My prized possesion the one thing I know was beautiful and nice .. my hair, I chopped between 6-10 inches off it last night.. WHY DO I DO THAT? I dont think its considered SI but damit it was so long and curly down past the middle of my back, Im 5`10, so it was so pretty and now its up to my shoulders,
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Perhaps you are over focusing much on too
many NICENESSES too much.
I am verrrrrrry afraid of "NICE".It opens doors for
adept cult leaders for example.

So sorry you're going through a tough time, irish. When you typed that out, it was like looking in a mirror at myself. I too went from cutting/burning to getting tattoos and piercings (6 tattoos within 6 months and tongue and eyebrow piercing)... After I got all that done, I didn't have much money to get anything else done, so I figured why not cut my hair. My hair was past my shoulders and now it's a about up to my neck. I HATE it and wish I could go back to having my long beautiful hair. But I promise you, it'll grow back. May not grow back as fast as you'd want it to, but it'll grow. ((((((((((irish)))))))))) Hope things start looking up for you soon. I'd suggest reading some of the threads in this area about reasons not to SI and other techniques to use other than SIing. Wish you the best!

Oh, I imagine it's tough raising two boys! lol I have many scars from my self inflicted wounds myself. Mostly on the insides of my arms and on my ankles, but have more all around on my body. When you feel like cutting, try looking at your scars and remember how even though it helped for a short time to ease the emotional pain, it didn't make it go away forever. Remember that by facing our problems head on as they come up, we are more likely to get rid of the problem. By holding our problems in and using cutting/burning to escape from the problems, we are only increasing the problems. Please think about it... Hope things start looking up for you soon.

Sounds like something I would do. I've done things to hurt myself emotionally, particularly when trying not to cut. The emotional stuff hurts more.

((((hugs))))
