How do you hurt yourself? *triggers*
I don't know if we are suppose to use triggers on this board but I thought I would because I don't want to upset anyone.

I often have a strong desire to hurt myself. It started when I was a teen. I would often hear voices that would tell me to cut myself or burn myself. I didn't do these things though.

A friend and I would put a rubber band around our wrist and when we thought about food you snapped it as hard as you could.

Now, I smoke which I consider hurting myself. For awhile I was taking stacker 3 diet pills but I stopped them because they hurt my bladder. Right now I take laxatives and no doze. I take vailum and sleeping pills sometimes.

Hey Amanda,
Just wondering if you realise that this forum is for friends and family of ED,SI sufferers??
You are more then welcome to post on ANA friend and enemy about this stuff but just remember we are not a pro-ana, pro-ed or pro-SI site. We only allow positive and helpful posts on our board.

'When you are small there is no protection from shame, and now that you are older your attempts to keep the unsafe out cost you more then you can imagine. We need to breath in the direction of danger and to sing. We must not only be wounded - for surely all of us are that, but be willing to suffer the terrifying healing with its stations of humiliation, shame, endurance and grief'

Yeah, thanks Bec....

Amanda, this site is specifically for family and friends of people who have ED's etc, not for people who suffer themselves.

Perhaps another board may be able to offer you what you are looking for.

Cheers

Luv & Hugs
