hi chi, i just became a member here too. these people are AWESOME! you've found a good place to vent, get advice, talk about music, learn about people's phobias, find out what buttspeak is, infestations of ants, etc. I like the general board the best, because people talk about problems but also about anything and everything. it can be a distraction as well as support.

i used to cut, not a lot, but i was going through hard times and it felt good to hurt myself. i was too afraid anyone would notice though so i did it were my clothes would cover or i'd use a jagged rock so it'd look like a scrape. i'd just end up feeling worse because i added to my hurt. the last time i did it was probably a year ago. i don't have the urge to cut anymore, sometimes i just pull my hair or dig my fingernail into my gums.....why we want to do it is beyond me. i've never suffered from an eating disorder, but i do have wieght issues. i may not be able to completely relate, but i'm here to talk to!

just reiterating a point, this place is AWESOME! welcome and keep on postin'!
