I'm new to the website

[EliDavis]

If been a self-injurer for as long as I can remember in some way. It has ranged from cutting, burning, to small things like hitting things until I nearly breack my hand. When i first began cutting I had never heard of anybody purposely harming themselves. The self injury did lead to drug and alcohol abuse. It wasn't until I grew older that I decided to look into it and began to research the condition. I haven't been able to come out and tell any of my friends or family about the situation, and I came across this websit by chance. I'm not sure exactly what to say, but maybe this will help for starters. Thanks, Eli
