hi my name is mel... for a long time i used self harm as a way of dealing with my past... i havent self harmed for over a year now.. i couldnt cope with lookin at my scars on my arms everyday.. it disturbed me to see those scars and i promised myself i would not do it again , that i would seek counselling.

i have bein in counselling all my life to deal with my past and everytime i got somewhere .. the counsellor would get up and leave me in the lurch... i spoke about real deep stuff to them ...

recently i have had thoughts to self harm.. as i realize i am not over my past..the wound r still there i just want a release from it....

i dont want to do this i really dont ... i need support right now .. im in bits

" You should be so proud of yourself. To make it a year without cutting is really great.
I think you know that in the long run cutting isn't going to make the bad stuff from the past go away. How about writing about how you're feeling. Have you tried calling a family member or a friend?
I know that really helps me when i want to cut. "
