I’m aya and I’ve been cutting burning and sexually hurting my self for 20 years and I want to stop but I can’t

I think I am addicted to my pain and it’s a lot I am an invest survivor who has been raped so many times I stoped counting

I have so much pain and last week my therapist abandoned me after she realized I have multiple personalities and I was diagnosed with colon cancer

I am so sorry. I have a very good friend that is a multiple and struggles with a hard history. I myself struggle with depression. I understand the need to let the emotion out.
Lost both of my parents to cancer and so that is another tough issue. Here for support. If you need
someone to listen please feel free to message me. Gentle hugs

I also have lupus and fibromyalgia so I wish there was a group for pain and pain management

Thank you for the hug. I also sent you a new message. Stay strong. I do think there are some pain groups here. I know for sure there are some cancer groups.

Wow that is really horrible about you therapist! Hope you find someone else to confide in. I've been a self harmer since I was in middle school. I find it really hard to stop, always trying to please people when they ask me to stop but it is an addiction, like self medicating to me.
