Hi all! This is my first time talking about my SI publicly. Im hoping it will help. It seems ive been hiding it for so long it almost feels like im doing something wrong. Crazy i know. It seems alot on here are teens, which makes me feel old. Im almost 30. I guess i never really talk about it cause no one understands it unless they SI. I went a whole year without SI and relapsed and only have done it a few times since but man its still an everyday battle! Its crazy to me how many i see on here are kids and got in trouble when they got caught. Parents are so uneducated about these things. Its great to have these types of websites to talk about this. Talking about it is what help! 🙂

Well, I’m only 19 but I get what you mean… it’s nice to have somewhere where people understand what you’re talking about. When I was 13 I started injuring and my mom wasn’t mad when she found out but she got mad when she saw every one after that. I know she trys to understand but I really wish she wouldn’t get mad at me. I haven’t injured for a month but I did spend 7 years of horror and trying to hide every new injury from mom mom but she always found out some way or another. Well, if you ever need to talk email me at emo_chick44608@yahoo.com. 😀

Yea i try to talk to my husband about it and he doesnt want to even hear it. I know its cause he hates that i do it but its also cause he doesnt get it. I finally told my mom a few years ago and all she did was cry. I started when i was 22. Things were just really crazy at that point in my life but im glad i havent done it in awhile. Yea i just think they get mad because they dont understand and they think we should be able to just NOT do it. We all wish it was that easy. Thanks for the comment!
I think the thing that others need to understand is that we need support and love, not judgement and anger.
It’s not an easy road, but we can do it. We’ve got the help of each other!
