What is your secret? I have so much unnecessary hurt that I don't know what to do with. Why is it a secret? I bring all of it upon myself. If I had a better mindset my life would be normal. What are your feelings about this secret? Hopeless, disgusted, sad. Why are you telling this secret now? It's ...

My roommates saw my scars and are now staring at my arms every second. School is so stressful. I want to SI really really badly. But if I SI, I'll start binge drinking. If I start binge drinking I'll lose sight of school and fail. Arrrgh. I desperately need some; newly away from home, at a huge stre...

I tend to be a fairly anxious person at times, and flying on airplanes freaks me out to no end. I have no idea why, becuase most of the time I have a death wish - but as soon as I set foot on a plane my flight usually ends in tears and a neverending panic attack. I fly so infrequently that I've been...

I'm really glad you posted this. I didn't think it would but I tried it today and it works really well.

Thanks!

So maybe this is a stupid idea but lately one of my new coping skills has been cooking-well, trying to atleast . I thought it might be a cool idea if people posted their favorite recipes.

I wish I had something real to complain about. I wish I could be good at something, even if it got me nowhere. I wish my parents hated me so I could hate them back. I wish I was dead but I'm just as afraid of dying. I wish I never started cutting. I wish I was pretty. I wish I wasn't fat. I wish I d...

Wow, that would drive me absolutely batty. You're a much stronger person than I.

Hmm some books I've enjoyed

Sabriel by Garth Nix (great fantasy to get lost in, a good trilogy)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Angela's Ashes (extremely depressing but a good read)
Harry Potter, one of my all time favorite series to get absolutely lost in (sorry, couldn't leave it out )

Thank you so much for posting both of these links

Yes, your comments did help a lot. You always have very helpful and constructive things to say. Thanks

Have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. --Yes. What had happened just before? --For the second time today someone told me that I have almost no friends and then proceeded to give me the same bullshit line about, Oh, but the one friend that you do have really ...

I just thought I would share becuase I haven't felt this way in a long time. I'll try to keep it short :) Today, after mowing the lawn I was hot, exhausted, and planning on going inside and cutting. Then it started raining--pouring. I went to the front yard and took off my sweatshirt (covering the s...

I too can totally relate. Lately I've been on a Disney movie binge, so far I've covrered Aladin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.

Name: Silme Are you currently trying to stop or reduce SI: Not really. If so what is your motivation: // Favorite coping skills: Going out of the houes. Coping skills that work the least: Trying to distract myself. Usually just makes me want it more. Safe places you can go: Anywhere that I don't hav...

I started cutting just over a year ago. When I was younger I used to hit and punch myself when I was upset, it didn't strike me until after I started seriously SIing that it was early signs of self abuse. When I was 14 I read something about cutting and it absolutely horrified and frightened me. Aft...

I hate mine because they remind me that no one knows and someone I love could still find out. They remind me that maybe I can't hide forever.

So I know this question has probably been asked millions of times but I'm sort of new to the board and just looking for any input. I have a wedding to go to soon and I'm wearing a dress that shows my arms. Does anyone have any good hiding techniques for scabs and scars? I have a lot of scars on my a...
