Authors Note
This site was created for 2 main purposes. One, to increase awareness about the hidden disease: self injury. Cutting, burning and other forms, are often viewed as insane measures. A SIer only does these things because we're numb. We can't feel anything, so we have to create pain to be brought back to reality. A Self Injurer also does these things because we're so angry at ourselves. Thoughts of being fat, stupid, ugly, and pretty much everything else that we've been told, become "true" to us after a while. We think that if we're always being told these things, it must be true, otherwise, why would people say these things. So we punish ourselves. Don't tell us to just stop, because it's hard. Cutting it like a drug, an addiction that we can't really control. I started because I had no control in my life, but after awhile I realise cutting controled me. Thousands cut everyday, and I can guarentee you that at least three people you know have cut, or still do. Cutters do not cut to die. If you only one thing on the site this is the most important. Most do not want to die, and self injury is only a way to stay alive.
The second reason it was created was for other self injurers to reach out and realise that they're not alone. This may seem like a cliche, but I always felt alone. Some don't even realise that they're self injurers and it's a big help to find sites that understand you, and you're addiction. But, do not use the internet as your only person to talk to. If you  cut, you need to see a professional. I've been in therapy for a couple of months now, and it's helped me greatly. Call your local mental health team or your doctor. It's important you talk to someone about it, otherwise it will only get worse.
I am not liable for any triggering effects this site may cause, there is a warning at the home page. If you do need someone to talk to, just as a friend, leave you're email address and your name in my guest book and I'll email you ASAP.
Thank you for coming to my site.
