I am 17, and have been doing self-injury for three and a half years. I have been in two psychiatric hospitals. It was because, not only my self-injury, but depression and very suicidal. Stuff like attempts and shit. But, ah, anyways- I can't stop. I enjoy it to much. It does a lot for me too. It makes me still know i am still alive. It's because, a lot of the time, i don't feel emotions, so it's like i am living in a dream world. it's odd. but, ah, yeah. i am in a DBT group. i am not going to let it help. i really don't want to be there, but am forced. i had to drop my good psychologist because of this program, she wasn't trained in DBT therapy, so that was reason enough for them to make me drop her. I don't intend on stopping soon. but, am willing to talk with anyone...
