I want to officially welcome you. I know you have posted quite a few times but I think it is important to say "Welcome to our little home. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable."

I can relate to the whole not quite understanding why you are cutting when on the outside everything seems to be fine. I have been working hard on increasing my own self worth. I have come a long way but the old programming that taught me I am not worth anything keeps coming up and biting me on the backside. Things are getting better though. Lots better.

Before I go, I want to let you know that you are important here. Each person who shares her or his difficulty with self injury adds to all of our understanding of what is driving us to continue this...activity. You have helped us now let us help you.
