I am an alumni of SAFE but i am having a hard time these days. I’ve pulled out my books and logs but it doesn’t keep me from self injuring. I have lost that feeling of I can do anything that I found while at SAFE. I guess it doesn’t help that my partner and I are splitting up. I just wanted to come here and find some people who understand what it is like to “need” to self injure. My partner doesn’t understand and there are no groups around here for support, it is just me and my therapist. anyway, i will post more later.
I too am a SAFE alum. I know how it is when your prtner does not understand. My spouse thinks I need to just “ride it out”. I’ve been finding it hard to stay safe but I am pushing myself. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please feel free to email me.
Hey. I just registered. This is my first, well, anything on this site… or any site for that matter. anyway, i know how you feel. self injuring truely does feel.. addicting. To be completely honest, which I’ve vowed (to myself) to do, I injured today… that’s when I decided to research… anyway, I know what its like to feel alone… and to not have ppl understand. i cant talk to ppl i know because they love me too much… you know? they just freak.. which makes me feel even worse… thats how my partner is.. god love him. there are no groups around here either, i work at home, my friends are still off in college, i have no real friends anymore and no way to make any – lol and no money for a therapist… so i know the lonely feeling. but, i sincerely hope that you stay strong and don’t harm yourself.. physically or mentally. we’re all better…. we must be…
dont have anyone to talk to… so i would be more than happy to talk if you’d like… i may not be the best at helping myself, but ive always had a knack for helping others… feel free to email if you need to talk……
