I injure myself. It is a well kept secret. I am so afraid to tell any of my friends or family members. I am afraid to talk with teachers and my school counselor. I’m afraid I’m going to really hurt myself. I think I have. I am addicted to this. I feel like I need to whenever I become emotionally distressed or stressed about something. I don’t know who to talk to. I am afraid of my parents finding out I don’t want to hurt them because of this. Please. I need advice. I know it’s bad I know I need to stop but I can’t.
hey! Try to find an alternative. You can email me at

If you want to talk. I’ve been self injuring gor 2 years. I’ve started blogging here at the beginning of this year. Speaking your feelings really helps! I’ll be there to listen, but it will probably take a few hours for me to reply back.
I do have alternatives. I am an artist as well as musician. I have tried to stop self injuring by using rubberbands or hairties. And nothing is working. It’s a little scary how much the self injuring is controlling me now
yea, i tried those aswell and it didn’t work! I’m an artest aswell! What i sometimes do, when i have the urge to selfinjure, is to take a paper and a marker, and to make hard strokes over the paper. I know it sounds stupid but it worked sometimes. It doesn’t always, but sometimes it does. You can also draw a butterfly on where ever you usually self injure, and name it after people you love. That way, if you want to hurt yourself you can tell yourelf. ” if i self injure here, i will be killing the ones i love” everytime you want to hurt yourself, draw a butterfly where you want to do it.
I know it sounds silly and dumb, but it works sometimes!! Hope you’re okay!
reading that made me smile.
I know how you feel, I do the same things; it’s been a while since I haven’t done that but everytime I feel sad I get the urge to do it again. I’m also scared of my parents knowing because I know they’ll feel like it’s their fault… You know what? Everytime you feel like self-injurying, think about the people you love, think about yourself. Try to see the brightside of things, even if it’s difficult, there’s always one. If you need to talk text me. Be strong, you can do this.
