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 find it crazy ppl have marked posts that encourage SH with razors or that ask what tool you use as moving and insprational - this is meant to be a support site for those who want support to stop SI, not a encourage harm site.
I find these posts harmful and not helpful, I know we all struggle to curb the impulsiveness and urges to cut but I haven't SH'd for nearly a year and while I struggle I find it disappointing coming here to be supported and support others only to find it filled with encouragemnet posts about how to SI or 'I did it' topics.
Come on 'guys' aren't we worth more than draging ourselves down to such a level, it's time to help not hinder each other.

bigpuppy I think you missed my point, I'm not having a 'go' at anyone posting help posts but at those posts that encourage talk about what tools you use to cut with - this is like anarexics sharing slimming 'secerts/ideas', NOT helpful on a SUPPORT site and posting messages like 'I just cut' - ok what can we do about that, how can we help assist that person to move on and grow or learn, but I'm talking here about ppl who don't want to learn or grow they're just declearing their lastest self harm - again not helpful. Sometimes we slip up I understand that, but learn from it don't just encourage more SH or sit in the injury - that's all I'm talking about.

if u feel they r being a danger just report them for abuse. click abuse button give the name and reason y then send ur name is automitacly put in the top. really its very simple.

I agree with what your saying, but then mabe sometimes those posts hav been genuinly helpful to someone. I think that maybe people should put in the title if they feel it could be potentially triggering and then people can avoid thoose posts if they are feeling low x

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...
