Title: Thoughts of self harming
Post by: Ezel on February 28, 2011, 09:03:48 AM
Firstly I want to make it clear that I am not going to follow through with this,

I do have a history of self harming and would use knives or scissors to cut myself as it was the only way I knew how to let pain out.  As I wouldn't/couldn't talk about how I was feeling the few people who knew about it (family members) thought I was attention seeking.  Lately my dh and I have had a bad time off it emotionally due to work related issues - he suffers with depression as well.  So far I have had the strength not to do anything plus my hubby has been very supportive as well but getting this down in black and white is my next step in not doing anything.

Hi Ezel, well done as you say the getting things down on text is a big thing.  I second Bel in thanking you for running this forum, you do such a good job.  The weather is a great mood booster, I went out for a walk on my own yesterday.  You and your hubby take care.
