I know I write really long comments to a lot of the posts. I also come and go from this site. To be honest, I don’t truly understand SI. I just recently realized that I’m a self-injurer.
For ten years, my intention was usually never to just hurt myself. I was going for suicide, but my attempts just happened to fail. On occasional, I do feel like I am not even a self-injurer. I read some of the posts and I can only guess what the word “tools” refers to. I’ve never carried self-harming materials with me. But, I try to help with a few words of advice – whether or not, anyone actually does something with the comments I leave.
I just want to apologize for being harsh if I come off that way. I don’t want to come off as being better than anyone. I’m sorry.
I believe everyone has their own values and worth. I am the kind of person who learns from everything and everyone. The best way for me to realize things is if I can relate it to something else. I can gain insight from a hot dog or from a random movie. I don’t know if this really helps explain some of the comments I leave. I really hope you take into consideration to the things I say. Never give up. Good luck.

Hi
Do you know? I can learn a little from everything too. I think all things that exist in this world can show us something new, and everything can make us have new experiences. Even (like you said) a hotdog.
I guess every self-injurers have different reasons to SI. and even some have many things in common there are others, maybe a minor part, that are different and feel differently about what they do. When I started to SI i didn’t even understand that it was not healthy for me. I just did it and though “no one has nothing to do with that. it is weird but it has nothing wrong. the body is mine…”
I tried suicide for the first time when I was 7years old and I was not sucessful. after that I tried suicide many times but…well I am here so *sigh*
I even stoped SI for almost an year…There was another time I SI every day and more than one time a day.
Well I am going out of the way.
What I mean is that even if you are harsh and even if you spend a lot of time coming and going…you can count on me.
I usally say to my friends: do what you want, say what you want…when you want to come back I am here, so it will be all fine.”

We all make mistakes, lessthanzero. It’s okay. We’re human. That’s all. God, at the end of the day, loves you. We may not always understand our problem, but we must recognize that it is a problem we have to face. You can do that, I know you can. Have faith in yourself. It’s hard sometimes, but learn to love yourself. You’re an outstanding person at heart, I see that. You have every right and reason in the world to love yourself, and in my opinion, no right to not like who you are. Harshness is sometimes necessary, to represent tough love. It’s just what you’re doing. You’re being honest. And that’s always our best quality. Keep going. <3
