• This world is a horrible place
  

  I can’t say anything helpful here, I can only tell you you are not alone in feeling this. Me and my closest friend have felt this way for years. We struggle to accept the reality of how horrible all this is sometimes and yet we know it to be typical. I hope something bright happens in your life to lighten your view, as I hope (hopelessly!) for my own some day.

• How do you view self harm?
  

  I hid all my self harming from all but closest friends. I listened over years as other people gave their opinions when it came up in general. Obviously, they would never have said much honestly around me if they had known I had done it. I remember hearing them speak about how it is stupid and they couldn’t understand it. It is just a nutter who would do it or someone looking for attention. I remembered then back to before I was a cutter and I guess I didn’t understand it either, though I never quite held their opinions on it as attention-seeking or lunacy. I find it something that happens simply when we can’t deal with our lives in another way. At least it is how it was for me. I no longer cut but still view it the same way and now I challenge any opinion I hear which seems quite ignorant. Especially because there might be another person listening who is in the same situation I was in when I did it and heard people speak of it. I don’t want them to feel even lower as I did on hearing harsh words. In another way - it kept me in touch with reality of it because it was easy to be so consumed by it that I had to be reminded about how this is not a part of everyones lives - this was not the best way to deal with problems and therefor not the only one. You should try to get help in stopping it.

• Unstable?
  

  No psychiatrist or anything. My doc offered me therapy but I said no. This was before the prozac, when people made me nervous.
  
  fcell04, I guess you’re right. I want an easy way to get out of it and thought the prozac would have done it, but 6 months into treatment and I’m depressed as ever I reckon.
  
  Well, thank you for the advice. I should have an appointment soon, and will tell my doctor I’m reconsidering therapy.
  
  I guess I wanted to know if anybody thought it sounded like my uncle’s schizophrenia had passed down the line. My mum is always comparing me to him.
  
  Therapy might just be the best solution, thanks.

• how do i hide my cuts in pe?
  

  I used to have the same problem - the cover up. You know..this problem lasted years later in jobs too. I had learnt to cut my legs instead. This was easier to hide. But my point to you isn’t to give you the lecture you don’t want to hear - I just wanna share with you that years on, I still have those scars and I’m still sensitive about showing my arms. If you think of yourself as having a future (as I WISH I had), imagine please how you would feel having to deal with your cover-up problem in some years time. Say in a job. I wish someone had painted this picture to me vividly enough. The arm band thing may help for P.E (although my friend at the time employed this technique and people guessed it of her in gossip) - but a future situation may not allow for you to cover it with one of those. Please listen to thehated99999 - because it can be true that it becomes more frequent if it is easier to hide.
