Does anybody know any good forum/chatroom where people who self-harm can talk about how they do it and u are aloud to give people tips etc..

i dont want to be giving people tips but i just want to be on a forum where everyone isnt costantly sayin go talk to a doctor. i know people say it because there lookin out for you but not everyone wants to quit self-harming.

i do but i dont and i dont want to see.. " go tell your parents " everywhere i look

this section of this forum has some pretty good tips for cutting and how to stop. it also has a chatroom where you can go and talk to other members on here but its not only talk about self harm.

Hollie, you know, what you need isn't to be with other like minded people, that very often tends to reinforce the behavior. What needs to happen is some support and a little gentle nudge to tell soemone and get help. I know that's exactly what you don't want to hear, but it's really the solution here. Talking with other cutters about cutting only delays getting the help to stop the behavior, which really is the goal here.

Maybe in addition to looking for that group, you could also talk with us about your reluctance to tell and get help so we can help you get to the people who can treat this problem.

Self-harming is something you want to escape, not encourage or be encouraged by others to do it.

It's like anorexics and bulimics, there are so many sites where they're all giving eachother advice on how to cover up their eating disorders instead of getting treatment.
This is the entirely wrong thing to do and most of these people find that out the hard way.

Besides, there are many of us struggling with self-harm on this forum (including myself), and we are constantly supporting eachother and helping one another and we are trying to STOP self-harming because it's a horrible hell-hole we've got ourselves into, and if we don't get the help we need (maybe even from doctors) it could only get worse and worse as days go on.

If someone doesn't want to quit self-harming, they really should get help.
Like a psychologist, or something, or whatever it's called.

We do allow these type of questions as long as people don't do adverts and literally advertise.

One that I know is "RecoverYourLife.com" its a good site with intelligent and a lot of good information even if you don't join.
