this isn't cool, this doesn't make me proud (i'm a thirty-six year-old mother, not a goth teenager) - it's one of the symptoms of my illness. how does one explain to people that hurting one's self brings relief? it's stupid. it doesn't make any sense. the therapy and the drugs are helping, but it's a very, very long road and i'm only just beginning. i was born super-sensitive, and then i was abused and damaged. those are not excuses, they are explanations.... ...and starting-points.

Stick with it, life can get better, and my
experience is that better is better.

Thanks, the other bruce - I didn't post this
in order to wallow in self pity or any of
that stuff, and I don't suffer from
depression - I do have hope. I suppose I've
posted it more as a marker or a message that
I'm better than this, and that anyone else
going through this also deserves to treat
themselves better. It's hard to think of that
in the moment, but I know that with
mindfulness and lots of practice it can be
done. :-)

What's most important, I've found, is having
a friend who'll understand.

it gets easier, I promise. I don't know yet
if it goes away, and there are always hard
days, but it gets easier.

I like the title. Wish I'd thought of that
earlier though, heh. Not trying it that is. I
think you are brave to put this up. I take
pics of my self injury as a therapeutic thing
for myself, but I'm too... afraid? ashamed?
... to something, to show any one. It might
be healing if I did though.

I suffer from the same syndrome, but I
stopped the therapy last year! I did not feel
better. I understand how you feel.

*note : i've added this to the
ie2007_boundaries group not because i think
it's worthy or because i wish to promote
self-harm, but because i was twice invited,
for which i am grateful. grazie ! <3

It isn't stupid, and for every 5 people who
don't understand, there is one that does! I
am one of the 1's! Be strong

The important thing is to know that there are
people who have been and still in the same
situation and you're not alone.
