    • Close Self-Injury

      Started cutting/burning myself when I was 17, started bruising myself since before I can remember. Stopped for about 3 years but recently started again. I'm now seeing a psychologist so fingers crossed I will stop forever. I havent cut since Janurary!!

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Was forced into seeing a therapist when I was a teenager - I rebelled - wasnt ready
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Helped alot. I now have much better coping mechanisms and so far so good!
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was abused by my uncle since before I can remember until I was about 12. Since my teens I have been cutting, getting very drunk sleeping around and basically blotting everything out. I want to live my life, not just survive it.

      Treatments

      \"The Courage To Heal\" Somewhat Helpful
