Open Self-Injury

I started to self hard 4 yrs ago when I was diagnosed with a visual impairment and my life became 10 times harder...as if it wasn't hard enough with dyspraxia and goodness knows what else!! I find it very hard to express my emotions and by self harming I felt that i was able to do that even though it wasn't the right thing to do!

Psychotherapy Not Working

Counseling didn't work it just upset me and made me feel frustrated because I didn't no how I felt or why I really did it...I also found it very hard to talk to the person about me!!

Open Eating Disorders

Before my GCSE exams started in Summer 07 I started to skip meals and not eat. It got so bad that I was eating about 1/2 a sandwich a day-obviously not enough for a 16yr old on the go all day! I hadn't realised how bad it had got until my friend spent 2hrs with me whilst I ate a sandwich. After that she was determined to get me to my GP's! I went to the GP's and was told I had an ED in the making, at the moment things at pretty stable but triggers set things off with a vengeance!!!

Open Depression

I was diagnosed with depression when I went to the doctors because I wasn't eating...they suspect it started because many things were going wrong in my life and I felt I had no control. I have days where I'm ok but days where I want to curl up in the corner and die are more frequent!!
