Sorry to hear about your situation. As lea pointed out you might want to take a look at that thread. We also have a number of articles about self harm, including links to groups that might be able to help. Take a look at these -

I'll move this thread to the health board for you.

Hi I used to self harm and suffered from Obsessive Compulsive disorder too. An absolutely awful time and i thought i would never get better.. :crying:
I found a wonderful website with a discussion forum, which covers everything from OCD, Tricotillmania (sorry about the spelling) and anxiety etc etc. I am not sure if i'm allowed to post a link or not
If someone could let me know

Should be ok, long's it's a support site, which it sounds like it is. Why not put it in the thread Lea pointed to as well?

The sticky that discusses self-harm is the best place to post about that problem, as most people on here who SH regularly check that thread. I used to SH very badly, but I've "recovered" and I check that thread very often.
