I remember what it was like, what it was like to self-harm. I remember what it was like to feel all alone. I remember what it was like to hate myself. I remember how said it was.
I remember it but I won’t ever go back. You can stop self-harm. You can stop and move on. Believe you can. I believe you can.
Tell someone. You are not alone. Break the silence….it’s hard but you can do it. And, it can help to not do it alone!
OK so I its real tuff to tell ppl about ur si but it can actually help. I used to think no1 would get it…so I kept it a big secret..no one knew. I mean I wanted to tell ppl but was sooo scared. I eventually said “just do it!” And I did. You know what? It helped…and now I feel I have the support to beat this and stop si’ing so much.
i keep a little safety box in my room with a bunch of things I do can when I get an urge. Mine has pencils, crayons, paper, music, pens, a list of friends phone numbers, a stress ball, lotion, glue, glitter, and a ton of other crafts. Doing crafts really helps me a ton, so does drawing or writing. I think anyone could make their own box with their own stuff…you just have to find what works for you…but give it a try. It really helps me and gives me hope I will break this cycle.
I’ve been getting treatment for a while now and I can honestly say that although urges can come on pretty strong they dont last forever. eventually they pass. and when they do you realize you dont have to give in each time they come back.
Dear self-injury,
We were once so close but now we’re thru. It has taken so much courage to say this but:
It’s over between us.
This is our end…and my NEW beginning!
just wanted 2 say that i think u can beat this…i stopped about a year ago and remember thinking id never stop…thx 4 listening xo
I’ve been SI free for about 3 months. I’d be lying to you if it has been an easy road (and trust me there have been some setbacks!) but day by day I’m getting there… 🙂
So, my counsellor and I decided to write down the times I wanted to cut but didn’t. I couldn’t believe it. There were actually times when I felt urges but didn’t give in. Sometimes urges are so powerful but knowing that I don’t always give in gives me hope…I hope it does for you too! Good luck guys! I think we can do this!!!!
I’ve started to keep a journal to write down how I feel. It’s soooooo helpful to just get it out. Whenever I feel sad or when I think about burning agin, I just write and write…after a bit of time I don’t want to do it anymore…just thought Id share. xoxox
