I think sometimes it's hard for those who love us to deal with how sad we are sometimes. They want to fix it, but they can't. And I think that sometimes it makes some people feel inadequate when they can't fix it. Maybe you need to tell them WHAT you need. Tell them that you don't need them to fix i...

Welcome! I found this board when I was at my worst and I can honestly say that the friends I found on here really helped me with my SI. Read the posts and tips for coping. Also if you aren't in therapy, I would start. Most importantly, you need to try to find a new way to cope. And there are lots of...

I recently went through the same thing. It was about 5 months ago. I kept having really graphic images of cutting but it was more like suicide. A LOT of blood which is not normal for my SI. I was really freaked out because I never experienced anything like that before. And I thought it was especiall...

Wow sort of crazy how I just stumbled into this post... I've been having a pretty hard time with this lately. I haven't SIed very much in the past few years. Just a few minor incidents here and there. But the past few months I have been absolutely consumed with it. I'm proud to say I haven't done it...

Thanks for the response guys. Limestone you really gave me a lot to think about. Thanks. OK let's see... When you say you've slipped, how long has it been since you last si'ed? I last did it about 3 months ago. But I did it about 2 or 3 times in the few months before which is a lot for at this stage...

I'm warning you guys now...this may trigger so please be careful... Alright, so let me give you a little background...I started SI about 9 years ago when I was severely depressed. I have been fairly SI free (and depression free) for about 5 years (note the "fairly"). I've slipped a few times and whe...

Welcome to the board! I know for sure if you jsut ask, you will have many friends on this board. Like Plantt said all you need to do is post I'm Lonely or I need a friend. Ooh! Maybe we could come up with a codename like "New England Clam Chowder." (Sorry...a little Ace Ventura anyone?) Anyway, I'm ...

I didn't want it to win.

I don't. But if I do I will keep your name in mind. I just saw them the other day at Ozzfest. She absolutely blows my mind. And the new CD is brutal!

Sorry to be completely off subject but...Otep...NICE!

Wow I had no idea you guys were still responding to my post. Thanks for all of your encouragement. It's crazy...my stepmom ran into an old friend of mine from high school who just happens to be dating this guy who was pretty good friends with Sean. Apparently no one really knows why or what happened...

Some of you may have read my post last month about my friend's suicide. For those of you who didn't here is the abbreviated version: I saw my best friend from high school last month. I hadn't seen her in about 3 years. She told me that our friend had killed himself in October. She found out about a ...

Well I was sort of different. I cried a lot. All the time. But I got no release from it, like if I were to cry now. That's why I started SI because I felt nothing when I cried. Try yelling and screaming. I am a huge metal head and if I had these bands in my life earlier, it would have made a huge di...

I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any real way to make sense of this tragedy right now. But it's only been a few days. You don't need to. Right now it's important that you mourn the loss of your friend. You have every right to be upset and if someone else can't understan...

Obsessing over how much stuff you have to do won't help at all. I'm really good at whipping myself into a frenzy over how stressed I am. Then I realize I end up spending more time and energy stressing over what I have to do than it would actually take to just do what needs to be done! So don't just ...

It does provide some sort of physical relief. I think we can all agree with that. And I know it is related to a release of seratonin, etc. As far as being able to actually read it in the brain, I don't know. Perhaps we are "wired" a bit differently. I mean some people have an extremely high toleranc...
