Yeah, you are so right. I honestly don't remember my childhood. I haven't a single memory until I was 12 I and I started suffering. However my mother was an alcoholic (when I was tiny) and in later years. But a lot else happened: My sister had to have brain surgery that my mother blamed on me, and that is where the problems started for me. I can't ever deal with that fact, but hey life must go on. Sis is fine now, but I'm left with the aftermath. My dad and my sis are forever with me and I love them for it but they cannot understand what I do with the self harming. I try to expain but I can't!

Oh my god, how many councillors, thereeists! It doesn't work! All they do is drug you into thinking everythings ok! To be honest I think I'm ok now/ I hope

I thought I'd never do i again, I thought I was cured! But this is something that stays with for you life. It is something we hsve to live with. If people around you do not understand then you hsve no support.And support is what you need right now! I understand you and so many others here do to, you are not alone. Don't ever feel that you are alone because you are not.

I am new to this forum , but I need help. I'm 24 and have been a self harmer since I was 12. A lot of crap happened in my past which has lead me here today. I have been a regular s/h for 12 years. Istill want to do it, but I want someone to tell me how to conceal it. I have so many scars, its imposible to conceal, and I have too, for the sake of my job. I've tried the gel sheets and gel but it hasn't helped, I'm left thinking that people know what I've done (coz its suppossed to be secret) and it makes me feel evn worse. I feel that I can never let anyone know what I've done because Im so ashamed. I understand that I have no friends I can truist, just my family, and what I do hurts them so much. So, please can you help me, I need to deal with this but I cant huirt my family further. Thanx

I'm new here, so I'll just be brief, I have been a self harmer since I was 12, I'm now 24 (imagine the scars!). Until recently, I would not of understood the possibitlity of being happy andi i still don't. But what you have to understand is that someone loves you, for who you are, not what you do, That is difficult no matter what relationship. Even if you are happy, you will always fell the same way. If you are a self harmer then you must admit it. But yes yes I still understand it as an issue. Please let him in if he's worth it. What you have to do now is love hi47m if you think he's worth itt. You have thre chance of being happy, take it, savour it, & live it! You're the only one who can do it for you!
