In need of some help
 

I've been self-injuring for 9 years now. I've been going through a very hard time recently and I haven't been able to resist the urge to self-harm. This may sound sad, but I can't talk to my best friend about it because 1.) she won't understand and 2.) She'll run off and call my mother (which she has done several times in the past, so I can't really trust her). Honestly, I feel as though I have no one to talk to:-( I was wondering if anyone had AIM or MSN or Yahoo and if they wouldn't mind talking? If anyone would like to talk, please PM me. I guess I just need to talk to someone who understands self-harming and someone who really isn't judgmental:-(

Hi, did you find somebody to talk to? sometimes writing it all down in a post helps as well :) take care

Hope you found someone to talk to and are feeling a bit better today. x

hi there, how are things going today? Feel free to talk on here, as much as you need. I understand that it's hard to talk to people in real life and tell them what you're struggling with.

Remember that you can always contact the supporters: support@recoveryourlife.com or live help if it's online. We are all here for you. Take care.

just wondering how you are today..??

I've been "ok" today. After I got off of work, I just went to sleep (and I get off at 5PM). Seems like all I want to do are sleep and...well...the other thing.

I feel like such an arse for this thread:-(

Perhaps you would find the distration section on this website helpful. Its located at the top of the forum there is the ryl arcade with games and a big distraction list which lincludes things such as drawing or holding ice.
Also have youthought about speaking to your doctor about how you are feeling? it may help an you maybe able to get some more support to ge tyou through this.

Hope you found someone to talk to and have tried the distractions on ryl. Is there anything in america like our helpline the samaritans? I phoned them for the 1st time last night, spoke to someone for 40mins and it really helped to have someone to listen to me saying my true feelings and not judge me. I'd say add me on msn, but I don't think we'd ever be awake at the same time! *huggles*

I'm not quite sure if there's a helpline over here or not.

I've been doing a little better recently...I've just been working, so it's been taking my mind off of things.

Where are you from?
