Self-Harm

I don't know whether i'm over stepping the mark talking about self harm on here but hope i'm not breaking any rules or anything as it's not intentional i promise.

I've hurt myself again today. Don't worry it's not serious and i see my GP tomorrow and intend on telling her so it's all good.

Just feel so sad suddenly.

I'm talking to a friend which is good cos she is supportive.

May go bed so i can calm.

Any tips?

  • Hi Anne,

    and don't apologise for forgetting.  If I apologise every time I forget I've told you something and you do the same we'll probably end up writing nothing but apologies.Smile

    Six children? I bet 13 bunnies are easier.

    My children these days are the ones I work with, and they're a pretty fantastic bunch.

    It's a shame you felt lonely in your support group.  Was there no-one you could talk to about how you actually felt?  There are times when support groups maybe become too much like social groups and get into the coffee-morning habits where everyone pretends to be okay.  "How are you?"  "I'm fine."  Sure you are.  That's why you're at a support group.

    I lived with loneliness for a great many years, still feel it now and would feel it more if I wasn't just so busy.  Maybe that's why I keep so busy after all.  And loneliness is awful and it's very, very common.

    Talking to me, you're invited to talk about yourself.  I don't have a problem with that.  I like that.  And if I can be someone you feel free to talk to and that helps, that's a bonus.  I already like and respect you and am glad to count you as a friend.

    Anyway, I'm writing this a bit late in the day and have to get to bed, since it's school in the morning.  I wish you a very good night, or a very good day if you see this tomorrow.

    Be careful out there, and look after yourself.
