I have a friend who could use some support, and I think it would be best from people who have been there/are in the same emotional place as her.

I will send her the link to this thread now, and hopefully she will come by later.

It will be hard for her to talk, but I am hoping you will all snuggle her in your norks

oh dear i dont think that website is going to be very helpful to me.theres lots of 'ideas' on there can we get rid of the link so i dont look at it again please?

pooter · 15/05/2008 12:18

Hi NS, i feel totally embarrassed to admit it, but i self harm too. Have done on and off for years (currently 'on' after a couple of self harm free years). im always very scared of whaat people might think if they find out (aagghh hope my new MN friends dont think im crazy).

Have you been to the doctors about it? There are medications that could help - and yuou could be referred for counselling - im on the waiting list....

needsupport · 15/05/2008 12:20

im already in couselling but havent admitted this bit yet.i probably should but its just another thing to deal with?

pooter · 15/05/2008 12:20

Is there anyone who can be with you - i cant do it in front of anyone, so perhaps just having someone around could help you?

pooter · 15/05/2008 12:21

the thing is that even if someone was with me i would just do it when i was alone again.what i need are ways to channel my thoughts to try,and it is only try,to stop me doing it?ive done it for the last year
