What to Post In This Forum + Meet the Mods Posted: 08-09-07 07:27am
Hello, I am Diane i am 22 years old and
have a 2 yr old and 7 mth old. I am a
moderator on this particular forum. I
was/am a cutter, i started back in
2002-2003. I cant say that i am cured from
it or anything but I am on antidepressants
and havent gotten intoa situation where i
felt the need to cut. So if you ever want
to talk feel free to PM me or starta
post. PM's are a lil more private if you
prefer not to have everyone reading
something.
The best advice i can give you guys is to
try and seek help through counseling and
therapy.
If you feel a post in this forum is
inappropriate click the report button on
that particular topic so it can be handled
Thanks
Diane

Hello. I'm Sarah, I'm 20 years old, and
I'm a mod on this forum as well. I
started cutting myself when I was 13 years
old. Sometimes it was because of extreme
depression, and other times it was because
I was so addicted and used to doing it
that I just felt like I had to. I haven't
cut myself in over a year now, but I still
feel the urge and probably always will.
It is hard, but it is for the better. I
don't feel like I have to be cautious
anymore and hide my wounds and worry about
what others might think (except for the
scars). If anyone needs help with
stopping, I'd definitely recommend talking
to someone you care about. I'm here for
anyone who wants to talk at all about
getting help, or even just about the
reasons why you feel the urge to do it.
Talking to people can help a lot. Feel
free to PM me any time!
Sarah

I'm new here, but I was searching for a
forum where people could talk about this
issue openly. I've looked a long time for
something like this. I have NO ONE to
talk to. I'd love to be able to have
someone that I do not know in person to
communicate with when I'm not feeling so
good. Thanks to anyone who reads this or
cares.
