Trying to stop myself.

[CM324]

Hi, I just wanted to say how glad I am to have found this site. I stopped self harming about 3 years ago when I started to find other ways to cope with my anxiety disorder and stress. Unfortunately, since Christmas, I've struggled to cope and I continue to struggle. I have self harmed (quite badly) for the first time in a long time - it felt more like a punishment but I'm not sure what for - it just felt.....needed.

I'm trying to stay strong but it's difficult when you can't speak to your family and friends. I've made an appointment with my doctor - hopefully when I get there I will actually be able to tell him in order to get myself some help. Just being able to write about this freely is making me feel less alone.

Hi Caz,
First of all, well done on making it 3 years free, that's a great accomplishment! Sounds like things have been quite difficult for you lately, it's great to see that you're getting yourself some help and support by seeing your doctor, and by finding places like this. Hope you're feeling better soon.
