self harm????
5 Answers
this is quite embarrassing but I need to know. When my mother died I began pushing sharp objects down into my fingernails - it seemed to distract from the emotional pain I was going through. However, that was 9 years ago and I still do it when stressed. Is this self-harm as talked about in mental health issues??

Hi again,
dont be embarrased to mention it to someone, i suffered with bullimia for a long time, it was my escape from the world. Its about the only thing i had control over at that time in my life. I wont lie it was the hardest thing to do to walk into the doctors and sat I MAKE MYSELF SICK! I thought they would call me a nutter or put me in a locked room. The only thing i can say is that after the initial embarrasment i found them very helpful and i must say havent done it for over 5 years! (round of appaluse please!!) try talking to someone dont sit in silence. You might find that some of the websites have chat pages and you might be able to share you views, feeling with other people. i hope what ever you decide it works out for you and that you get better.
Love Melons xx
