Self injury

[Writer101]

I am new here. Im a middle aged adult n I'm really struggling with thoughts of self injury. Self injury was the first thing I ever discovered that helped as a child in a dysfunctional home. I was 8yrs old. I feel so alone in this battle. I've been told it's teenage behavior. For me it's an addiction. The biggest problem about it is u can never take yourself away from yourself. I'm open to absolutely any suggestions at this point. Thank you

childhood! Many of us here struggle with those years. I also suggest the ptsd forum here too.

How do I find the ptsd forum?

Thank u again 😀

search ptsd at top left. Then click on communities. I am on several forums…some for physical health issues too. Support everywhere on health unlocked.

then each community you join will show up in “my hub”…
