Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
You are very brave to risk ridicule and disdain to share your story, your struggle, your photos... all to help encourage people you don't know. Those who don't understand self-harm are fortunate to have not borne the burden of relentless pain and hopelessness... the desperation for just one moment of relief. Thank you for sharing this post. It reminded me to reflect on my own personal path and to be thankful.

Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
Stop doing to yourself. The physical pain will erase the emotional pain just temporally. I know. I've been there, too.

Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
You have a right to your opinion. But I do want to point out I was psychotic at the time. I don't want to go into too many details, but i was told I had to do this by one of my two voices or really bad things would happen to someone I love. |

Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
Ian's just messing with you. Well done on getting better, I bet you feel amazing now compared to 3 years ago. I'm assuming that you received medical help to get you though the initial stages of getting better?

Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
Thank you! Yes, I had a lot of medical help. I went through 23 Electroconvulsive Therapy treatments and I was in and out of the mental hospital when I was a danger to myself. I have some memory loss but it's a fair trade off in my opinion. I have been Major Depression, and therefore psychotic free, for right around 2 years. That doesn't mean that I am happy all the time but rather my mood is more in the "normal" range. For the first year I was Major Depression free I kept waiting for everything to crash and burn. I had spent 12 years straight in a major shit hole and I had honestly forgotten what it was like to be happy. I am working full time and going back to school. I can't begin to express how amazing it feels to be content. I could almost never just sit in a room by myself and not loose it. Now, just being able to stand myself and look forward to even the mundane things in life is such an amazing feeling. I am really lucky to have been given another shot at life. It is also comforting to know that if shit hits the fan and I go back down the rabbit hole as my wife and I call it, I know what works for me. I can always go back to ECT if life comes to that. Unfortunately my scars are still fairly noticeable. However, I plan on getting a tattoo to cover them up eventually. |

Re: Self-Harm/Cutting
Ouch. I hope you continue to feel better. Did they have to clean those out with saline before fixing them up? They did that when I was brought in fir a deep cut on my wrist. Hurt like a bitch. |
