I'm new to this site, & your post caught my attention. I'm in outpatient therapy for anorexia, OCD, I have anxiety & low self esteem, & have done self harm. I really don't see what harm there is. I think, "I c** myself, clean it, & put a band-aid on. There's nothing wrong with that!" Now, I certainly wouldn't let someone else I know hurt him/herself! What are some coping skills you can use? My T knows I've hurt myself before, & she & I talked about some things I can do to help, including doing something to help me cope with my ED & OCD.

Please don't hurt yourself! You think you'll feel better, but you really won't. I've felt the same way after I hurt myself.
