danielle do you still think about your self harm?
no, that part of my life is over.
The deeper you cut, it only gets worse
"In the U.S., it's estimated that one in every 200 girls between 13 and 19 years old, or one-half of one percent, cut themselves regularly."
hi! This blog is a self harm awareness blog. For anyone who has struggled with the battle of self harm, or knows people who have suffered, we are in this together. Self injury isn't a joke, and unless you have gone through it you will never know the impact it has/has had on your life.
This blog is a place for you to share your story, get advice from people who can relate to you, or just talk about your experience.
Hello! I'm Alexa and I'm fifteen years old. I've struggled with self-injury for nearly a year now, which started shortly after the death of one of my friend's in October. My parents' never found out about my cutting - my mom had always suspected it, but I always denied it. Even with the help of friends whom were going through the same thing, i'm more than proud to say that I've beaten it on my own. I stopped mainly because I didn't want to deal with hiding new scars in the summer. The thing that scares me most is that once the fall comes around, I'll start again and will head back down that dark, terrible road. I'm trying my hardest to fight off these urges, which kill me everyday.

Hello :) i'm danielle, i'm 16years old and i struggled with self injury for alittle ove a year. Last october it got really bad once one of my close friends committed suicide, everything went downhill from there. Between relationship problems, self esteem issues, and being treated badly by friends, i had no other way to escape my pain other than cutting. When my parents found out it changed my outlook on everything. Seeing my mom cry worrying about what I was doing killed me. I couldn't bear to keep hurting my bestfriend and my family, so i forced myself to stop. It's easier to not do it now because it's summer,but i'm trying my best to stay free from it once school starts up again. I'm always looking to help, my personal:

do you still get urges to self harm? how do you fight them :/
im so far past it it honestly doesn’t effect me anymore. i realized it was stupid so i wouldnt ever go back to it
Hey, so i have this pool party coming up next week, and it isn't really something i can get out of. But i am absolutely teriffied someone will see the cuts and scars all over my hips and upper thighs. What can i do?
cover up, scar remover cream? maderma works well
when was the last time you guys self harmed? i find it so hard to stop. i stopped for 5 months last year and i've been doing it for another year since :/
I haven’t for nearly a year now, it’s going on a year - I know that. You can do it, trust me you can. It’s difficult to stop, I know that. But what worked best for me was listening to music and getting myself away from anything sharp. Remove all sharp objects from wherever you would normally self-harm, and the temptation won’t be there. And now, I can honestly say it doesn’t even cross my mind to do it anymore, and it feels great. And I know you’ll be able to feel that one day too. I promise.
I am almost 3 weeks self harm free.
I have never been more proud of myself.
Stay strong, all of you. You are all beautiful, amazing and strong people. I believe that <3
