      if you could do me a favor and go back to the hugs a few pages back and delete that hug that I put on there before I realized everyone else could see it? It's got my email, information lke that, ect. on it. hehe. a little paranoid. it'd put me at ease though.

    • Close Self-Injury

      The first time I self harmed was after my Gran died, when I was 16, my world crashed. I'm now 20 and I've started self harming again, its now an addiction along with tattoos. I have lost too many people and my best mates nearly lost her life to suicide attempts, I dont wantto go down that road anymore...but I cant stop.

      Treatments

      Outpatient Treatment Program Too Soon to Tell
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      i've been to councelling, twice. it didnt help me one bit! I'm waiting to see a psychologist, so we shall see how that goes.
      Red Marker Not Working
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      Squeezing Ice Working / Worked
      Talking Not Working
      no-one understands, and your mood changes so sudden. if you have a date planned to go see your doctor, that could be a good day and you dont feel like talking about how bad your feeling, its all unplanned and doesnt work for me.
      Tattoos Somewhat Helpful
      i believe this works for me for a while, as tattoos are very painful and after I've had a tattoo and saw the blood I feel a bit better. whenever I feel beyond low, i consider tattoos, or even get a tattoo. I currently have 6 and I've had 15 piercings, which I've taken out and I only have 3 left.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've had depression for about 4 and a half years, probably more that I was in denial of. The past 6 months have been the biggest struggles of my life. Im currently on 210mg of lofepramine and its still not working 100% for me, needs changed again.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused from as far back as I can remember. I have blocked the majority of it out tho, I have had a couple of flashbacks, but those are the only memories I have of it. However, that doesnt mean it doesnt affect me, I struggle everyday with anxiety, paranoia, extremely low self confidence and I always feel I'm not worthy enough for other people.
