I came from a difficult past like many of us. I started self harming when I was 8 years old, the trigger point was being molested. I showed signs of mental illness before that.
I first used this forum last year..I had no life and nothing to live for where I was.
Jump 1 year later and though I have many problems i do well for myself. I work, I go to both day school and real estate school, I have plans to go to get another degree next year. People who look at me are very impressed with who I have become despite the challenges I have faced..so on to my past. Last year I was anorexic and had to spend some time in the hospital. I didn't cut though. I only just 3 weeks ago relapsed after being clean for 2 years. I now do this regularly to calm myself down, or if I am having a conflict with my best friend for example. I don't know why, it really really helps me. So my question is..can this be practical looking forward? It can't kill me if I do it in moderation. So why do people make a big deal out of it?
