| Simiria - metalgirl999@hotmail.com | | Comments - hello.Iīve got issues. Depression and anxiety are the most well-known, among others.Nothing has or will ever save me. As i need at least one quick breath for this constant painīs suffocation, i put my fate on my sweet blades.There is my relief.For short time i can take a deep breath, and i enjoy because i know then everything comes back to haunt me.Blood runs free, i can see how it wants to leave, as it takes some anguish with it.Blades are my friends, since i give them the trust i cannot give to my flesh and bone friends,that if i trully have them.Itīs all so unreal when i see all the people laughing with no reason and iīm left behind in my eternal sorrows.Few people see the scars but why do they care about those while the ones that in our souls are those that hurt the most? This is my shelter, where i run when i need, this is my art, the way i expose what i cannot put into words or even understand. Tears donīt satisfact me. Even when i had it all i could ask for, emptiness as always been there.In the darkness i wonder why. Try to figure out the reason of all this nightmare.Iīve slapped myself to wake up but it seems there is no way out from this labyrinth. Iīve screamed but those silent screams were never heard or misunderstood. Those screams, how i wanted them to be heard by someone who would scare my loliness away. I like to dream awake but it hurts too much when i realise iīm unworthy.Still, i remain here stopping myself from getting to know whatīs keeping me here, stopping me from getting to know the confort of suicide. Whatīs behind death? is the only way out? the only chance i will ever get? If iīm in this purgatory state then i want to know everything from the source till the end.You may think iīm the tippical teenager going through a crisis but itīs not quite like that. Iīm young ( 15) but if it was just a phase then why do i keep here alone struggling through every battle against myself and the rest of the world after all this years?...Medication was never the cure.This wonīt disappear that easily.please help me. donīt know where to turn to. iīm just a child of dispair. Selfish still seeking imaginary salvation. Laugh if you want to...One mansītears in anotherīs amusement. Just another humiliation. Wonīt lie and say itīs ok. Sorry for wasting your time. Wish you all a better life than mine will always be... |

| Lee - ligg83@hotmail.com | | Comments - I am a 21 yr old female. I have been self harming since I dont know when but have just noticed its an issue. I cut my inner arms and legs. My Dad suffers from Manic depression and has blips now and again that are very stressful and scary you know what it's like when you see the people you love under strain and hurt. I think he see's me in him...as in he had issues similar with his dad there for he shouts and argues with me in particular when he is ill. I know it is only because he is unwell at times and he would never ever do this in good health..when he is well he doesnt even know he has said things to me its not physical its emotional. When this happens I feel like its all my fault and I turn to self harm...or i get so worked up have to release anger without causing disruption within the household as this would make matters worse its a hard suituation, I have tryed to be strong and look after the family etc through this from an early age..I feel this is how this started. This is the first time talked about this, wrote about it. I really want to stop its terrible...and I feel so ashamed afterwards and angry that I done that to myself. I guess I am looking for an alternative to self harming in the suituations I have mentioned. Especially when I am unable to do or go anywhere because its late at night when this happens sometimes and I dont want to bother people. I dont know what you can do for me....and I appologise for writing this I mean look at the length of this! I am so sorry I just needed to do something as I cant tell my Mum she has had and has enough in her life without this. Thankyou for reading this though.
Regards, Lee. |

| heidi alden - heid68@yahoo.com | | Comments - I have a 13 year old daughter who has been cutting for a few months now. She is extemely closed off with me when I try to even just ask how she is. I do not push her into talking, it is something that she was never very open to. For the most part she is a great kid, normal swings, decent grades. I know that her friends are involved in cutting as well. I really need to hear what others have done to positively deal with this situation. |

| Joellen Barak - jbarak@smumn.edu | | Comments - I'm a 38-yr-old single mom of a 13 year old girl who self-injures. I'm looking for the best ways to help my daughter cope with her pain, and also to anywhere I can turn for support for myself. I feel really scared and alone right now. We have a family history of depression, but we're still waiting for an "official" diagnosis for my daughter. She's never been abused emotionally, physically, or sexually, but has an eating disorder and low self-esteem. It's hard for me to understand--she's so bright, beautiful, and kind--but she doesn't believe me or anyone else who loves her. I hurt so much for her!! |

| Felisha - bama_cntrychick18@yahoo.com | | Comments - Hi! I am 19 years old and I have a cutting problem. It all started when I was 13 years old. I was more of an academic person because I needed to stay away from home as much as possible due to the fact that I was never supported by my mother. She was verbally and sometimes phisically abusive when I was younger and then continuously became a heavier verbal abuser and I never knew how to deal with the anger as I would sit in my room in the dark and cry myself to sleep every night. I started gymnastics when I was 7 but the happiness that it brought me soon faded as depression overtook my mind. I continued with gymnastics and still felt very depressed so in 7th grade I started playing soccer. I had alot of friends that were really cool but they were never the kind of friends that I could talk to about my depression. We would hang out after school and after practice but when it came time to go home I would soon find myself depressed all over again. I began cutting myself and soon came to the realization that it relieved my stress and I was more active and more open with my friends for a short while. But as the time soon came again every day to go home anger and pain repeatedly built up inside my chest. I would then cut and squeeze the blood onto white tissue paper to come to self realization that I was still alive. I coverd it well while I wore under armor for soccer and we wore long sleeved body armor for gymnastics. I soon met a 17 year old guy and because I was only 15 it seemed so cool to date someone older. I ended up losong my virginity to him uncomfortable to the whole situation under great pressure he had put upon me. I had just entered 8th grade. The whole year I played soccer and stayed in gymnastics but he stressed me out and would demand time instead of doing my homework. I went from a straight A honor student to an 8th grade failure. I cut deeper finding my pain more built inside my chest just getting deeper and deeper. All of my friends would move on and I would have to stay here and repeat 8th. I made new friends and still kept the friends I had. I then started cheerleading. I was still attending gymanstics and soccer but I still was stressed. After I finally passed 8th grade and aced it cheerleading started tryouts soon came in august. I started 9th grade in september. At that point in time my stepfather would constantly try to get his way with me as he would try and touch me and he would rub certain areas up against me. I went to the police and they didnt believe me along with my mother. I hid. I soon came to relalize I was three months pregnant with my boyfriends baby. My mom surprisingly was there for me and she calmed down a bit with her language and abuse all together. and I ended up getting pregnant before my sixteenth birthday and had my beautiful son. I stopped cutting until my boyfriend started Physically abusing me. He would wake me up in the middle of the night and start yelling at me because he thought I was dreaming about another man. Me and him and my son moved to alabama from ny to his mothers house. I found a good job. Me and my boyfriend Aaron had to move into our own place. He wasnt working so I tried paying 400 dollars rent and 200 for electric while I only cleared 700 a month. I worked Sun-Sat every week. 10-9 at night. My son barely new me. I would come home to find my son in his crib alone and daddy out drinking vodka and doing drugs again. He would come home and hit me and throw lamps at me. He took his beer bottles and smashed them threatening me. I would grab my son and hide. With no vehicle at the present time there was no place to go. I would sit in the closet bunched up cutting my arm. Inside I was screaming. Pain just filled my whole body as I felt worthless. I felt everything was my fault. I sat in the dark in fear for my son but not myself. I told him. "Hurt me before you ever touch my son." My son did nothing and I will not tolerate any pain given to him as you give to me. My boss would find bruises and marks on my arms and Cuts from knives and razors. Bruises all over my back soon were found when I would jump to the thought of someone touching it. Every night there was more pain. More abuse. When he finally threw a lamp at me with my son in my arms I ended it. I put my son in the other romm and I grab a knife and my cell phone. I sliced my arm in front of him to relive the pain for one minute so I would not kill Aaron not knowing what I was doing. I cut to deep. I called the police and they rushed to sound of his name and my address which was more popular every night. Aaron hit me in the forhead and then left for the cops to make the next move. I still cut but my son is safe now and so am I. I moved to WA state to my boyfriends house whom I met off the internet. And yes we knew eachother well and I came for 4 days before I moved. Everytime I get depressed I cut. I have a wonderful friend Jeremiah who understands better than my boyfriend. I tell him alot and he listens. I trust him. He always makes me feel more important than I think I am and lets me know he cares. But the thing is .... I still cut. I do not want to scare him away because if any chance possible I would like to be with him. I just wish I found him sooner. He is the sweetest and most generous guy ever to have come into my life. I hope he feels the same way. I still cut. Can someone help me? |

| Arvind - arvind_0123@gawab.com | | Comments - Hi friends! Im 29 yrs old and I came under stress due to the unlikely behavior of younger cousin sister who is of 15 yrs towards me. Actually she is also my student and I am teaching here a computer science at Class X. She is also good in here studies and mostly scores more than 80% marks in here every subject. But in the month of December 2005 and January 2005 Pre-Board Exams here scoring dropped to 30%. This kind of here performance disturbed me very much and I discussed this matter with her parents. And since that day two weeks past and she was not talking with me, even doesn't want to look at my face and becomes uncomfortable by my presence. This kind of here behavior broken me deeply. Because earlier she always use to gives love and respect to me, now why my sweat sister is doing all this at a sudden to me. I need a great help in this connection please help me out from this situation. Your great suggestions are greatly needed. Can someone help me out? Please. |

| Stephanie - Stephbunny@650dialup.com | | Comments - I am a thirteen year old female sufferer. I still have not fest up to my parents, I kind of would like them to figure it out thier selves. It all started when I found out my sister was pregnate. I was so broke down, I busted my mirror and started cutting into my leg. It took so much off of me. Now every time I get depressed or angy I go in my room and cut away. Maybe it will take away the pain, I thougt. But it never has totally erased it. To top it off my sister say rood things to me and treats me like crap. Well, her and the rest of the world. I geuse I just want a boy friend, and my mother to pay attention to me like she used to. But I never can get her to see. |

| Bev - berl67@bigpond.com.au | | Comments - My boyfriend is an intelligent,caring, gentle, sucessful and loving person and I care for him deeply. He is also a self injurer. I have never been involved this closely with a self injurer before. He chooses to burn himself with lit cigarettes and car lighters. I first noticed the burns a few weeks ago. When I asked him about it he was obviously not prepared to answer any questions and said it was nothing and made up a story that it was insect bites. I am the mother of two small girls but I am not concerned for their safety or my own as he is extreamly passive and avoids conflict at all costs. I feel that I can't ignore this any longer, and wonder if he has ever discussed his self injury with anyone. I don't know how to approach the subject, and to let him know that his self injuring behaviour is just a small part of who he is. I don't want to risk our relationship by confronting him agressively, I want him to know that I will be there for him. I also realize that I can support him but what if he doesn't want to try and stop? Will I be risking our relationship even to ask again about it. Any input you have will be helpful. Thanks, Bev |

I started cutting myself when i was 10, to releas stress. Then i found out i had to move. The move was hard on me. My parents were divorced and my dad was still living with me. Then my dad causeing problems and so he moved out. Not too long ago i got diognosed with ADHD, Depression, and Anger problems. I always thought it was better to hurt myself rather than hurt the ones i love, now that i realize that it is a problem i know i need to get help. |

| Shannon - sisterselwyn@yahoo.com | | Comments - I'm 14, I'm not sure if I'm depressed, but I'm pretty upset most of the time. But I'm not here about myself, I am here about a friend of mine. I recently found out that she was cutting herself. After much thought and conversing with friends of hers and mine, I decided to talk to her. I wasn't just going to sit back and watch her cut away to nothing. I talked to her, and I think she listened and maybe even considered what I was saying to her. How it was a serious problem and a big deal. She agreed to go see the school pyscatrist once a week. It appeared that things were taking a turn for the better. But I'm not so sure, ever since I talked to her about her problem, she seems to be avoiding me and not wanting to talk to me anymore. Maybe it's just that I have a bad personality or that she's just not comfortable talking to me about anything anymore? Does anyone out there have any advice for me, I want to help her because I don't want to see her harming herself. She is my friend and I don't want to lose her. But I am stressing over this, about how I am a bad friend and I probably just made things worse, because that's how she is making me feel. I just don't know what to do next, can anyone help? I would prefer talking on Instant Messenger, my screen name is HeyItsMe1024 . Hope to talk to you soon. |

| brandi - spoiledbowler96@aol.com | | Comments - hey guys i am a female and i have had many issues for a while now. it has been about 3 years.i started with anorexia and i got caught, then i decided well if everyone is going to make sure i eat then i guess the next best thing wud be bulimia so i did that and wudn't u know i got caught again so then i started cutting which takes me to where i am today. the last time i wrote here was quit a while ago and this really nice guy imed me and he also was a cutter. we became close instantly we talked every night pretty much about cutting and everything. i knew instantly i was falling in love but i didn't know about the whole dating thing because the last guy i dated hurt me pretty bad and broke up with me because i was a cutter so i have some major trust issues. anywase i decided to take a risk and went for it. i recently broke up with him because i am really struggling with everything. he has been doing so good and i didn't wanna bring him down to. it kind of sounds selfish right? i know. i thought so too but he has been amazing!!! even though we are not together we are still close and possibly getting back together soon but i broke up with him because i have not been the greatest person to be around. i made a promise to one of my best friends that if i cut again i will turn myself into to my parents and of coarse my mom is a psciatric nurse which really doesn't help matters right? latelty all i can think about is how badly i wanna cut and i really want to tonight but there is also something else that factors into this i had a friend commit suicide back in november. she actually passed away on thanksgiving and she started with self injury. she was like the only person who understood and now my life is so off the wall and i can't do the one thing i need and while i am struggling i brought down the one person who means the world to me. i dont know what to do it is just so hard and i dont know how much more i can take. i have been caught once with my cutting but my mom thinks i have stopped but i am losing it. if anyone has any suggestions to help me out on things to keep my mind off of it please email me or im me and if u need help i will try and help u anyway possible. well thanks for listening <3 brandi |

and I've been cutting myself
for over a year. My life just
seems to be a pile of stress and
punishing myself in every way
possible relieves alot of it.
My friends abandon me, and it
seems like no one understands.
I am a Christian, and I go to
a Christian school. It seems
like no one else in my school
can make mistakes like me. I'm
the one with a serious problem
that I can't even control. I've
almost committed suicide and it is
really hard for me to stay living
day after day. If only my friends
and parents knew what I'm going through...... |

| Ashleigh - vb718gbg@aol.com | | Comments - 15 female i need help on how to stop cutting. i just want to know how i can stop. |
|
| Shannon - sisterselwyn@yahoo.com | | Comments - Stopping has to be a gradual thing. Just try your hardest to do it one less time, every other day? Or whatever works for you, until you are no long dependant on it. Or whenever you feel like doing it, write in a journal, exercise, talk to someone, just find a healthy alternative that works for you. Stopping will not happen overnight. Just work hard and think positively! |

I have been cutting since I was 15 and I have numerous permanant scars on my arms and legs. I'm dealing with getting over the addiction of cutting. I don't really have a horrible reason to, I'm not alone, and I'm not depressed. But, when I'm stressed out I have anxiety attacks and it makes me want to cut again. I'm just looking for a way to overcome the anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach and how to not feel like I'm on drugs. I start twitching at the thought of it! |

| Stephanie - honey_bunny1016@yahoo.com | | Comments - For all my life things were complex. As a I writer/songwriter, I'd continuesly try to drain every bit of it out and pour it onto the paper. But that didn't work. Then, I blamed my mom. The truth is, if not for my dad I'd be in a foster home. I take therapy...I even skipped school to try to feel ok. But everything I ever done in my life, never really worked. So I started blaming every incident, from my step-dad being an alcoholic abuser, my mom with her disease like sickness, my grandma who wants to take her away from me, my sister who hurts me, and me being adopted, and my moms boyfriend living in our house even though i had only known him for at least a month...and even more chaos, the last thing that came in mind was feeling something else to erase it. So, since I had to move downstairs in sleep in the main room(my roof fell), and no one was around, I grabbed a small knife and started cutting myself. Not serious...but just I have a couple scratches. REALLY long, also. One is atleas 3 inches...but the pain...so I stiopped. But here I am at my dads...and I just want to do it again. I have this feeling that makes me want to bleed because I think it's gonna make me feel better. and the truth is, a couple nights ago it did...I just need help in so many ways. I told my mom 2 days ago, and she went balistic and sent me straight to therapy with her today.
i never really injured myself seriously...but i am afraid sooner or later i will. please email me...and the truth im rediculously young.
and that really sucks for things to be a big black hole of chaos and confusion...im looking for ways how to stop,even though i want too. |

| alien - alientheet@hotmail.com | | Comments - Im 22. I started cutting myself wen i was about 15. My brother was engraving his gf's name on his arm & i asked how he could do it, he said it doesnt really hurt so i tried it & then i was hooked. I dont know why i do it. I just feel good wen i do it. When i was younger i had cuts all over my hands & up & down my arms, mostly shallow, now there are less, but they are deeper. i get this feeling of ectasy as i draw the blade over my skin, a compulsion to go deeper and deeper. I feel my eyes go big & my muscles tense & my breathing quicken as i get ready for the slash, then i do it, quick, without thinking or enjoying the pain, i just like it but i dont know why.
to get rid of any preconceptions im intelligent, i am studying to be a nurse, Im a happy person with a bf & i know he hates what i do. i have a great family, good friends & have never experienced abuse. i dont want to kill myself. usually i dont even think about mutilation, but if i see a blade, or wen i am drinking especially i just need to do it. |

| jes - 200508259@ufh.ac.za | | Comments - i am 19years old. i have been cutting for about 4 and a half years. my parents separated when i was 9 then got back together later that year. they fought constantly over the following 4 years and my father was always sick and incapable of keeping a job. we moved from a comfortable living to a caravan where we lived for 8 months after which we moved to a house that was barely still standing. my mother's sister left her husband and moved in with us and her children so there were 7 people living in a three bedroomed house. they moved out the following year. i started high school in 1999 i was 13. within a month my parents decided to get divorced and we moved out. my mother, brother and i moved in with three other people we had known for years. my father moved to another city and i havnt seen him since. he used to phone my on my birthdays and sometimes on christmas, but only when my mother reminded him. the christmas before i turned 15 my mother got involved with a man. a month later they had decided to get married and in april 2001 they did. i now have 3 step sisters and a step father who spends his life trying to make mine a misery. i went to a psychologist for the three months before they got married, she told me i was having an "identity crisis", then she hypnotised me and decided i was "all better". ya, right! soon after the wedding i started cutting. at first it was really only heavy scratching without the blood, but that changed. i used serated knives until i discovered smooth ones. now i use craft knife blades. my family have never noticed and only a few of my friends know -because i told them. my step sisters only lived with us last year, they made things very tense. i studied away from home last year, but my grandfather died just before christmas without me saying goodbye cos he made every1 promise not to tell me how bad he was getting. this made me very scared something might happen to my family if i go back, so i transfered to a varsity in my home town. but now my family are driving my way over the edge. i need to cut more all the time, i get very sad and irratable if i dont. the worst part is, i think, that everybody thinks im this happy person and nothing ever goes wrong in my life. that makes me madder than anything else. |

| sharon - s.davies29@btinternet.co.uk | | Comments - i have all these feelings&thoughts inside of me
When i cut myself i set them all free
If i feel that i can`t cope anymore
I urt myself like so many times before
I know that people think that what i do is wrong
Yet i have to cut when the urge get`s too strong
At times i feel so low&full of despair
Like i`m all alone& no-one does care
How do i get over feeling so low&blue
Can anyone tell me what it is i must do
I want to take control of my life
To stop hurting myself with a razor or knife THIS IS HOW I FEEL&WRITTING IT DOWN HELPS A LITTLE |

| Samantha - marcsee@bellsouth.net | | Comments - My name's Samantha. I'm 15, a sophmore, and am suffering from trichillomania. it has consumed my life for the past seven years, all of which i've been trying to get rid of it. I've been punished, beaten(spanked),pleaded with, prayed with, bribed, scared, everything except a psychiatrist, which i don't want to go to, because they'll prolly give me medicine, which i'm against..
my dad died last year after three years off suffering and decaying with ALS, a disease that attacks your nervous system, and makes your muscles decay.. after his left lung collapsed, the hospice nurse basically euthanised him, even though he was pleading for her to stop.
that's my reason.
after he died, my condition seemed to accelerate... i pull hair daily, hourly in fact. i know that it's wrong, but i don't know why i do it. therefore, my hair is rapidly decreasing. my family knows about this condition, but my friends, and boyfriend, who i love dearly, don't. i hide it with all my might that i'm going bald, but the hair i'm covering it up with is getting pulled as well, and i'm afraid that they'll know soon.
i have also recently began to cut myself. not bad, but i'm afraid it might get that way.
I need help... lots of it. |

| louise Wibberley - louise@concrete-grinding.com | | Comments - I have just found out that my brother has been cutting himself, mainly because we give him a hard time, but this is only because he lies to us and has a major attitude. How can i help him but also show him that his attitude needs to change then we wouldn't give him such a hard time! He is 19 years old and my parents are away in France at the moment so i don't know how to deal with it! |

| Ashley - adpashley_pattersonadp@hotmail.com | | Comments - Hi... I'm Ashley... I'm sorta new to this... Even though ya. I am 15. I've been cutting since I was 13. Everyone that is close to me know's I do this. I suffer from depression and when I get into a fight I can't control myself. I just start screaming and crying and throwing a fit. I can't control myself so I cut to make it better. I cut even when some little tiny thing happens. I have a great boyfriend and I love him to death. He hates that I cut. So I'm doing this for him. Lately I've been cutting myself in places no one will see. I want to stop, but it is hard. I would also like to help people who have just started cutting. Please help me.
