 Hello Everyone!

My name is hannah and I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been visiting the group for a while now but was afraid and ashamed to say anything. However, speaking with Storm has given me the confidence to know that I will not judged or looked down upon. Anyway, I just carved some letters into my leg and am feeling pretty depressed so I thought this was as good a time as any to introduce myself.

 Hi Hannah and a huge welcome to you. We are not here to judge or look down on you we are here to help you out the best we can from our own personal experiences in life with the same problems. Please feel free to message me anytime you need to talk
Suzanne

As quietly as little rabbit's feet,
The morning glory sun arrives to greet
The Red Man as he worships in his way.
For this he asks the Spirit every day;
Before I judge my friend, O let me wear
His moccasins for two long weeks, and share
The path that he would take in wearing them;
Then, I shall understand and not condemn.



"If you have a secret to tell or a problem you can't figure out.... whisper it to the wind and allow the wind to take it far away from you and set your mind free."

"It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer."

Where is that cheerful girl I used to know? I look in the mirror and it's like I don't even recognize myself. I look so down and tired, I don't see that girl that was so happy so long ago. What happened to the days I would smile? Where are the days that my heart wouldn't break? Where have I gone? I see that girl when I look in the mirror, but she's too far gone. I can't bring her back to life she's feeling to much strife. I feel her inside me, but my depression won't let her come out. I think the old me is gone without doubt.

 No thanks needed Storm. I'm glad to see our group growing and people searching for support. If it weren't for this group i don't know what i might have done to myself since i found it

 Welcome Hannah! I too have carved letters into into my leg, and have certainly been depressed. Take care of yourself. <big hug>

 It is really interesting to hear a story in 2008, and think, "Oh wow, i did the same exact thing, in 1988, to myself." You are not alone Hannah, and neither am I. thank you for sharing.

 ok well its good to see here we have a friendly safe supportive place for ourselves..weather we cut , burn , anything we are all the same here.

i rarely share as i see it as im a support member here but if the last few days has taught me anything its that you all need to know im a person too.

I have slit my wrists a few times , i have o.d'd once , i have scars on my stoumich and legs forearms( my favoraite)

that was all before i was 18.

I also burn myself with smokes and lighters til they get so bad they pop... i have been a harmer for years and its only been over the past year that my timing has been so much more spaced out than it use to be. its taken lots of falling and getting back up and getting to know myself to be able to go months without it then one day something will happen and it happens again.

there is a few things i do know for sure...

*tempretures are changing all the time

*friends come and go all the time

*family always annoy you cause they know you best

*love hurts

and lastly it will never be quiet in my house

hehe we are all doing fine... with age can come wisdom...

BIG HUGS

Storm

i agree with flaco hearing others saying what they do or want to do really makes you see things in othe lights huh..

big hugs
Storm

 Storm i seem to be like you in many ways i'm one of the cutters that prefers the abdomen and legs. Easier to keep those parts covered most of the time.

 Welcome Hannah. Sorry I am a bit late as you posted just after my bedtime yesterday. I am a cutter as well as scratcher and bulimic just to name a few. This group has really helped me and I know you will get a lot out of it. As the others have stated we do not judge here and we can and have really come through for each other here. Please feel free to post or send messages. If you need me I am just a button click away and though it may take storm and I a few getting to you there are many others here with just as much knowledge and compassion. Hugs for joining and I hope we chat soon.
