I have self-injured since the end of October last year, and I finally think it is time to stop, and I really want to. Any idea’s how though…
when you want to injure, some people suggest trying to hold onto a piece of ice until it melts…it hurts a bit but won’t physically harm you. it worked pretty well for me! Not everyone agrees with this method though…
There are tons of ‘ideas’. Just have resources, have people you can go to. If you don’t already have a therapist, get one. By resources, I mean blogs like this one, contacts (people you can call if you need help) crisis center numbers, a therapist, and absolutely, a journal.
And then you have me, you have all of us. People you share a common ground with. We’ve all been there, we’ve all wanted better for ourselves, and we’ve all SI’ed. And we all know how it is. You’re not alone.

The problem is that my parents don’t know, and I don’t want them too. So all I technically have is my friends… but they are always getting mad at me.
It may be hard to tell your parents, but that’s the only way you can stop and the only way to acheieve some serious help in this. People will be frustrated with you, and it’s only because they love you and don’t want to see you hurt yourself. It’s all in good time. You should let your parents know, but when you’re ready. Don’t push yourself too hard…that’s what makes the SI worse. For now, use the online resources that are available to you. This blog, other blogs, and other websites are great sources.
okay… thanks.
