For 15-16 years I self mutilitated in different ways and forms, it was taboo then, and very little help was available, hence the approach to it was harsh, incorrect and very much TABOO!! and this is part of the big reason I have chosen to start this blog. There are so many young woman ( AND men) who self mutilate and are unable to talk to anyone about it...................if you know anyone who self harms / mutiliates or perhaps YOU do or USED to many years ago,contact me , Id love to hear from you!........ can do so via email which is feelgoodfortoday@gmail.com

Thank you.
What is important for teenagers and their loved ones to know right now whom are possibly caught up in the spiral of self mutilation (SM) is that , there is light at the end of the tunnel. if YOU harm yourself, the first step you need to take is to talk to someone you can trust to about what you are doing and if you can why. This will be very difficult for you as one of the reasons you started to self harm was due to fact that you are not able to express your emotions very easily. I totally get that, and I understand you......REMEMBER I was where you are now, or your loved one, and if YOU are the person that is approached by the person who is self harming, I beg of you to LISTEN BEFORE A HARSH QUICK RESPONSE, DO NOT tell the person TO STOP THIS NONSENSE IMMEDIATELY......... They are entrusting YOU with this massive secret, often, one of the most shameful steps to recovery, barring peoople looking at your scars!!
