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 can't get rid of the memories. They live within me all the time. I try to distract myself from focusing on them but when night time come bam!!! It starts. I start remember everything. My body remembers the pain of the sexual, physical and emotional abuse, the rapes, etc. I just want to die. I can't deal with this anymore. Please make it disappear...I want to crawl up in a corner and make it just all disappear...
However sad and weak you may feel, just remember that you are a survivor, and you are no longer in the abuse that you were. You are safe now. Try writing down these memories that haunt you at night. If that doesn't work, try just going to bed and sleep and see how you feel in the morning.
If you have nightmares, try to soothe your anxiety by deeply breathing and reminding yourself that you are not there any more. You are safe.
((Hugs)) I am here if you want to talk. You are not alone.
