self injury - getting worse?
August 4th 2007 23:53
I joined a livejournal community a few days ago that suprised me - and not in a good way. I used to cut myself a long time ago...before it was 'popular', so I do understand. This comunity is for posting pictures of cuts, burns, blood and scars; that sort of disturbes me.
Ten years ago self ijury was not talked about how it is now. Psych docs did not see it alot (at least in my home town). I am tryng to figure out if this place could have any sort of thereputic value, and i just can not see it.
I have not hurt myself in years...and these pictures were distressing (triggering) to me. I guess i could have lost my tolerance for it. It seems like harmers are getting younger and cutting/harming so much worse than it used to be. I am covered in noticable scars...but 3 of the docs i have had over the years said i was the 'worst' they had seen. I do not really like putting it in those terms.
I have no clue what I wrote this for. I am on my lunch at work and typing this on my phone...hence the lack of some punctuation. Sorry. I used to know what to say to reach people, to disuade people from this behavior. New harmers would understand what my scars meant...a lifetime of being noticed, having people know. I have to go.
