I stated self harming about 2 years ago. It was the only way that i could find that i could release the pain that i was feeling inside me (even though it was only for a short period of time). I've never had a problem with my self harming. Some people drink, some people have sex, some people take drugs, when i'm agrey i cut myself. About 7 weeks ago things got too much and my self harming wasn't enough to help me cope and i took an overdose. Since then i've had to see a psyciatrist and had to deal with my parents not being able to cope. Self harming is not something i want to stop even though i know it hurts the people around me as well of myself. It's part of who i am. I love all my friends and family but if i dont wan't to change then they have to learn that they can't pressure me into changing.
