Are there any self harmers?

I self harmed because I have depression and anxiety. I found everything too hard and had to do something. Sounds stupid and a lot of people will make harsh judgements but, honestly, anybody who has ever self harmed has my sympathy. I've been in that dark place too and continue to battle against it.

Keep strong. :)

Yes and now I'm mostly recovered. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. If anyone needs to talk I'm here for you.

Yes, I used to be anorexic and self harmed myself. But I'm slowly accepting my body and loving myself more. 3 months without cutting! :D be strong beauties! It does get better in the end!

@Emma just be there for her. Tell her she can talk to you and trust you. Stuff like that. Don't get mad at her if she harms and don't place blame on her.

I agree with Courtney. Never go mad at her for doing this. Tell her to try and find help. Maybe go to a couple of counselling sessions. Just support her and listen. It's upsetting but it's something a lot of people have to go through unfortunately but, she does need to find help.

I used to in grade 8 and 9. My mom found out about my eating disorders and I spiraled out of control trying to find another coping mechanism. I have since stopped for over a year. I do have scars, and they are noticeable, but I hide them with my makeup skills when I'm feeling self concious.

I did a few years ago because I was depressed but I've recovered. I do have scars and they are noticeable but I'm not worried about hiding them. It's just part of my past.
