Self-Injury Support Group
Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.
I have been self-injuring for about 2 years. I don't cut but I bruise, really bad. I've tried to break my bones often but I was never successful (as far as I know). I've sprained my ankles purposely and most commonly bang my forearm against hard surfaces, hard enough that it'll bring tears to my eyes.
I've been trying to stop, and I've went a while without doing it, but I am getting really depressed right now and the urge is killing me. My first question is should I check into a treatment facility? And my second is where can I find a good facility in the Ohio River Valley area?
Thank you.

But anyway, bruising is just as bad as cutting, just as dangerous. You could easily bruise a bone or break a bone for that matter. I have a permanently bruised knee cuz of my bruising.
If you fell like its getting to the point where you need to be in a treatment facility, then do it. It's your best bet. Idk any good treatment places out there. Just skim the internet and Im sure you'll find a good one, or call your local hospital!!
Goodluck to you!
