This
is a page dedicated to Self Injury, specifically cutting. This is a companion
site to the support group, Second
Chances and I maintain both pages jointly. This site deals with in
the information side of things and Second
Chances provides the support. At this site, I hope to inform those
that have never heard of self injury, family members and those who are currently
or formerly someone who self injurers. I did use self injury as a coping mechanism
and since then have decided that I was given this burden so that I may help
others. After I realized exactly what I was doing to myself, self injury, I
made sure I found out as much as possible about it. I felt that knowledge could
be power and to some extent it has been. After looking after web page after
web page, I felt many of them were missing an important component: they needed
to be personal. I felt like I was just looking up encyclopedia’s, that
there was no one behind the websites. So it has been my goal to make sure people
know that there is more than just words on a page, but a person. A real person
that has suffered from and beaten this. So I hope you guys come away with that
feeling. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and I hope
my site can help you in some way.
Finally,
the most important fact that I shall impart onto
you is that there is a way to beat it.
