Hiya :wavey: and welcome.
I'm sorry you're feeling really bad right now, but glad you've come here.

Any idea what it is that's making you want to cut? Sometimes it helps to talk about it, or write it down. If you browse around this forum (especially the "Sticky" topics at the top of the page) you'll find lots of things people have suggested that help them resist the urge to self-injure.

Yeah, SI means "self-injury" and there are a few other abbreviations like that that you'll get used to. Some of that stuff and other things you need to know are here.

If you like, you can go and post a "Hi, I'm new" sort of post on the main Bodies Under Siege forum - lots more folk read there and will want to say hello and offer you lots of Welcome Cows :moove:

Take care of yourself
Love Laura :java:

stripin_hate.........
as this is your first week SIing ever.................
PLEASE PLEASE turn around and RUN....don't come down this road. You WANNA scar up the entirity of your body? Do you want to be stuck in the mental ward? Do you want to be looked at as if you're crazy? Do you want to struggle through for years, if not for the rest of your life? Do you want to be suicidal more often then not?? because that's what this cycle will lead.......you CAN get out now...you can...

Hi, I'm a newbie too so welcome.

Whats making you feel like this?
And you can get out of this, the longer it goes on the worse it gets. I've only been SIing for 5 months and I have to cover my whole body.

I came here after a friend showed me the site... I'm a really recent SIer as well and I want to stop before it gets serious.
Through early morning fog I see.. visions of the things to be....


I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad - the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead
I open them and all is born again.

Find a doctor and have them refer you to a T. Get put on "happy pills" (anti-depressents).

I promise you--you do NOT want to be stuck with scars for the rest of your life. You do not want to end up wandering around, totally alone because you lost all your friends and no one trusts you because of what you're doing to yourself. You do not want to lie alone at night and hate yourself for what you are doing to the people around you.

Self-injury leads you to horrible situations.

I'm with purpleflame--TURN AROUND AND RUN.

You should get help now, when you haven't had the habit for years. It's eaiser to quit now. And abuse BUS. Use it for all its worth. POST POST POST. Distract yourself. Post how your day went.

Get the support you need.

I wish you the best.
trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters,
but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though
they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking
down the whole time while they walked to make sure
they were doing it right.

ditto to purpleflame and kurdt_kobain. it's a vicious cycle, horrible hole to fall into. you don't want to be here. stop yourself while you still can, before you get addicted and rely on it. because not all the scars fade, you're stuck remembering this forever.

try and find another outlet for your stress. excercise, writing, drawing, anything creative. take walks outside when you're feeling very low. listen to calming music, anything you can.

please try and stop before it takes over.
good luck, and hope you find what you need from bus.
love, tara.
i thought i was a fool for no one, but baby i'm a fool for you.

Ditto.

It's not worth all the misery of SI'ing all the time...

Talk to people, find some outlet for all this stress or whatever you're feeling that's making you do this. PLEASE don't get caught up in all of this; it's not worth it.

all i can say is please try to forget what happened...getting into this pattern will change your life immeasurably for the worst and it WILL be something that will be VERY difficult to get out of, its nothing you can just wake up one morning and say oh okay i think i'll stop this now/i don't need this anymore. if theres one piece of advice i can give to you its that...thinking of you...stay safe, please PM me if you need to talk
