I pull my hair from my scalp

I also scratch my scalp til it bleeds and have hit myself in the head. I used this method because it is well hidden by my hair.

I have always scratched my scalp usually till it bleeds and its especially bad when i'm super stressed out!

lithum has been used since the early 1800's and yes it was found in a healing river which helped people with everything from bowel problems to loss of energy and of coarse the medically imbalanced.

it is a very common medication these days for mental illness but it also has side effects as pixi stated.

weight gain.... liver damage... blood poisining (rare but also stated as a possible side effect) this is why those put on it have to endure a blood test every 3 months to ensure all is well with their organs.

people on lithium are also encouraged to up their daily salt intake via salt and pepper cooking with salt and of coarse patato chips if they seem lathargic.

hope i have helped also in this medication check pro and cons.

it is hard with kids and wanting to self harm i also have 2 kids and mine are 8 and 5 its a lot harder to hide certain lapses in judgement with them around or in our words but it all helps us stay stronger in the end.

BIG HUGS
