oh honey...these people have tried to ruin your lif, they're not your family. they're just abusers who happen to share some genetics with you. your family are the people who love and care for you. my friends are my family. the people who are there for you are your family. be strong for yourself and ...

your doctor might be able to give you real help stopping SI'ing, and help you feel allot better. it's always worth a try...terrifying though it is. I'm in england, here they won't tell your parents after 16. but I don't know about where you are. good luck.

writing a diary and showing it to your therapist could help? writing down what I'm thinking and feeling helps me.

Has anyone else had a bad reaction to medication? I was given anti-depressants by my doctor because my mood had started swirling down. my mood and my SI started to get far, far worse. so they gave me more meds. It got to the point that I tried to kill myself by overdosing on the meds, I survived. bu...

talking to your doctor can be a good starting point. meds can be useful, and so can therapists. other than that. I've never found a sure fire way of coping.

I generally just say "oh, it's nothing" hide my scars and quickly change the topic. but my scars couldn't be mistaken as anything else. 'I was in a car crash' works for strangers. for people who are close to you...the truth is probably a better option.

there are lots of different ideas about this. theres one theory that SI is addictive because your body releases a happy chemical when you get hurt, which is a form of natural opium, so it makes you want to SI more. or you could have just missed a trigger.

theres no such thing as untreatable. I've studied psychology and abnormal psychology for 5 years. there are always ways of being helped and getting help. keep safe, things will get better. you will get better. it'll just take time and strength. good luck.

it's bizar, but I buy nice skin stuff, or use it. like a nicly scented moisturiser, or have a bath with bath oils...stuff like that. but thats just me. makes me feel better about my skin, and it feels like I'm looking after myself.

I have no idea how to answer that question...sometimes I hate my scars, sometimes I like having them...when I'm feeling sane then I want rid of them. when my depression gets bad I like seeing them and feeling them. I wish my scars didn't hurt and itch so much.

they can do. it all depends on the therapist, and on the type of therapy, and on how you react to the therapy...its really just a matter of chance. my first therapist was wonderful and helped me allot. my second shrink...cognitive behavioural therapy didn't work for me, only having one fifteen minut...
