    There's a whole big thread on self-harm on this forum page right now. It contains resources, advice, and personal opinions and experiences.

    Have a look through it and add to it if you like.

    Well what was the point in posting then? :eek2:

    You'll learn that self harm isn't 'fun' when you have big ugly scars all over your arms and cant wear short sleaved tops in case someone notices them. :rolleyes:
    My advice: STOP DOING IT, IT'S NOT BIG AND IT'S NOT CLEVER.

    hiya
    i understand what you are going through. you should go and see a doctor asap, BUT i know how hard that can be, so dont worry you arent alone. there must be something on your mind, subconciously, even if you dont realise it. Try something less harmful like punching a cushion or something, but dont worry.
    i hope this helps. try talking to some close mates, or your boyfriend.

    Seek help to stop as soon as possible. The longer you self-harm the harder it is to stop.

    i used to do that. at one time i used to stab my hand with a pencil to show ogg i guess - cant see any ral reason to it. nowadays i still bend my fingers back....

    people don't really like it though - i mean when i see other people doing it i think its so stupid and if i think that someone close to me would do it id be so upset...

    just food for thought there.....
