Milly, they are only words. Words to try to describe how to help you. Can you stop for a second and really read what I want to say to you? Really, it made a big difference for me.

You are not your label you are you. When you hurt your body you are also doing your (SELF) harm. You very life core. If you can please try to take it on faith from those of us and our T's who have been around a while, Hurting yourself hurts you. stop because you know in the end it is a momentary release with so much pain after. You know it is not healthy for you. You want to struggle toward health and happiness. I hope this makes sense. I stopped, not because I wanted to or because the urge wasn't there but because I finally believed that it was hurting ALL of me. I believed that I had to change the behavior and the rest would follow. There are no miricles. There are also no cuts to hide from hubby and kids. I used to tell them the rabbits did it. They never saw the worst. Please think about it.

Self Harm harms the SELF.
