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.
Is this group active at all? Because i am really struggling.
i will be 48 in july and i have not self harmed this much since my early twenties.
i know how addictive it is and getting that endorphin hit you crave again and again...
i have started to use diffferent methods to harm myself, won't get into specifics.
i am totally out of control and i have tried to reach out for help but-
i had the opportunity to go inpatient for a little while, but i also am in the quicksand of an eating disorder and it was too threatened-my eating would be totally policed in hospital, i would have to surrender my control on a general pysch unit.
(My pdoc is fighting for me to get funding to go into residential eating disorder treatment.)
i have had a few recent stressors which led to my s/h relapse, but now, now i can't seem to stop.
And i am afraid to call a crisis line and be honest because i am so scared they will send the cops to my door.
Is anybody here?
i'm alone in this.
I have some understanding of what you are going through. This is a difficult group for people to come to, to be in and to share in. Message me if you want someone to talk with.
