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.
A little background. My wife did scratch herself before we got married. During the six years that we were married, she did do it. We separated about three months ago. She has started up again, only this time she is cutting herself. When ever I go pick up my son or we all meet for dinner, I can see her injuries. I have offered her my ear to listen if she wants to talk about it. Of course I know that she won't. There is nothing I can do is there? Any suggestions?

all u can do is be supportive and be there if she needs to talk.. it may take a while but she may open up... just let her know you are there and dont think shes crazy..good luck!

I don't think that she is crzy. I just think that she has a lot going on inside her. Thank you for your comments.

Yes, offer your support. Don't get mad at her for doing it because that will just make her feel worse. (Don't know if you would get mad, but just putting that out there because people have done that to me). Just let her know you care and that there are resources, whether it be you or someone/thing else, that can help her get through it

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
