My Self Harm Story - WARNING images of self harm

This is just a brief explanation of the years I have spent struggling with depression and self injury. I didn't go into too much detail. Please don't think I put this up for attention. These pictures are all from a while ago. I just put my story out here so people could see that Self injury can ruin your life and make you lose everything you hold dear. It's not worth getting into.

I don't know if I want to start. I don't know if it will help me at all cope with stuff or if it will just be a temporary thing like other stuff I have tryed before. I don't even know if I am depressed or anything. My mother asked me to tell her whats wrong or if I have problems but it is hard to answer because I don't know if I have any problems. At the moment i am just scratching at my skin but this is nearly having no effect and I am tempted to move onto scissors for cutting. Can u advice me?

@MemoriesofIreland190 Please don't start cutting. Did you see my video? You don't want to end up like that!! It consumes your life. What ever problems you have, you will only make them twice as bad if you introduce Self Harm into your life. It brings its own problems and you don't need it. I implore you to talk to a professional or even to your mum about what you're feeling because SH is the last thing you want to get involved with. Please reply and let me know how you're doing x

I'm currently struggling with self harming. I used to self harm months ago, but stopped. My mom saw the scars months back, and told me I was an idiot looking for attention. I am back to self harming again, and cannot seek help this time, because my parents will get mad at me again. I want to go to a counsellor, but they said no because I wouldn't say why.

I don't know what to do, I think i'm addicted. It's the only thing that makes me feel better.

@blondeybaby23 and upset with self harm. I would seriously suggest you call your gp, make an appointment (you don't have to tell your parents) and go and speak to him/her about what is going on. They can prescribe you medication if necessary and they will refer you to get the appropriate therapy. You don't have to tell your parents but if they find out that you are getting help surely that would make them more happy than if you were just cutting yourself. I am always here to talk to. <3 x

I started cutting when I was 12 also. Now I'm 14 and I've been to the hospital twice. My first cut was in the 4th grade and I regreted it. No one knows besides my friend Kennedy, who killed herself last week on Monday at around 3:30 pm. She was the one person that meant anything to me. Sorry for being a downer and stuff but I just really wanted to get this out there.

@emma98122 Exact same for me. I tried suicide a week ago. It wasn't easy but I almost succeeded. I was clinically dead for 2 hours and I woke up in the hospital. It was the scariest thing ever. But I still cut for some reason and I cant stop either. Please be strong. Dont make that decision. Its the one choice you can never go back on:( Please we love you:)

[emma98122]

the last month or so i been cutting the first cutt i thought was no big deal. but then i kept on ctting. i couldnt stop. i cant stop. they get deeper. in a week i cutt 12times. im so sad i cant live like this much longer. should i end it all? i just want some help but i dont want anyone to know.

@myscalytail I really think you should let your GP know, or a teacher at school. Self Harm won't get better on its own.
