thanks - dont know how to differentiate tho - its something that builds up and happens before I know it. I do it at home and no one knows so it doesnt hurt anyone. If I admit it then people will just worry etc.. i did 4 cuts tonight and now I feel fine. no one will know. I dont mean to cut and I dont chose to but it just takes over and I have to do it

thank you for the response, I know you are right, but I dont talk to my family much, I dont have that many close friends - and definitely none I could talk to about this.. the one I did talk to went mad!! My mum works at the local doctors so I cant go there.. Its not that bad yet, I can normally pass the marks off as getting caught in holly bushes or my cats etc... I know its not right but things build up so much it really helps and then im fine again. I definitely should stop I think but its not as bad as many I have read about. Ive been trying not to go out recently so I dont have loads of alcohol but now people are moaning at me for being unsociable - cant win!!!

Hi all I came accross the site looking for some peace of mind I suppose. I cut my arms - mainly when the stress or worry builds up inside so much that I need some kind of release. I told a friend of mine and she completely freaked out. I dont see it as that much of a problem as it stops me doing anything worse. also I drink to excess when I start drinking and my friend said that was part of it too. I dont see anything too bad in it because once its done im fine. what are your thoughts on this and am I just denying the real problems?? thanks. Em
