hey Im new to this site but I have been injuring since high school – it got worse during college but I haven’t injured in a few months but the urge gets worse every day – im in my early twenties so I need to get out of this state of mind – Im worried I will always be this way – Im so alone in this
For the person that posted that their injuries wont heal I suggest triple antiobiotic ointment like neosporin
One thing you need to see…you’re not alone at all. We’re all here for you. We all care about you. Especially me. We all know what this is like, trust me. Sometimes, you feel like you can’t escape it. And the truth is, you can, but you just have to want to escape it. And it sounds to me like you want out of the chains that self injury has put you in. That’s what it is…you become a slave against yourself. And you have to break free. The first thing you have to do is want this for yourself, and admit that you have a problem, preferably to someone who can help you. And get a therapist. They help tremendously. You’re not alone. You never are. We’re here.
