I've told a few boyfriends, so I know how you feel. It's always a question every time I enter a new relationship (and I've been self-harming for like 5 years. Don't want anyone to think that I've had a ton of failed relationships because of it). My suggestion is to tell him when both of you are in a...

I have the same problem. I've been known to hurt myself over things like mistakes that were printed in my writing. I actually had a press release printed and then learned that I left out one of the man's kids. What really helps me, at least when I think about it in terms of writing, is seeing that e...

Today, I was running my usual 2 miles around the campus of my university, when I saw my former literature professor going to her car (I usually run late in the afternoon when people are getting off work). She's had leg problems and has a walker now, so I helped her pick up all the folders she droppe...

That's really awesome that your mom is so supportive like that. I'm sure it'll be really helpful in your fight to quit, too *hugs*. All parents of SIers should be supportive and caring like that.

I guess I had more of a problem with SI in high school, because I had to hide it. I was in marching band, and it's not a sport, but we girls often had to change in front of each other, and I always tried to make sure no one saw the scars. Now I'm in college, and all my scars are near my feet, so I j...

Random acts of kindness are awesome :D. There's nothing better than doing something for others, because it helps them and makes me feel better in the process. Friday, my friend's picture was in the paper for a play he's in, and I went out and bought a copy of the paper to give to him, since he doesn...
