I’ve been injuring for 3 years. My friends have known the whole time. All of them. They were doing it too. I always sat around helping them instead of helping myself. It’s easier that way, right? Dealing with other people’s issues is always easier. I was always taught to never show emotion. I can’t cry. My step father and mom never allowed that. Now, three years after I started, I’m realizing that every time I’ve reached out to my friends for help, they aren’t there. They say they “can’t handle it”. Neither can I… But I do it cause I care. I haven’t stopped SI. I wish I could sometimes, but its all I have to fall back on. I need it. I need to SI, or I need a friend. But no ones there. My therapist is never available, and my parents have given up on me…. I don’t know what to do anymore….
Meghan,
I know you don’t know me, but I’m a person is almost always on the internet when I have a spare moment. If you ever need to talk, send me a message. I don’t want you to have to go through this alone. I know I rely on my friends to listen to me when all I want to do is injure.
I’m here. I’m so glad you reached out to me, and I want you to know that you can always talk to me day or night. You need a friend? Well I’m here.(: I’d love to be that person you can always talk to.
Hope does exist,
Heather.
I’m here too. I know you don’t know me either, but i am here whenever you need help.

Honey bee I went through the exact same thing except one. I played I told myself I couldn’t stay clean and tried. Now it’s almost 8 months clean. Three years injuring. Two years through eating issues.
Therapist are stupid or the ones I’ve been to have. If you need someone I’m here and that I’m hoping will be my profession. I’m helpin my friend right now and she’s been clean, and we’ll be quitting together:)
you can do it. I did and I was an addict. I still hate showing my emotions and I was taught emotions show fear, I wanted to be fearless.
But if you need someone to talk to my email is arbolser1@hotmail.com
