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.
Help me, help me. I've been doing quite well in other areas of my life but the self injury continues to haunt me. I've been involved in an IOP treatment program and it has helped me except for the SI. I still think I will need an inpatient experience to get a handle on this. I don't have the $ to do this. I would have to use all my savings. It's so embarassing and my arm looks so horrible. My body is what got me in trouble when I was a kid so my body is bad. The uncle that I loved more than anyone said the saints had to suffer to become saints. I guess maybe I internalized it and am doing just that. Is anyone out there?
Also I wanted to congratulate you on doing well in the other areas of your life.
Was your program like a group thing or one on one counseling? I've never done anything with a group but I have done individual therapy. Depending on the person it can help.
