Hello all I am 24 yo female who SI. I need to stop but I am afraid to bring it up to anyone because I am afraid that they are going to think that i will want to kill myself and thats not the case. I just need to cut when i am flipping out. I dont want to tell my family yet until I have stopped cutting but I don;t know where to go. I have scars all over my body and I am sick of hiding. PLease any suggestions or comments please respond, I have tried to stop in the past but no luck. I have been si for 6 years since I was raped. Please help.

Welcome to Bus. You are not alone. You may want to post on the main page, you'll get more responses there.
It's hard to cut when you're holding a cat.

Welcome :)

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. Nobody will think bad of you, they'll want to help you. I know how nerve-racking it is to talk to people about that sort of thing, so take your time, but don't worry about what people will think. Nobody will think badly of you. If somebody does, they are not worth knowing. And you don't have to tell everyone. Maybe just tell your closest friends/relatives?

Good luck :)

:wavey: :wavey: welcome to BUS!! :wavey: :wavey:
sorry that you had to go through that. try posting on the "bodies under seige" forum, that's the main page, where most people post.
maybe this is a good first step forward to telling people or getting a therapist or somethin in real life. good luck with everything, i look out for your posts.

Hi! Here's a welcome cow! :moove: There's a post somewhere explaining where the cows started, but it's a welcoming thing for new people!!! :)

I'm sorry about your rape, and your si - this is a wonderful place to sound off, and get advice without being judged!!

I hide my SI too, and I feel trapped in that now! When you were raped, did you talk to anyone about it? Would you be able to tell them about your SI?

I can't offer any other advice really, but I can send you a hug if that's okay! :1hug3:
