I wish i had the courage to say those words.

Thankyou. Your words take lead weight off my shoulders.I support everything you say 100%. Good luck quitting.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story. It was unimaginably moving to read. I wish you luck in quitting, and hope that you soon find your reason to quit.

I have been reading all nite at this site and I felt really moved to write to you and tell you that you are right that it is possible to stop I si for about 6 years but then I found someone who understood me who looked at me like a person not some sort of monster I have been "clean" for a little over two years some days are harder than others and I don't know if the feeling ever goes away but I do know that you will beat this urge that constantly consumes you! I dont know you but I love you because you are strong and very brave

hello...i know exactly how you feel.I bang my head very day to hurt myself.I punish myself for having been greedy and eating too much.Recently i developed acne although am no longer quite young and it has turned out severe,so severe that my doctor said there was no hope for the scars.So now in addition of punishing myself for being greedy and eating, I also punish myself for being ugly and awful.I have stopped going out and have not met any friend or family for two months now.I feel safe at home away from those hurtful comments.Yet I still need to self harm..to punish myself.It is the only relief I have.I have been diagnosed with severe migraines a few weeks ago and I realise it is because of my incessant head banging.I could not explain the numerous bumps on my head to the neurologist yet I was dying to tell someone..for someone to come and save me.

wow....explains me completly. i had an ed and everyone started ignoring me like it wasnt true and then i realized that nothing was going right.....thank you.....
