I've seen you guys do this "Anyone here?" thing a lot....why don't you just use the chat room thing on this site?? It'd be a lot easier, surely..!

scars
Posted by Anne on Tue May 7 00:16:01 2002 (#2762)
I was just wondering, is it normal for scars to itch really bad?
My scars never used to itch, I always used to cut on the top of my lower arm. But last year I had to move to the bottom of my lower arm and to my upper arm, and even though the scars are over a year old they still ITCH LIKE HELL!!! It's driving me fucking insane!!!
Has anyone else experienced this???

Yup, I've got a bunch of scars that itch. I think it's the nerve damage or something. I've noticed that they're not as sensitive as they used to be. It should go away in time - albeit, a long time.

Welcome to the board. My daughter cuts, or she used to in the past. She is almost 19. She started when she was 14. This is a good place to

when does it go away?
Posted by some girl on Tue May 7 05:39:00 2002 (#2772)
I've been struggling with anxiety which what seems like forever. I've been labeled with enough disorders (anxiety & depression) by my doctor. I went through a period of cutting. The urges have almost completely gone away. I'm trying counsilling now instead of going through med after med. But it's times like these *which are becoming more frequent* that I wonder if it will ever go away. Because if it doesn't... I want out.

Re: when does it go away?
Posted by Broken Girl on Tue May 7 17:06:01 2002 (#2779)
Hi
I can't tell you if it ever goes away, it hasn't for me yet, but there are plenty of people who have got through it so it must do. I've got more personality and mood disorders then I knew existed. As well as depression and paranoia. Oh yeah, how could I foget, insomnia too. So your not alone in this, I'm still cutting though, that's getting worse. Email me if you ever feel alone, cuz your not.

hey hon.....
i don't know your situation but i do know what anxiety and depression feel like....anxiety was huge for me...i went on a lot of meds and could barely do anything without having a panic attack or trying to hide somewhere....(i loved to curl up in a dark corner to gain control of my fear)....BUT....that has all changed for me now....sometimes i still get pretty anxious but most of the time i can deal....i know it sounds fucking depressing but maybe sometimes it just takes a lot of time and hard work....try to hang in there....i really really know what it feels like to want out...
try to take care

No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Broken Girl on Tue May 7 17:21:49 2002 (#2782)
Hi
Sometimes I wonder if its worth it. No one cares, apart from you guys... I mean, my mum can only take this whole denial thing so far. Does she want me dead? Does she really hate me that much? My friends as well, they pretend nothings wrong... but something is VERY VERY wrong. So no support from any one, then please tell me what the piont is... If I stay alive, isn't it selfish cuz none of them seem to want that. Am I just staying to spite them? I dont know, I dont care, neither do they. I'm talking shit now, I'm sorry but as Dido says 'I'm so lonely I dont even want to be with myself anymore'
How very very true.

i'm sorry hon.....
life is a bitch sometimes....i certainly know that.....i don't know what to say except that i hope you will give life a chance...and that i really seriously hope things get better for you...i believe they can---sometimes it takes patience though which is very frustrating i know..
be careful

sweetheart there's so much you can be and do, if only you give yourself a chance. Maybe it seems like your friends and family don't care now, but if you give up then you'll never have a chance to find the people out there who will care and who will be your proper friends. I know there are plenty of them and in time you will find them. Please don't give up yet. Love you girl! el x x

Re: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Nicke on Wed May 8 11:42:41 2002 (#2811)
I love Dido,
"Safe in my own skin" is my fave song on her album.
I also like Pink and Natalie Imbruglia when I am feeling down.
Stay strong, Nicke.XX
P.S. There is always a point, you just have to WANT to find it. I hope you find something to hold on to. I think of my little sister when I feel really sad, and how much I would miss her.
Just a thought!!

Re: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Eleanor on Wed May 8 22:47:23 2002 (#2825)
You've got good taste in music!! I love pink's "don't let me get me" because it's like the story of my life. Natalie inbruglia's "smoke" is another of my favourite's and anything by dido's got to be good!
Sorry, music's one of my passions, I had to reply! Love el x-
Re: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Nicke on Thu May 9 09:48:40 2002 (#2850)
Of the 3 artists mentioned, you picked my fave songs too. Have you heard Pink's album! Misundaztood! It is excellent.
I also like some songs because I feel like I can relate to them, also that in some way they highlight points in my life!!!
Music helps me when I am down.

Re: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Eleanor on Thu May 9 15:18:10 2002 (#2853)
yeah, I've got that album, it's great! I drove everyone mad coz I played it all the time when I first got it.
Sometimes I think music is the only thing that keeps me sane. Even when it seems like noone else understands, when I listen to some song lyrics and they describe exactly how I'm feeling I think well someone must have writtn those lyrics so maybe someone out there does understand. That probably makes no sense but hey!
El x x xRe: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Broken Girl on Thu May 9 17:32:10 2002 (#2864)
Hi
Of course that makes sense! Im sorry if Im interupting a conversation but music is my life so I have to but in! haha, I havnt got anything by pink but Natalie Imbrugia is great! Does anyone like Elbow here? Cuz no ones heard of them where I live! I love the Verve too...
Sorry for interupting!
Love Ella xThere is power in Music
Posted by Nicke on Thu May 9 17:56:22 2002 (#2866)
I have heard of elbow, but I haven't heard any of their songs, if that makes any sense!
I love Natalie Imbruglia's first album, but her second one is cool. It is called 'White Lilies Island' it is not maybe as good as her first but is really good none the less.
Have you heard of Tracey Chapman. She sings about some really deep stuff. Mainly Black slaves in Africa, but her songs are really really good.
I listen to songs for their lyrics, more than their beat. a song has to have soul, meaning, feeling and emotion.
I believe you have to be able to feel the music. A bit weird but music always makes me feel a certain way. So if I am down I will listen to one particular songs. If I need cheering up I will listen to someone else. If I want to sing my heart out I will listen to someone different.
Do you ever feel like that.
There is power in music.
I wonder if the song writers ever consider what impact their songs may have?????
Nicke.
Re: There is power in Music
Posted by Eleanor on Thu May 9 18:09:54 2002 (#2872)
Most people think I'm weird for listening to lyrics rather than the beat etc. Music means so much more to me than just something to dance to though.
I love natalie Imbruglia's first album but I've not heard any of her second.
Tracey Chapman's got an amazing voice, don't get me started or I'll be here all day! Ella knows what I'm like with my music!! lol!
I love all kinds of music and I listen to a lot of old stuff too.
Ok, I really will shut up now!!
Love El x x x
Re: No one cares... so whats the point?

hey sweetie pie! god girl, you and your interrupting!! lol! I love elbow and the verve, but we've had this conversation many times before so I'll shut up now! hehe! I'm still waiting for Bob Dylan to come and rescue me by the way, If he comes to you first don't forget you promised to share! :-)
Love ya loads!! elle x x xRe: No one cares... so whats the point?
Posted by Nicke on Thu May 9 20:22:16 2002 (#2878)

the past is back
Posted by anya on Tue May 7 21:18:35 2002 (#2792)
The first time i ever cut was because i had to punish myself for all the mistakes that ive made and that was 4 yrs ago. I let someone in to my life and he raped me. but now hes back and hes brought everything with him and im so scared. i managed to stop cuttin for a while and i was recovering from depression but its all back now worse than ever.
i dont want to die cause i know he'll win but i just want out. i really want to leave this place and get away, forever.sorry

Eleanor's right! YOu can't let this guy win. Keep
fighting! I know it still really upsets Tara when
she sees the guy who raped her running around
town. She always calls me and I can usually tell
what has happened. But she has been fighting back.
The last time she saw him and he saw her, she flipped him off right in front of his friends. I just had to laugh. Take care sweetie, I'm here if
you ever want to talk.

Posted by unkown on Wed May 8 02:20:28 2002 (#2805)
it is getting really hard now its been a month without cutting but im scared the slightest thing will trigger me again. I know i would feel so much beater if i did it now but i also know i would be letting myself and my friends down that are helping me through it i wish you all luck if you are trying to stop and you can do it just have faith and im saying that after 7 years of solid cutting deep as i could with a blade be strong and work out what you want from life theres something there for everyone you just have to find it

That was wonderful! I can't say I personally know
how hard it is to stop, but I watch my daughter
and see how hard she works every day on this. She
has been cut free for almost 1 full year!! I'm so
proud of her, but if she were to cut again, she
knows that I am there for her in evey way possible. She has come a long way and still has a
long way to go. Take care everyone. I love all of
you very much.

and just a added sentance i have also let people in to help me which i found hard to do for 6 years i wanted to keep myself to myself it was my problems my fault etc but talking to someone can really help as its helped me realised how much life i have and how much i dont want to waste it.
ill post back occasionally to tell you how i am getting on but i think im going to finally free of cutting by getting it out and talking and not thinking noone cares because alot of people do
take care xx

New, but not really!!
Posted by Nicke on Wed May 8 11:21:56 2002 (#2809)
Hey guys,
I used to post here about 14 months ago. I got better so needed the board less, until it could do no more for me.
Now I am breaking again. I started SI'ing again about 1 1/2 months ago. The doctor put me back on meds, but it doesn't matter how many pills they force down my throat, it wont take away the pain in my head and heart.
I just wanted to say hello, and hope that you guys wont mind me posting occasionally, if I feel really down.
Thanx guys!!
Stay strong, Nicke.XX

Hell is living within me,

hi, welcome back..I dont remember you but thats okay, my memory sucks.
Welcome back, Im sorry you've gotten back into SI but you know how it works, you just gotta get yourself Out, if that makes sence.
I know exactly what you mean though, about the meds.
No matter how much or what meds I take the things that have happened in my past still haunt me.take care

Second Post!! LOL
Posted by Nicke on Wed May 8 11:29:01 2002 (#2810)
Well, I just read the post "New???" and well, I guess as this is my second post, it makes me an exception to that rule.
I know how much support one can offer when they are going through the same problems. You don't have that 'understanding' barrier to get through. Everyone on the board, knows what it is like to experience first hand, or live with, and support those who are experiencing SI.
That is more support than and psychiatrist or therapist could offer.
Stay strong, Nick.XX

Hi I've read messages here for a bit, but this is my first post. I'm 18/f. I don't really remember when i started cutting. The first time i remember i was 12. from the time i was 14-17 i cut almost everyday, but last year the depression got to be too much for me to handle and my life fell apart. i hit rock bottom and worked my way up and have been doing pretty well for the past year. i haven't cut myself since last july. im posting here because for no real reason i have been feeling so low lately. i can feel the urge to cause myself pain creeping slowly back. i dont know anyone in real life who understands...
later, Vapor-

Hi,
I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've been cutting on and off since about age 12 and I know exactly how you feel. Lately I've been pretty deeply depressed, having nightmares, and feeling suicidal, but about a year ago, I was the happpiest I had ever been. It's funny how emotions can take you up and down and turn you inside out.
I think it's great that you've been getting better, which I hope means happier, but there's no shame in feeling "down." It's just a matter of how you cope with it. Myself, I haven't found a healthy way to do that, but if you can, I support you all the way. If you ever need to vent, feel free to e-mail me.

inside
Posted by Broken Girl on Wed May 8 19:45:04 2002 (#2814)
You look at my scars in fear
Then you should see inside
Dejection and misery leer
Malice, hurt and spite reside
Any love has all been torn
These scars are but a mark
Of past anger and scorn
Those feelings are too dark
The outsides repulsive too
But tears surge threw my soul
Emotionally scarred till death drew
Not a heart but a shallow hole
Burning comets of rage sent
Dotted along my skin in rows
By my slashes of torment
Signs of hurt that no one knows
Hope is in here that I'm sure
Something to protect me
From this anger so pure.-

round in circles
Posted by Eleanor on Wed May 8 22:43:27 2002 (#2824)
I went to the doctors today and she changed my medication....again.
It seems like a never ending circle, I start on one lot of tablets and they make me feel shit for 3 or 4 weeks. Then my body gets used to them so even though they aren't working, at least I don't feel even shittier on top of everything else. Then they up my dose because it's not working and I feel shit for another 4 weeks. Then they go and change the bloody tablets so i'm back to square one again.
She also keeps asking to look at my scars, like she's checking up on me. I always feel so vulnerable when my scars are on show. I don't know, it's just weird.
Sorry for the rant folks but it's been a long day. Hope everyone's ok. Love always, el x-
Re: round in circles
Posted by Rhonda on Thu May 9 00:54:51 2002 (#2834)
I'm okay, I just hope you're feeling better. I
kind of know about changing medication because of
my youngest daughter, Tasha. She has seizures and
it took about a year and half to get her medication figured out. She's taking something
called Zonegran, but she's at the max level for it. If she has another seizure, we will have to
start all over!!! God, I don't want that to happen. Okay, that was my small little rant for the day. Seriously, I hope you're feeling better
honey. Take care of yourself.

Question....
Posted by Sar on Wed May 8 23:23:35 2002 (#2826)
I gotta question or five
Why do people self-mutalate. I mean, I have done my share of it..not much but a bit and I don't know why it's going on. So someone help me understand?
-
Re: Question....
Posted by KAT on Wed May 8 23:31:36 2002 (#2829)
theres a lot of different reasons people have concluded that others self injure.
Maybe because the pain you are emotionally feeling is so strong and overwhelming that you need to distract yourself with physical pain..
It's commonly called a coping mechanism to things going on in life, sometimes people feel so ashamed and angry that they take it out on their own body so that they wont harm anyone else, in any way.
I mean like I said theres a number of reasons everyone does it, And Im sure everyones reason is a little different in some way.Self injury is just a quick easy fix like drugs, or sex, or whatever else.
You need to feel that hurt that pain, you need to see your own blood to reasure yourself that you are still a living person on this earth, and you are worth even a little.
It's a tough thing to go through and its hell to try and stop., Im sure you know.
Read up on it, thats what I did, and still do.

Re: Question....
Posted by KAT on Thu May 9 01:42:43 2002 (#2837)
well I guess you've just got to look inside yourself and your past and see whats making you so hurt, so tore up that you feel the need to hurt yourself.
I'd say (if you havent gone very far into it)
look into it now and stop now..it'll be much easier.

It seems like the more i try to figure it out the less i understand it. there are so many complex reasons... sorry i cant help much. right now i want to hurt myself to justify the hurt i feel on the inside. make it real. like i dont trust my own emotions. when i am hurting myself i know i am feeling hurt and i know i am in pain. i dunno, make any sense to anyone? i do it also to prove that i still have control. that no matter how much other people hurt me, they cant hurt me more than i can hurt myself. anyone relate?

History Teacher
Posted by greeneggsam on Wed May 8 23:56:23 2002 (#2831)
The other day, I took a bunch of caffeine pills before school, and I was in history when I came down...hard. My teacher came up to me and asked me to go out into the hallway with her. I panicked, because I was afraid of what she might know. She asked me what had been going on and even said that she worries about me.
In a way, I want to open up to her and tell her everything, just because I never really confided my secrets in anyone before. My mom saw my scars twice, but she thinks I'm "better" now, even though we could never afford to go see a professional.
I'm afraid that if I open up, my teacher will tell my mom, and everybody will think I'm crazy and my home life will get even more fucked up, but a part of me knows that she is the only person who can help me. She is also a psychology teacher, so that makes me think she might understand, at least a little bit. What do you guys think?

Re: History Teacher

Babe I seriously think you should talk to her. You could go on a vow of confidentiality. You could make up a contract and have her sign it and have a friend witness it or someone else. This way you could get her in a lot of trouble if she ratted you out. But You should talk to her if you want to and if you would feel better.

Listen to me, i KNOW how tempting it is to open up, but you CANT trust teachers. sure, they care. but they have to cover their own asses. if they dont tell there are legal reprocussions... they want to help you, and are usually not quailified to do so in the way you need so then feel obligated to help and then try and dump you off on therapists. trust me, its a bad idea...

Re: History Teacher
Posted by Eleanor on Thu May 9 09:00:31 2002 (#2846)
I just thought I'd warn you, I told one of my teachers becasue he asked what was going on etc...BIG mistake. He sadi I could trust him and all that shit, but it turned out in the end that everything I told hime he had to tell my parents and a doctor and all that shit for legal reasons. Apparently if something bad happened because of my si and they found out he knew and hadn't said anything then he could be in a sorts of trouble. If you're ready for that then go for it, but in my experience it aint a good idea unless you're ready for you're parents etc to get involved. Love el x

Re: History Teacher
Posted by Sar on Thu May 9 12:38:45 2002 (#2852)
Vapor that simply isn't true. I've had a friend confide in a teacher about something very important because she wanted help and she had to talk to someone. Not all teachers are all code and shit. Sometimes taking that risk though can help.
-
Re: History Teacher
Posted by Vapor on Thu May 9 18:42:26 2002 (#2875)
i was just saying that there are laws out there. teachers can get in big trouble - there's not that many willing to risk jail time and shit.
in my experience, from confiding in teachers, they say they care and want to help, find out how messed up i am, dont want the responsibility. i was just trying to tell her not to get her hopes up too high. i have had all sorts of expectations when it seems so tempting to confide in a teacher and things have never once worked out. it has always made things worse.
your right though, some teachers are great. i had one who was amazing and she truly cared about me... we were very close and it took me a long time to build the confidenc to tell her my secrets and when i did, after all the other things i had told her, she said she felt she wasnt qualified to help me and i needed help. which i did not think was true at the time... she told a school psychologist who told my parents and basically ruined my life at that point. it was a mess... and i trusted her. truly trusted her. i still do. we remain friends now, but its not the same... i wish i hadnt told.

Listen it is sooooo good that you feel you will be able to open up to someone.
The only thing is though that although you have your right to confidentiality, there are some circumstances where the teacher HAS to breach that right. Unfortuneatly, it is when they believe the person is at risk form someone, either themselves or others, or by someone.
My advice is to first establish the fact that you parents have knowledge, be it limited. And see if you can come to some arrangements. Despite this clause in the confidentiality you could get away with it.
But it is very good that you feel that you can open up. Try to sort this thing out while you have the motivation to do so.
Stay strong,Nicke.X

Hi
Of course it is really up to you in the end, but opening up to someone can be such a weight off your shoulders.
My mum thinks Im better now too, but thats only cuz she refuses to believe other wise... But as for not being able to afford to see a councellor, my families in debt and I do.... its free!
Either go see a doctor, Im not sure what happens with that... Ive never seen a doctor. But I dunno if your still at school, but if you are do you get these youth workers who come round with infomation and stuff? If so, talk to them, thats what I did. Then you get free and confidential councelling... its by the Benjamen something Foundation. But opening up can really help, unfortunatly Ive never been in a position to do so!

Hi Sam,
My old French teacher is one of the few people I trust in this world. When I was 14 she called me behind after class on numerous occasions because she was concerned about me. I would reassure her that I was fine, but she was persistant...even calling me at home one evening to see I was okay when I went home sick.
I told her that I would only tell her stuff if she promised she would keep it a secret. I started by telling her a few minor details, and I made her realise over time that I was very serious that she couldn't betray my trust. Eventually I had told her EVERYTHING, and she never ever told anyone else. She kept it secret on the premise that I continue to talk to her...and for 4 years we had regular chats. It's been another 4 years since I've left school and I still keep in contact with her, and still I can tell her anything.
I've seen a therapist for a year, and even that has never been effective as one conversation with my ex-teacher.Any teacher that makes the effort to check the wellbeing of an individual student, obviously cares about you and has your best interests in mind. It's kinda up to you to ensure that she doesn't freak out and refer you to someone else.
If you assure her that you are somewhat in control and just need her for support, they'll keep it a secret. If you outrightly said "I'm suicidal and I'm planning to kill myself" they have a legal obligation to tell someone.
You can work your way up to confiding more deeper things... she's a psych teacher so you'd be less at risk of her 'freaking out' and getting professional help.
Anyway, your gut feeling will tell you whether she is trust-worthy, and keep in mind that talking really DOES help.
I love my teacher soooooooo much...dunno what I would've done without her.I say that you start by telling her a few things...maybe bring up the problems and issues,rather than your SI reaction to them.
Later you can mention the cutting, once she knows you're not a nut-case.Anyway, hope that helps.
Best of luck.
Luv Maggie.-

thats so cool. very similar to my one teacher... she would call me all the time and was always leaving me notes in my box and stuff. i opened up to her slowly though. i told her about my father doing drugs and she didnt tell, i told her so much stuff. i told her i thought about suicide and she didnt tell. and then when i finally told her about cutting, i told her how i felt about it, that i didnt want to die or kill myself or anything and i tried to explain it and she listened and was really supportive, but told me she had to tell the school counselor - i pleaded with her not to, told her i could handle it and all, but she said i needed more help than she could give and that it was her responsibility to inform an authority figure since i was clearly a danger to myself and she would feel so bad if i didnt get help and even worse if something horrible, be it intentional or accidental, would happen. after initially telling the counsellor, she never breached the confidentiality i asked for ever again. she was great to talk to and great to have as a friend, but telling the counsellor ruined my life. the counsellor decided that it was her responsibility to tell my teachers, ALL of them, tell my parents, school officials etc... she also found me a psychiatrist which has helped a bit, but having my parents know is the absolute worst thing ever. i would endure every painful event in my life a thousand more times rather than have my parents know...

Posted by kae on Thu May 9 07:20:05 2002 (#2844)
The last two days have actually been good...I can't believe it!
First good news - I auditioned for our school show and yesterday I found out I got the main part...I didn't expect it at all. What wasn't so great about it was that my friend, who is basically THE actress of our school, was with me when we checked the cast list. She's pissed off about not getting the main part...
The second thing is that I re-sat my driving test today....and passed with 97%!! (to pass you have to get at least 80%) Its incredible...I'm so stoked. I know what I would have done if I'd failed again...my counsellor knew as well, and she spent most of the afternoon trying to find out how my test had gone. My goddam mother had rung her and told her exactly when it was...that really pissed me off.
Anyway I'm feeling 'okay' at the moment...but for every high there is a low....so I'm waiting for something to go wrong again...!

I was thinking about things like that the other day.
How many people look at things but don't actually see what is in front of them???
How many people listen to things but can't actually hear what is being said to them???
I guess we are all guilty of it at times, but i take the time occasionally to see and hear what is going on around me!!
Sorry went off on a tangent there!!!!

i have not cut for three weeks now but am really missing it its such a pain cause i seem to substitiute it for something else and that is my obsession with hanging and suicide and also starving myself to look thin and pretty but hey hopefully i can get over those things too but it will just take time i guess or hey i might have it for the rest of my life i really dont know

Hi
3weeks is great! theres always something in my life Im addicted to, I just fade in and out of cutting, eating disorders and hash... I blame it on my dad, he's got one hell of a addictive personality!
