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.
Work today was horrible and I feel like cutting, or self harming in some way. I can't because in two weeks I go on holidays to family and I don't want to have any new wounds. I hate days like today because everything is out of control and there isn't anything that can be done. So now I am eating whatever I can find(not that it's much) but what can be done. But how do I stop from wanting to self harm? Thanks for listening.
