Hi everyone,

I found this forum while browsing for SI sites and thought this would be a good place to find people who have the same concerns as I do. I hope no one minds if I jump right in by telling a little about myself. As you have probably already have guessed, I am a self-injurer (with OCD, ADD, and BPD), and have been for some time. Knives and razors are my tools of choice, and I tend to cut on places where no one can see (with the exception of my left arm, which is quite scarred and often a topic of awkward conversation with curious people). I'm trying to stop, of course, but the road seems so long and difficult. I like the blood, and I like the pain. *sigh* Perhaps ironically enough, I am a college student studying psychology, and I plan to become a therepist specializing in mental and emotional disorders. I've been checking out some of the discussions on the forum and I hope to be able to add my thoughts and views, too. I think it would be nice to support and be supported, you know? Recovery seems harder alone.

Well, that's my speech. I hope I can make some new friends here, and I wish everyone the best. Take care!
