Hi all.
I thought Id try to condense my experiences into a short tale so that I dont bore you all too much.
Here goes....
I began self harming when i was at high school due to bullying , pressure to do well in exams and family problems. I think i was about 14 years old.
I hid it from my mum and step dad for ages. Telling them lame excuses such as they are accidents and scratches.
Im very close to my mum and she figured out was I had been doing. I saw a child counsellor for about 6 months. But as soon as i turned 16 they said i was classed as an "adult" and they couldn`t help me anymore.
From that point i have dealt with my self harming on my own.
My father doesn`t speak to me or see me and I have had bad experiences with men which i think have led to alot of my harming problems.
These days Ive learnt to tell people im annoyed , im upset , im angry!
Ive learnt that i shouldn`t be harming myself because of what other people do to me.
But now and again i loose my strength and harm myself. The last time was about 4 months ago.
My close friends know about my self harming and so does my boyfriend. But i am still very conscious and ashamed of my scars.
