Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say hi. I've joined because I'm looking for support, I've been self harming for just over a year now and I really want to stop. I hate the scars and always having to wear long sleeves and all the trips to A&E. It started when I was in a childrens home and since I left I havent been able to stop, I'm doing it more and more and doing more and more damage. I have been put in a psychiatric hospital 5 times and sectioned 4 times because of it and I dont want to be this way anymore, I want to start having a life. Hope to chat to someone, love freedomwarrior x

Hi and welcome to DS.....I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now.....I know how that is, but know that you have taken the first and most difficult step, admitting that it's a problem and wanting it to stop......you have to find the right thing for you to replace this coping mechanism, hopefully something with a positive result.....but trust me I know how hard that is......I'm here if you need to talk

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
