I need some support.... badly... I've been cut free for a bit over 3 years but with my 8 month old son driving me up a wall in the past week or so (he's going through a stage... or three) I've wanted to cut every day and I need to talk to someone who's possibly 25 years or older so at any stage but able to give some support... because In the chat room I feel so old, they are full with youngsters! :)
talk away and we'll listen and support, my name's Hannah and I'm 28. Congratulations on being 3 and a bit years cut free, that is a major achievement and shows a lot of strength and character. I think children at sometime or another always drag their parents up a wall. I don't have children but I know there are people on here that do. We're all friendly and I hope you feel at home here :)

I don't have children of my own but lived through 4 1/2 years of having a step-child so I really do understand how they can make you feel, especially when they have a phase.
I totally understand how you feel, being a parent can be very overwhelming, especially with an 8 month old.
There is a thread in Vets thats about children. Lots of the lovely Vets have kids around the same age as yours. They talk about teething and other problems they are going through.
You should be very very proud of yourself that you have been over 3 years harm free.
Your welcome to PM me anytime, look forward to see more posts from you

Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to?
'Cause you have turned into my worst enemy,
You carry hate that I don't feel: It's over now WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

You might try chat after 8pm in your time zone. I'm 3 hours behind you, usually come into chat around 9-10pm your time. There are some other adults there too.

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
Hello, my names Ally and I'm 25. I've also been cutting for about three years.
Feel free to PM if you would like, I'm pretty easy to talk to (suppose it helps that I majored in psych while in Uni, lol). I will try to get back to you ASAP though sometimes it takes me a day or two, depending on how I am feeling (though with such thing as PMs I am pretty good as one of the things 'I do' -just how I explain it- is listen to folks and help them talk things through).
Enough rambling. I hope that things are a bit easier for you at the moment.
Please take care.
*hugs*

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

I'm 36, soon to be 37, so know what you mean about feeling old on here! I don't have any kids but I do have a 12 year old neice who I'm quite close to. But at least with that I can give her back! Have you got a sister/brother you can hand your baby over to for a little while? Even so you can just to go and make a snow man outside?
But congrats on being 3 years + free! I can\t make 3 months at the moment.
Take care
