I want to cut right now. So badly. My partner is driving me nuts. Everything went wrong today. Two weeks of misery and no end in sight. Maybe another two years of #######4. He just got a puppy and she makes him stressed which makes his mental illness flair up which makes me stressed and mentally unwell. It's a house of torment. My best friend is out of town too so I can't even get ...

These scars are permanent tattoos.

Except they're worse than ink tattoos because they indicate emotional distress, self hatred, and self cruelty.

I don't have any children yet, but I can't hide my scars forever. One of these days, maybe after a shower or when I'm changing, my future children will see my self harm scars and ask me how I got them.

Hi everyone,
I was just looking for some advice. When I was 14 I cut myself, I think I only did it about twice in total but I'm now 24 and I still have the scars, I hate them.

Hello it is my first time here. I think I need to introduce first. I am a 19 year old male.I am also a virgin, and that makes me quite sad. I have been on therapy for about 4 years, have been seeing a psychiatrist for about a year, and taking abti-depressants and sleeping pills for a year too. I cut myself for the first time about a year and a half ago, and since ...

I'm 24 and have been struggling with cutting on and off for ten years. I recently started cutting again but this time i feel more shame than normal because i feel like i should gave "grown out of this" by now. Does anyone else struggle with this or is it just me?

...and I'm highly considering hiding them for "emergencies" only. My mother hid ALL of the scissors after finding out that I used them to cut up the back of my hand. I know i shouldn't be doing this, but self harm is honestly been keeping me (mostly) sane recently, and I can't get the same sensation with sewing needles. What do you recommend I do instead?

First of I don't want to commit suicide, that's not what I'm saying... I just want to not be here for a little while. I was think maybe 40mg would knock me out for a while
