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'm trying so hard to stop myself from cutting, thing is there's not much else I can do. Ice cubes / elastic bands don't work for me 'cause it's not just the pain I need; I also feel that I deserve to be marked, so I don't see an alternative to cutting to get this.
Got no-one to talk to either 'cause obviously if I tell someone who cares about me that I'm wanting to cut that's an upsetting thing to hear and I don't want to hurt anyone but myself, but I'm so in need of someone to hear me out.
what can I do?

I'm rubbish at advice so dont really know what to say, people always tell me to do the ice or the elastic band thing and I can never explain that its not the right kind of pain, I thought I was the only one who thought that. If you wanna chat just message me I'll most likely be up all night anyway. Thinking of u, I really know how u feel hun. Try and stay strong x

I really think you should find a friend you can confide in. You can talk to me if you want. Stuff that works for me is writing about how I feel and getting something to keep my hands busy and settling down with it.

i know how u feel i didnt want 2 tell a friend either cuz i didnt want to hurt them but it does help a ton to have someone to talk to even if its not a friend in real life but an online friend cuz then u kno ur not alone and with stopping cutting you have to want to stop to be able to since u want the pain and the marks u dont really want to stop but if u want someone whose int he same boat to talk to im here *hugs* xxx

I have the same problem. Can't talk to friends about it because they would just try to convince me to stop. It's pretty much pointless... No one knows I started again. You can talk to me about it, since I'm looking for someone to talk to as well. [:

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...
