- Finally went to see my GP today and told him my symptoms and explained I think it may be IBS. Had always been too embarrassed in the past.Had a quick rectal exam (which I was expecting but it was still mortifying!), advice to eat more fibre, a...
- What were your first symptoms? At what point did you go to the doctors? What happened from there?Hope you don't mind me asking, I'm just looking for answers about why I am exhausted all the time and after looking into reasons behind fatigue this was...
- It's something I've struggled with for a long time, though have always been reluctant to admit it. I've had professional help in the past about depression and phychosis but the anxiety I've always felt most embarrassed about so never sough help with...
- Do you plan on telling your children about your self harm?How will you explain it to them so it's age appropriate?Will you allow them to see your scars or will you cover up?As my daughter gets older I wonder about these things. She's only 4 months...
- I just took a pregnancy test on the 1st of Feb and it came back positive.I told my boyfriend and mum the same day and both said they would be supportive.So now... I guess it would just be nice to meet others in a similar situation and make some...
- I've self harmed for 7 years now. Never tried to stop, never wanted to stop, but never had a reason to stop.Until now. I recently found out I'm pregnant.So I guess I have to stop now.And that's such a scary thought. I've never been without it since...
- I began cutting myself when I was 11 (I'm now 18).I know it's bad for me. But I don't want to stop.I know people usually reply to these questions with "Go get professional help" - I have done. Since I was 11 I've seen 6 therapists, 9 psychiatrists...
- I'll give some basic background info to begin with :)I met a girl online when I was 11/12ish. I knew I loved her straight away. She was just under 4 years older and lived over 2 hours drive away. We found out we went on holiday to the same place so...
- I'm curious as it seems most people end up stopping sooner or later.And I guessed I would too... But I haven't. And as it's growing ever closer to my 18th (in October) it's daunting to think I'll be an self harming adult. Especially when I started...
- I was curious about others journeys through self harm.Ages along the way, method, where, why, recovery, relapse, help and support. Diagnosis and medication. All of it. The whole journey. Your journey.And on a side note - Do self harmers eventually...
- Just a few questions to put out there-1. Who knows you self harm and how did they find out?2. Have you ever shown them your cuts/scars?3. If you're in a relationship - do you hide your self harm/scars from your other half?It's something that's been...
- I'm trying so hard to get better. I see a psychiatrist monthly. a therapist and counsellor weekly. I'm also on risperidone (risperdal).But nothing is helping. I feel so low. And i don't feel i'm getting enough support for how bad i'm feeling right...
- My story -I've had some problems growing up, as a result i started hurting myself on purpose when i was 8. Silly small things, putting marbles in my socks while i was wearing them, keeping my hands in the bath when only the hot water was running, to...
- How do you even get to the point of wanting to stop?I know what to do when i want to stop. That's the easy part (to me).I can't seem to allow me to think 'shit, i need and want to stop doing this to myself'- I started hurting myself on purpose from...
- A few people say they think it's best i go in-patient. I'm not doing so well. But i guess i'm scared. So, maybe you're answers will help me make a decision.1. What was the daily routine?2. How often did you see professionals, and how long were the...
