way. Take care everyone

I feel like cutting is my addiction... I haven't cut in a little over 3 months and have been having really bad urges to do so lately....i feel like no one i know understands even though they want to help. I guess I'm looking for maybe a self harm "sponsor"? Like they do at AA meetings? someone or a group i can go to in crisis and just say "I need a meeting" and have ...

I’ve previously self harmed, I got drunk and hadn’t done it for so long, I had an argument with my ex girlfriend and it turned sour; ended up self harming and being drunk I went through some nerves and it left *mod edit* really nasty scars, they’re around 3 months old and bio oil isn’t fading them... how can I hide these? I’ve started gym with friends and it prevents me from swimming or even ...

Hello. I'm absolutely NOT sure whether I should post here, anywhere else, or if I should even post this somewhere. I simply found this pretty interesting site while searching about schizoid personality disorder, which I might have (my psychiatrist says I'm not quite there, but I should be careful, otherwise I might go over the edge; and I on the other hand feel like I'm there already).

Must admit, I used to (as a guy for some girls) Altough, I stopped doing it for some reason or another for now anyway.

I just question the purpose of this as if I really wanted to kill myself I would not tell them as if you tell them that would seem like you are not really suicidal. I kind of felt guilty with my last appointment as I always like to be honest I got around it as last week she only asked would I be safe for the rest of the day so I was able to ...

I am a 20 years old NEET with no motivation to change anything about it.

For the longest time I was told to 'grow up', that things like passion, enthusiasm and enjoyment are childish and I need to grow out of these things. So now that I'm an adult, I did grow out of them.
However, it sucks. It stripped me of all hope and motivation. And the only way I'm able to feel happiness ...

Have been having a hard time lately. Good days / really bad days. Not bipolar. Noticed today doing dumb stuff resulting in minor injuries. Immediately after think *that was dumb*. Like...poured boiling water out of pan on dishes in sink which splashed onto our hand. Stupidity, early onset senior moment, inattention or something else? Just day before grabbed bath handrail after applying body oil. Hands still oily, slid down hit our tub side & hurt ...
