thinking of you and sending nice thoughts your way xx

does it need more than basic first aid?
Do you know what triggered it today?

MerlinsBeard · 07/05/2008 22:43

I need to go to bed, sorry.

Please go to A&E if you have cut yourself deeply or it doesn't seem to be closing up right. They will have resources in place for self harmers and will help you.

If its not that bad and you can deal with it at home...have you spoken to anyone about your reasons for SH? Do youknow what your reasons are?

Paperchain, i don't know your background and the reasons why you beat yourself up, i used to self harm too, you are not alone in the way you feel,thinking of you today.

MerlinsBeard · 08/05/2008 09:49

how are you feeling today?

paperchain · 08/05/2008 17:57

I am . I didnt even remember posting this. Sorry. The cuts are ok. I know how to deal with them.

I am feeling 100 times worse today though. Want to do some real damage

hello you. can you call someone now and talk it through?

paperchain · 08/05/2008 18:02

call the samaritans

no crisis team available? doctor? psychiatrist? cpn?

paperchain · 08/05/2008 18:06

thansk lulu, yes I know all that. Troubkle is, I dont want to speak to them really.

no crisis team or cpn - never been 'eligible'. Psychotherapist knows. Psychiatrist also. But no one knows what to do with me

Lulumama · 08/05/2008 18:07

you must want to not harm now, or you would not be posting... wish i could do more .

paperchain · 08/05/2008 18:10

umm not quite true Lulu - I can multi task. But tbh, the cutting I can deal with. My general state of mind is nmore of a worry.

Thanks for chatting. Appreciate it. I know this is only a chat room. I dont expect more than chat. So thank you for your concern. I will be fine PCx

hi paperchain i self harm and can relate to the damage thing. how are you?

Do you have any techniques or anything to distract?

Lulumama · 08/05/2008 20:02

how are you feeling now?

MerlinsBeard · 08/05/2008 21:40

self harmers get very able at dealing with their wounds, i know from experience! I have also been in that place where you are so low that even the cutting does help because it doesn't hurt enough. If you don't want to talk to someone, will emailing help? [email protected] i think
