| Posted By: katana Posted On: Nov 17, 2001 Views: 954 | The first cut I cut myself for the first time yesterday. When my partner saw what I had done, he got angry and called me stupid. That just wanted to make me pick the knife up again. When I did, he grabbed it out of my hand. Then he called me stupid again. He wanted to know why I'd done it, I did it for punishment, to punish myself for a stupidity I'd committed eight years ago. I couldn't find the words that would explain that without being told I was being stupid again. Now he thinks I'm mentally unstable. Okay, I've had severe depression for three years and it's got worse over the past two months. When will people learn that I'm not stupid, I'm just so frightened. This might not seem like much of a comment to anyone reading this, put it down to my impending insanity. |

PS (try extremely cold showers - i don't think they're bad for you but they sometimes help me) PPS REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS (with you all 1000+%) |
| Posted By: stephie Posted On: Oct 14, 2001 Views: 953 | positive the only truly positive reaction i have recieved was from a very good friend of mine who many years ago cut his wrist. He wasn't supportive in the sense that he is happy with what I am doing, but he thanked me for confiding in him and he gave me a hug...there's no better way to react. some of us are not that lucky, and had it not been for him there would have been no one left to react to. it is my wish that all of you are as lucky as i am. |
| Posted By: Samantha Posted On: Oct 7, 2001 Views: 951 | Husband I harmed 2 days ago...my husband just saw the cuts and said that in a freaky way they are beautiful. This may seem strange to someone else but that helps me. It lessens the shame. I dont like to been seen anyway-but he sees all of me, scars and all, and loves me still. In the world of those that harm, I know I am truly blessed. |

| Posted By: Posted On: Sep 8, 2001 Views: 943 | My Mum and Dad get upset, frustrated, angry at themselves and me. Friends comments? -Well I aint got non! No one wants to know me, plus I can't trust people anymore anyway! People at hospital were very judgemental, and after explaining why I do it! |
| Posted By: Posted On: Aug 5, 2001 Views: 934 | Self harnm is a very hard thing to admit to, I have been doing it for over 21 years and no one knows. too scared to let anyone know |
| Posted By: Posted On: Jul 28, 2001 Views: 930 | Most of my friends don't know about my self-harm. The majority of people that do know choose to ignore the fact. There is one who is understanding (but then she's bulimic so our relationship works both ways!) |
| Posted By: Posted On: Jul 13, 2001 Views: 920 | one mate doesn't believe me, 2 have been very supportive but no one else knows |
| Posted By: Posted On: Jul 8, 2001 Views: 929 | my boyfriend is the most supportive of me. my family simply cries and cries, than questions me ((and my sanity)) and cries some more. i love you aaron. i need you. |
| Posted By: Posted On: Jul 3, 2001 Views: 922 | everyone has a differnt idea of what self harm is until they see a wound or scar on a loved one. then it all changes. my husband is supportive, mom was understanding, dad was angry and scared. friends try to understand but cant . |
