Before you read my post, understand this: I am not posting this to hurt you. I'm trying to help. If you want to e-mail me, my e-mail address is jimmyp5352@charter.net.
First off, I, myself, do not have to deal with cutting, anorexia, burning, etc. However, I am not blind to the pains of people who do. I have friends who suffer constantly. I understand that SI is a way of dealing with emotional stress in your life. I believe that there are better ways to deal with the stress or pain. For instance, cutting may temporaraly relieve the pressure, but ridding your life of the original pain/stress solves the problem for good. I realize that many Siers are/were abused. If this is the case, you are not at fault. It is not your fault you are abused, but you need to stop cutting and take care of the problem at hand. Get help from someone you trust (police if it's serious). If you rid your life of the problems, the urges to SI will disappear.
