Self Harm If you or someone you know is struggling with self harm and needs advice or alternatives, we're here to help.
Hey im new here and its taken a long time to bring myself to get some help/advice.
I started Self harming when i was about 14 so would be comming upto 9 years now. Its weird to think i can openly talk about my SH with my close friends but when they ask the reaons for this i dont know i feel once upon a time there should have been a reason but i cant remember and now there isnt one. I seem to sh when i get frustrated but not by others by myself and for really silly things like showing up late etc.. i blame myself for nothing and get into a state where i find the only way to come back to earth is by SH. i dont even know im doing it i get this sence of relief (not a buzz) something to take my mind else where (else where from what i dont know as i have a great life) and it dosent hurt until the next day then i think pap.
Ive never asked for help/support before you see i hadnt Sh For almost a year so i thought great its gone but then last week i had a silly argument not thinking it was both our faults and SH because of it. I always find to do it in the same place (Does anyone else) I never wanted to ask for help cause i felt like if i said anything to anyone id be a freek and still get this feeling now. Ive never met another SH but would love to so if anyone know of any support groups or people in the north east of england to point me someplace id be gratefull
Please help me just understand and possibly other ways of stopping being frustrated by myself. What i also dont understand is why SH brings me down into a calm state and i hate doing it.
