My Self-Harm

[Klavier]

I have been self-harming for about 4 years, and I was recently sent to a therapist who was more interested in claiming I had an eating disorder (which I definetly do not) than focusing on any of the problems I actually have.
This being in the UK, there's not much other support I can find.

I'm desperate to stop, but every while I go into a major relapse and can't stop. I have ugly scars which won't fade on my arms, legs, stomach and thighs and... I just don't know what to do. I feel like giving up.

aw, dont give up..i am sure there are people on here that might be able to refer you to a better therapist (because that one doesn't sound to good to me). Maybe talk to one of the moderators to this section of the site, and see if they know of any good therapists in the UK.

Just dont give up! I know you can get through this..If you ever want to talk, we are all here for you!

Yeah... Don't give up and keep trying to get help. If your therapist won't help you with your self harm it may be time to switch unless he starts seeing how serious your self harming is.

Hold on hun.
Theres no help out here ether but keep praying 2 God, keep your mind fix on Him.
you will get through this. Maybe not today or tomorow but God will provide a way.

Try & find a different theripest if you can.

This quote might make you feel a little bit better about the scars..
Remember there are positive things.
Scars show you have survived.
Scars make you unique.
Scars remind you of who you are and what made you.
Scars are only skin deep.
You are much deeper.
