well this past sunday @ work i told one of my close friends about my "cutting"...she wanted to know why i would cut myself i started expalning and telling her why i would cut myself...i told her i don't even know why i cut myself anymore...that i am so confuse and i'm really scared because i'm doing it more deeper than i used too...when i notice that she started crying...i was so surprise...i asked her why she was crying and she didn't want to tell me...i kept insisting until she told me...the reason she started crying was because she feels that i don't think she cares for me when in reality she really cares for me...i don't know but probably it's only me but when your in this situation "SI" u just feel like your alone and no one cares for u when in reality there are people that really care for u...does anyone feel like me???

it inner feeling u are hurting inside and u bring it out on the outside thing to remind yourself of IF i feel like selfharming it s because there something wrong which deserves attention. It,s ok to be confused. It,s all right not to know why, I can take my time to gradually understand myself more.my feeling whatever they are, are real and important. we all care we look out of each other we will get throught . big hugs to all

Wow when I was reading ur mes I felt wow how lucky she is that someone cares that much.But in reality I have tones of people who care.Lik my boyfriend when I told him I cut myself He told me to so him so I did I was crying cuz I was scared he would leave me and call me crazy.But he picked up my arm and kissed my scars and told me he will always be there for me and that he love me.So I do have people who care.Thank you for leyying me relize that.

i feel like that all the time ... 24/7 makes a good fit ... but my sad truth is that it is true that no one cares (family, boyfriend don't give a fuck, no patience/ tolerance, not interested in my "crap" as they call it ... ) and friends ... well, now being in america ... my boyfriend & my son is all i got ...
which makes me just wanna get rid of myself ... scares the hell out of me ...

i think that feeling as though you're alone is part of the SI as it is a very personal thing. i often wonder what my friends and family would think if they found out and it scares me so i keep it all to myself - not healthy but my way of dealing with it. although i do think it's adviseable to have someone you trust to talk to, i've heard so many stories about how much people car when they find out, and i do advise telling someone even though i'm not sure if i ever could. i imagine it'd be easier to cope with and an extra support in order to get through the other side and beat it.

i didn't think anyone cared about me when i cut but i turned out to be wrong. when i saw what it was doing to my sister and how much it hurt her i started to think about her before i did anything stupid and so far that has helped.

yeah, it's hard telling ppl b/c u never kno how they'll react. that might be one of the reasons i don't tell anyone about my S/I, b/c i don't know how they'll react and b/c i don't want to hurt them or them to think differently/badly of me.

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
