- Was anyone taught that sex is bad, that your body was nasty, dirty? How about anyone raised Catholic? Those messages have caused painful in my life. I believe that my SI has something to do with all this. Does anyone ever feel that he/she was...
- I haven't done it yet tonight but I sure want to. Whenever it scabs over that's when I want to do it the most. Is anyone out there into the scabbing and then scraping SI? It's so disgusting and I need to remember that the SI is disgusting and...
- What is it that makes me want to SI? I don't know if I'll ever know. What's important is that I keep trying to stop because it isn't a healthy way of coping. Could it be that the reason It's so important to me to know WHAT makes me want to SI is...
- SI seems to really help me EXCEPT that I feel ashamed that I don't control myself and that I feel guilty about harming my body. I'm starting with a new therapist this week. I'm thinking I might be making a mistake because she will probably be...
- That's what I do when I get home and am alone. Of course I won't do it in front of anyone. I don't stop and think before I do it.My arm is so sore and it really hurts. It's also very ugly.You would think I would stop.I must remember that this is...
- and maybe knowing why will help me to stop or at least make some progress.My mother, when I was small and couldn't defend myself, said things like: you shouldn't hate, it's a sin (that's when my older sibs.. teased me incessantly, Sex is bad, wrong,...
- I have so many people who love and care about me and why won't I love myself as well??? Eating, biting my nails, self injury. Either one for me is "self injury". What is it about SI that is so satisfying? (at least for a very short time as a...
- trying. I keep trying but I suppose I don't want to stop, but then again maybe I do because why would I even take the time to visit this site about everyday. When will I stop or even NEED to SI? My whole life has been exceedingly hard. Why do I...
- Nothing has ever been harder for me to overcome in my life than these Self Injurious behaviors. I'm feeling hopeless tonight that I will ever stop. Please help me!!
- Just starting to heal and what do I do? This is so awful. I have 2 very large wound areas about 8-10 inches so you can imagine the kind of scar I will have if I ever am able to stop. It is so ugly. When I was a little gitl my mother would tell...
- Help me, help me. I've been doing quite well in other areas of my life but the self injury continues to haunt me. I've been involved in an IOP treatment program and it has helped me except for the SI. I still think I will need an inpatient...
- Right now I'm feeling so hopeless. I've had a positive day up until now. I got home from having a good group experience and when I get home it's back to not wanting to refrain from mood dependent behaviors. I don't understand it. How about...
- I can't stand it anymore. I SI because very deep down I believe I'm bad rooted in childhood. "That I AM bad". I know now that it isn't true but the feeling is so ingrained that I still do the behaviors. I made a short goal yesterday and I met it...
- I've struggled with SI since I was just a toddler biting my nails. My mother told me there were worms under my nails. I'm 69 and still I'm doing SI. Maybe I'm just too weak or don't want to try. Has anyone had this issue since you were very...
- Hi, I should have gone on line before I SI or tried an alternative behavior first. I think I SI because I have a need to feel bad about myself. I was taught that forever from my mother and I still haven't realized that I don't need to feel bad...
