A number of years ago I had struggled with SI and along with Bipolar disorder and other things I was going thru. I came to realize that I have strength over my own urges and feelings.
I am not preaching, I am trying to be helpful here.
I did not cut like alot of young people do. I used to injure myself in other ways that I will not say here and give any ideas.
Suffice to say, I met a young lady who turned out to be the love of my life, Or so I thought for 2 years. We are still very close friends to this day.
If not for her, I wouldn't be here either. She saved my life after I attempted suicide on 2 different occasions.
She knew of my struggles and trials and was willing to be a part of my life when I needed someone the most.
She would sit and talk to me and get me to open up and take a look in the mirror and see whys and hows I never thought of in my hardest moments.
I have not done anything for quite sometime now, I have been able to control my urges.
I was abused as a kid, by people I should have been able to trust.
The abuse was not my fault, It was not something I should have been punished for.
I had lost respect for myself, I didn't care what happened.
I want you young people to know, Whatever is bothering and hurting you enough to hurt yourselves, It CAN be overcome.
I am very proud of each and every one of you when I see that you haven't hurt yourselves for days, weeks, and months.
You can do it, You can have power over these urges and stand up and say, I DID IT.
It is not an easy thing to do and be able to say this. It took me years of therapy and being willing to accept things I knew I had no control over.
If any of you feel like you want to hurt yourselves or give in, Go to a friend and say I need your support. Compassion and Understanding do wonders to help one see there is a road to healing.
I'd like to see you young people post in here and tell of your own little victories over hurting yourselves and gain your own strength over the urges.
