I just wanted to say that I feel you. I feel exactly the same. Even if someone appreciated me for something I feel as if that was my duty and I didn't deserve that praise. So I should punish myself for taking something more than what I deserve. Cutting makes me feel as if I am still living. I sometimes cut to feel something other than this numbness and sometimes I cut to not feel anything at all- I crave that numbness. The feeling I get when I cut is indescribable, it cannot be expressed only felt. I must not be making any sense but does anyone else feel this way?

you are probably right but its hardly suprising given the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding it .i went to my gp surgery for dressing s once never again the nurses have no training at all ! x

One of the good things about being a bear is... no doctors

It's pretty sad how there is still so much stigma, lack of training, lack of care, misinformation, misrepresentation, misunderstanding ...
