Thanks for telling the truth, not tring to down play or glorify the truth. I have been Self injuring myself sence the 7th grade and now I am a junior in High school. I hadent cut for 11 months december 3, but recently I started again, i was devistated fter i realized i had instead of stoped found another form of the same thing. I started out pulling out my hair then discovered cutting with both a razor and knife, then burning then taking pills to the point i would overdose I never at any point wanted o die, infact i wanted to live. I over time got accustumed to the questions and even peoples remarks that i was crazy didn't stop me. I never found anythihng wrong with it, after a number of friends and family died it made me feel as though I was more a ive with each drop of blood I began to feel invincable and one day I woke up and didn't put my razor in my pocket like usual, and that was the end, but i don't know how it really ended it just did. I have been frustrated the last few months and started c tting and pulling out my hair again, now it seems to be worse then ever, but it is part of me i need to feel alive, i just hope it doesn't kill me. I loved your site it really helps me regain my hope, that i am sane and not crazy, like my family likes t tell me. A million Thank yous, Emily (write me back if you wish)

I am 15 years old and since the sixth grade I have cut myself. Mainly my upper arms and once my side. Four years later and nothing has improved or anything. I don't know what or how to deal with it till I met friends this year that cut. One of my frie ds took away my knives, making things worse, not better. I want to get help, but am afraid to ask my parents for a counseler. When I cut myself, I feel relief. So much depression is released and I feel no pain. Until later when I look back on the scar , making me want to recut myself again. My friends are worried, and so am I ever since a friend pushed me around and used me this past week, things have gotten worse for me, and I have cut my whole arm up 4 different times this week. And I don't know wh t to do anymore....

As a former self harmer,I gave up for I was not only harming myself but those close to me.I gave up on the 20th of December 1997 and have not looked back ever since.If I do get depressed I meditate and remember God.I find that writing poetry helps too as t provides an outlet for the hidden emotions.I hope that those who carry out self harm find peace in their hearts to stop with the help of these inspiring pages.God Bless you all.It is pages like these that provide help and a shoulder to cry on .Please be r in mind that you are not alone for there are numerous organisations that can help you.Good Luck.

I recently became aware of my good friends addiction to self-injury. I personaly would like to thank the makers of this site. More needs to be done to bring this coping mechanism into the general publics understanding. It is my opinion that SI is not the best solution for SIers. I know life is filled with many horrible complications which can trigger this behavior. I only wish that you will all try to find a better way to cope.

Please read this entire peice if you really would like to quit SI. Honestly I believe that depression is a state of mind that only the person feeling it can control. I do not believe that cutting yourself is the only way you can feel better. If you wer on a deserted island, would you be sitting there cutting yourself because of the depression caused by the depression of the situation? There may be a few, very few who actually have a problem. This problem is purely psycological. This means they have convinced themselves that they have a ligitmate reason for hurting themselves. THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE REASON! If you want to stop being depressed, go out and a meet people. Start conversations with other people you meet throughout the day. Make friend and party if u like. If you have never done anything like this, go out and start. Find a place you don't mind being like a bookstore or cafe and sit and read something. If there is someone who looks friendly and sitting alone, ask them what they are r ading, and go from there. You and only you decide whether or not the day will be good. It is all a matter of your state of mind. You have to decide that you are not going to be depressed any more. If you do this, I garantee that soon the urges will be ontrollable and eventually go away. Life is too short to spend it depressed and lonely. ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE IT, AND YOU CAN! If anyone would like to talk e-mail me and download aol instant messenger, and I can probably be more helpful. I am a very ins ghtful person that can see things you may have never noticed before. My screennames are boshirob and spreaddog, you can instant message me or email me at either name.

I just finished reading your web page and I just want to thank you for such an honest portrayal of cutters. I am very concerned about my Mom. She has hundreds of unexplained scars on her forearms and every time I see her(weekly) she has a new cut. I have confronted her about cutting and she denies everything. I'm pretty sure she's in denial and ashamed of herse f. I just want to help her..it hurts me so much to know she is in agony. Is there anything I can do to help? It doesn't seem like she is ready to get help because she's in denial. I feel like I am an unworthy daughter. I know if I was a better person she wouldn't feel the need to inflict harm on herself. It's killing me to feel like her cutting addiction is all my fault!! Kate Johnson

Bless you for your honesty and openness regarding this subject of cutting. I started cutting on myself when I was about 11 yrs old....I loved it and I hated it....but I was addicted. Through lots of therapy and lots of prayer, I haven't cut on myself in 5yrs. Like any other addiction, this does not affect you alone, but it affects all the lives in which you interact. I am 44yrs oldnow and the longer you wait to stop, the harder it gets. My heart goes out to you and your in my prayers. Cheryl

Well my sister made me look at this page out of pure and honest love. She just found out this year that I have been cutting myself for over 2 years now. I don't find anything wrong with it and don't want to stop. When my sister was noticing scars on my stomache, arms, etc. she realized what was going on. My sister is a social worker and knows all about cutting. She told me to read this and see what I thought. I cut for the same reasons that you have, but right now I just don't want to stop. I don't ant people finding out either. Its embarassing and I don't want to be judged by my friends, I am only 15 years old. I wish I had something else good to say, but truthfully after being depressed since the age of 9 I just don't feel like it's a terrible t ing. It makes me feel good and IF i will STOP, it won't be now or even soon. But I'm glad that you have done such a great job, and maybe someday I will be able to do the same.

Hi Jane, Thanks for your site; I always thought I was the only one. It's a comfort to know that I'm not just some kind of freak! I first started cutting when I was about 14 (I'm 37 now). I usually use a hobby knife or razor blade; I find the hobby knife more effective because I can do more damage more easily; there's nothing like the blade to cure a little melancholy. I always feel a lot better, almost blissful sometimes, after it happens. No-one seems to understand; not even mental health people; they always seem to feel it's just an attention-seeking device. Anyway, thanks for your efforts; I truly appreciate them.

I am a self-cutter, yet my parents were never abusive. My father workedd alot and my mother was my best friend. I suffered harassment and abuse by my classmates because I'm learning disabled. I was callled the retard, I had colone poored down my back and gum throwen in my hair. Many of my friendships failed, they either turned against me oor were ashamed to be seen with me. I learned that if I spooke I would be hharassed or laughed at. They even threw rocks at me when I played in my back yard. When I told my teachers things got woorse. I learned not to talk and to bury my feelings. I began to hhate and loathe myself. When my cousin died I withdrew into deep depression and began cutting myself and at the same time a friend I consider close began mentally abusing me and sexually taking advantage of me. Now I haave ddepression again una le to eescape the self blamee for what she did to me. My boyfriend saids "If I don't stop cuttinng myself I'll have to move out." It's like an addiction and I doon't know how to stop it. Self-cutting isn't onlly assoociate with abuse by parents or bad pa enting. Abuse by friends, classmates and failed relationnships with men can also be symptoms. My father workedd hard to feed us, but always found time to do stuff with us and my moother was a hoousewife always there when we needed her and encoouraging s when wee were down. I had wonderful parents, but many horrible reklatioonships with friends. I've hid for so long inside that I don't know hhow to trust my boyfriend and new friends with the awful feelings within me. I hate the person I am and I don't know how anybody could like me, because that is how my classmattes annd so called friends made mee feel.

People don't seem to understand that the reason some of us cut is to feel alive and not to punish ourself or others. Cutting is a way of excaping this world, this reality and living in our own worl, our own reality.i wish that my parents new and understu ed but i know if i toled them they would hate even more that they already do.

you are not alone even though you might think it you are never alone!!! One of my best friends told me that if at least 1 person believes in me, I can make it! And that has really helped me so every time I think about cutting I think of that and I used to be an at least twice a day cutter and I am working on my second week without cutting. So try to stop But remember just because some people dont understand, that doesnt make you crazy. just recently my dad found out about my SI, he is disapointed but it is a hell of a lot easier to bear! So I strongly sugest telling a school counselor (get to know him/her first), a friend, a friends mom/dad, or even your parents! It would be a hell of a lot easier!!!!!!!!!!!!! frogio(age12)

I thought I was the only one. And when they ask me why I do it, I say the same things that you said. I'm only 15, and I thought that I was alone. I've never known or heard of anyone like me. I'm manic depressive, and I still have never heard of anyone lik me. Not even when I was in a lock-down facility that was supposed to help me, but only made it worse. I'm grateful that I found this site.

I have been cutting for about 8 years now and have periods of remission. The last remission lasted for almost a year. I was so proud of myself - but, then it started up again. I feel so much shame when I do it. It's nice to know I'm not alone

Hi. I signed this guestbook over a year ago. At the time I boasted of having spent several years without cutting. Pride goeth before a fall. In February of this year I started cutting again. I started seeing a psychiatrist in March for depression. I have topped cutting again but still feel the urge some days. I haven't quite been able to bring myself to throw away the x-acto knife blade that I used to cut myself. I still carry it around in my wallet. This web site reminds me that 1) I am not alone and 2) really should stop. Thanks for running this site.

I'm 19 and have been cutting since jr high. It started I think, because of the physical and emotional abuse I suffered at the hands of the local football team. Every day was like walking into a demiliterized zone, attempting to hide from the older kids. A ter awile, I began to think that I actually desereved the beatings I recieved because I was different than everyone else, so one night, I took a carving knife to my left arm. After a few weeks of this, I noticed that not only did I stop feeling physical p in entirely, but that the kids left me alone, because they saw that if I could cut myself so deeply and not feel it, then whatever they did was nothing. They began to fear me and call me "psycho" and "satan". After awile I stopped cutting, because even th ugh I was still tormented constantly, I was no longer afraid to fight back, because I stopped fearing pain. Once they discovered that, I was left alone.

iam 27 and have been cutting for 14 years, im also an alchoholic. i usually cut when i have been drinking. i drink to escape pain in my life and when the drinking doesn't "cut it" ... out comes the razor blade. one of my thighs is very badley scarred and equired 52 stitches! that time i also recieved 14 stitches in my left wrist.(i always cut that wrist because it's the one i wear my watch on). i also have severe scarring on my other thigh and both ankles. ino longer go to the beach. two days ago i slashe my wrist again and managed to sustain a very deep gash. i know that it requires stitches(4 or 5) but am reluctent to see a doctor because i am embarresed and i dont like to talk to people about my si. so i am grateful to have this sight to visit. i do ha e a doctors appointment in 3 days so hopefully that will be a start in a new direction. thanks for listening, lonely in TO

Dear Jane I wrote to you some time ago to advise you about my recent book entitled: Healing the Hurt Within: Understand and relieve the suffering behind self-destructive behaviour (How To Books - ISBN 1 85703 299 3. The book is primarily about self-harm/self injury and is based on research with 37 people who self-harm. It also contains many personal stories, poems and helpful healing strategies identified by self-harmers. A synopsis and review can be found by visiting Amazon.co.uk and other online bookstores (by key ng in Jan Sutton). I am currently contacting all the bookstores requesting them to classify the book under the headings self-harm/self-injury, etc., as from research carried out by myself it seems that people who could benefit from the book are not aware f its existence. I hope all is going well with your site and wish you a peaceful Christmas. Thank you. Jan Sutton

ANY OTHER WAY Open cuts-blood stained rags, The mark of a lost child. Trembling hands and a tear streaked face, An empty soul, hurting heart. Hurt which cannot be expressed- any other way. See the cuts the burns- the fear in her eyes. In the eyes of an empty girl. The girl who cannot deal With the pain, the hurt, the memories. The scars tell stories- Of pain that cannot be expressed- ANY OTHER WAY.

I thank you for your concern of others, I know how it is to feel like you are all alone. And even if there are people who say that they are there for you, they have never been in your situation and they don't know what it is like to have these unexplainab e feelings within. I have a hard time talking to anyone because I don't understand myself and am definitly not able to explain it to others. So I thank you for sending the message that we are not alone, because often it feels as though we are.

I'm almost 17, and have been SI since I was 11. I began by cutting the bottoms of my feet with a toenail clipper. I don't exactly know why, I started: it just felt good. Now I cut (with kitchen knives, generally) for emotional release, on my upper thighs nd pelvic area when it's too warm for long sleeves and pants, and on my wrists and shins when the weather permits. I just recently realized that what I do is SI....it simply never occured to me that it was anormal...I also just told my best friend about i . She and I have agreed that I need to get some sort of therapy for this, but I can't go to my parents for it. Thanks to sites like yours I'm able to get someideas of how others have overcome SI.

I used to cut myself but have not had the urge to do it in 7 years, I've been in therapy a long time and it's helped me tremendously. I've learned many things about myself and become a stronger, more productive person. I'm in college now, working towar a degree in psychology. I want to write a paper on self-injury so I checked out this & many other sites. Although I have no desire to cut myself anymore, I miss the drama that surrounded my life when I cut.

I first cut myself just before my 16 birthday with a pair of scissors by slashing across my wrists a few times. I stopped for about a year or so and then on the night before my 17th birthday i cut my foearm with the same scissors out of boredom, it cause some exileration, the licking of my wounds felt good, more alive than for some time. So i have continued for the past 6 weeks, cutting usualy the forearms, then i cut my knee which caused a blood gush of some size. From there i cut my shins, thighs, up er arms and most resently my chest with scissors or a knife. Resently i tried burning flesh, eating the blistered skin afterward- the burn was more intense and longer lasting leaving more feeling. today i cut myself with a friend in the room- which prov ked no reaction from him. My body has the signs of more than 50 cuts littering it, some becoming scarring and yet its addictive to do when bored. I like the site by the way.

Thank you so much for sharing your pain with us. I have beeen a SI for over a year and a half. I have about 20 scars on my fore arm. That is the only place I will cut. It makes it kind of hard because I don't wear anything with out long sleeves. I want to stop and I am really trying. I am very embarrased by my acts of self injury, but it is the only thing that makes me feel better for a little while. Isn't that what we all want, just to feel better. It makes me feel worse because I am a wife and mother. Li e that should make a difference. Sometimes I just don't know. I want so much to be "normal". Self injury is a taboo thing. I am just glad there are sites like this to let me know that I am not alone.

Fabulous page. I've been cutting a little over a year for apparently no reason at all except that it's hard being in high school. But, it's been nineteen days since I hurt, and I'm almost sure that I'll get through the summer without broken skin. I jus really wanted to tell someone that; my best friend knows I do this shit, but I never seem to be able to open my mouth and actually share these thoughts. Sorry this is so long. I'm feeling quite nice about life for the last few days, even though I keep pressing on a bruise on my hand- I got that from playing a pain game with some guys at school, proving I could be as strong and macho as the boys. Basically slapping each other's hand until someone decides they've had enough. Needless to say I won. Thank you so very much for being open about this "delicate" subject. Bye.

Nice web site. When I was 15 and 16 I lived in a youth shelter since I was heavily into drugs and ran away from home a number of times. While there I started slicing my arms and legs with razor blades and still bear about 30 scars on my body. I ended up spending 2 1/2 months on a psych ward. Somehow or other I have manged to stumble through 20 years without anymore SI, but I still struggle with feelings of unreality and depersonalization. In recent years I have flirted with SI (taking out a knife and pressing it against my throat or arms, etc.) but have drawn back from the precipe. I have two kids and can't get too lost for them. I have a wife who would understand (she has been hospitalized herself for depression and had an eating disorder as a highschool student) but I seem unable to get these thoughts out of their hiding place. Maybe signing this guest book is a step in the right direction. I woulf like to share a poem I wrote when I was 16. I recite this a lot to myself as a sort of catharsis: Slice deep And reap The harvest of your blood - Red blood Deeper yet Don't forget The blood will set you free - You'll see. Deep slice How nice The blood runs down my arm - No harm. Of course, there really was a lot of harm.

Something I notice that is rarely mentioned is cutting to hurt others. Though it is not the full reason on why I do it, I always get the satisfaction that if whoever triggered it knew, he/she would probably feel incredible guilt. I just thought that thi insight may help people overcome their problems (though it hasn't helped me-I'm forever addicted). Good luck!

how do you controll self injury? If your upset or mad enough your gonna do it if you have a problem with hurting your self. I think it all comes down to self esteem, or maybe if you are depressed. sometimes i cant controll what i do to my self. I have urned myself, cut myself, and i allways pick at wonds that are healing. I have also attempted to commite suicide. I wish more people were of this problem that so many people have, and this is a good thing you have done. you can e-mail me if you want. Katy

The first time I ever cut was about two years ago. I don't even know why I did it. I don't know how I got the idea to do it. I had been doing a lot of stuff before the first incident though. I was at the point where I took four to five doses of LSD ev ry other day without fail. I also had many piercings. I am only sixteen years old right now, and the inside of both my calves are 100% scar tissue. I regret it after each time I do it, but then I get scared when the scars start to fade. It is a big pa t of my life, but I need to give it up. I can never wear a pair of shorts, or a short sleeved shirt. When people see my scars I have no idea what to tell them, most of the time I tell them I kicked a cat. My parents are conservative Indian people who re use to let me see a psychiatrist, for fear I'll turn out worse. They don't know about my scars or my habit. I feel like I am almost living a double life. Things are starting to get worse, I've moved on to different tactics, and other body parts. I nee help, and I don't know where to get it. Please help me If you can.

just dropping in to see the updated site and say hi. you are an inspiration and great friend. i wanted to tell you that i cut again over the holidays. a friend of mine gave me some kitchen knives for a gift and they were right there and i was at a really ough point, so i just did it. unfortunately my parents showed up right after while i was wearing short sleves. *oops* oh well. that was not going to be the point of my story. the point of my story was to be that the kitchen knives did not work so well as he x-acto knife, as they left these ugly scars :( where the blade really didn't leave much of one at all. any ideas how to make the scars fade? (hugs) love ya.

When I first did it, it was a big release. At the time I was 15, in grade ten and watching my parents shatter my whole family image apart. I had so much hate, confusion, that I did not want to show. I hit walls, hit myself with objects and then for no rea on, began cutting myself. The first time was a rush, but after became just a habit. My mom found out and threatened me not to do it, but I think it took me 2 years on my own to actually stop. I currently am 21 years old and in college taking a Social Serv ces Worker program. I don't think about cutting myself anymore but when people notice the scars on my arms, I never know what to say. This will sound strange but I would never want to give them up. They tought me a lot about myself and I think that is wh I am going into the field of SSW. To you (and everyone esle)I wish you all the best of luck. And never forget that in us all there is a strong person. Remember you are not alone.

I have caused myself pain for only a few years now. And up until now, it only got worse. My mom doesn't know, and I am afraid to see a therapist. It's so good to tell people with the same problem...or even here from them. It's not like a therepist, al ays saying they know how you feel when the don't. It helped me more to realize for myself how much I hated myself. I am down to not cutting as much. Though ocasionally, I still burn myself, and when I do get an urge to cut, I go mad, and stab at myself It's hard. It's like an addiction. This was meant to be the one thing in my own life that I could control. It controls me. Just recently, I held my hand over a hot light bulb, and could not fing the power within me to take my hand off. I ended up t rning off the light, and smashing the still hot glass into my skin. Sounds pretty sick, doesn't it? I know that I am depressed. And I find it pathetic that I seem to have no ability to be happy...without the cutting. My boyfriend is very supportive...He walked in on me with a fish-gutting knife at my arm. Sorry if I sicken anyone. I just want to thank you for this page. Any one who needs support, or just a sympathetic ear, feel free to mail me. The box is always open. Thanks for listening

I really identify with the pain that you express on your page. I feel just like that sometimes. Cutting was like crying for me and also a way to feel real. I don't injure anymore but the strong urges come often. I don't know how I keep from doing anything to myself. I try to keep busy with something that comforts me instead of cutting. Yeah, cutting comforted me. The razor was my best friend. I grieved when I quit cutting. I come so close to cutting here lately. I guess I need to hang in there with everyth ng I can. I am doing my best. I really want to thank you for your page and your courage to share yourself with all that come to your page. I think you have a great page. :) Keep up the hard work.

I really can feel what you describe on this page. I have been there. I know that triggers can be very difficult to get around. I know there is alot of inner pain that I still have and you have too. You are not alone. I have ruined every part of my body wi h SI. I have too many scars to count. I don't think it is totally my fault, though. I think that the adults that abused me when I was a child put these scars on me. I know I must take responsibilty for picking up the razor blade, but they created the need for the razor blade. I have lots of anger. I deal with that daily and it is very hard. I just want you to know that I understand and have been there. You can write me if you would like to. This is a great page.

Your page is awsome. Thanks for signing my guestbook. I don't usually cut, but I have done it before. 5 times to be exact. I have the marks to prove it. Usually I cut for all the wrong reasons. Once I cut myself to prove to my psychologist that I was fuc ed up. Another time it was to show everyone in school that I wasn't some goody goody. The most recent time, I heard a voice in my head telling me that if I cut myself everything would be ok. The voice was forcing me to do it or something. I guess that was the only actual time I have cute myself when it wasn't an act of manipulation. Well take care, I'd love to talk to you some time. Even though I don't cut I know what you're going through with the depression. Love, Rachel P.S. What does SI mean? Maybe I'm stupid, but I really don't know

Hi there.......I finally got round to looking at your page and I have to say i think it's excellent! As soon as I can I'll put the 'stronger' site on the webring of yours. It's so great seeing more sites about self-injury, and if there was one piece of advice I had to leave here I suppose I'd say, there's nothing wrong with self-injury, and it helps if you understand it/yourself to say this and it's sites like these that he p people understand it and themselves. Thanks!

Jane, Fuck those assoles at the PP who can't deal with the TRUTH! You're doing a great thing here and I definately support you. (I wish I had the guts!) Don't let a few people ruin a good cause - you keep up the awesome work! Really, if they can't tak it they don't belong here...I've seen some brain freaking testimonials on the net, too that would totally rock they're world! I really commend you for being so brave.

Hi Jane..nice going with the page..it looks great. I thought i'd just add some of my thoughts. I began cutting about a year and a half ago, doesn't seem long but for me it's entirely too long. The sad thing though is that it's so addicting and it feels so good (phisically) that I don't want to stop but I hink somewhere inside me I do..I myself am in denial just like everyone around me. Almost everyone at one point has asked me about the cuts on my arm...cuts that I so innocently said my cat had did, cuts that couldn't ever be done by a cat because they are too deep. Once my buddy Mat asked me about them...1st every single thought I had ver had about this subject raced through my head, and then I blurted out "My cat did it." I'm still not sure if he believed me but he hasn't said another word about it so i'm guessing he believed me or he just really wanted to. Same goes with my mom, this is a secret that, in my lifetime, will never be revealed to her because she loves me so much and I want her to be proud if anything. not ashamed. I told her the same excuse about 2 weeks ago and she "believed" me. She, more then anybody, knows our cat doe n't scratch..so she is obviously denying this. WHY?? THIS IS A PROBLEM, NEEDING TO BE SOLVED!! Right now I want to tell someone or someone to say "Becky, a cat couldn't do that! Are you ok?" Or maybe just a hug..I don't know. Anyway i'm sorry Jane you can t get me started on a subject of this nature and then expect me to shut up. I'm sorry. (((HUGS AND LOTS OF LOVE)))

Jane, I think your site is great! Even if it's new, I'm impressed already! I agree it takes quite a person to write a testimonial like this one and share it with the world - most people wouldn't have the guts! Keep up the good work and thanks for being here.< r>

I just want to say that I think, that for the sake of your kids, you should go get help. And dont think I dont know how you feel, cuz I do. I used to cut. But for your kids... I know you dont want to hear this...
