Who Am I Really?

Overwhelming emotions, shame, low self-esteem, physical or sexual abuse, and suppressed anger are just a few of the reasons for self-injurious behavior.
Those who self-injure often feel they are living behind a mask, and that no one knows who they really are. Numbness or a sense of being detached from your surroundings is often experienced.
There is no magic wand or quick fix in stopping self-injury. Sometimes you many even think of cutting as your “best friend.” You begin to turn to self-injury more and more, you may feel trapped, confused, empty and hopeless but, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE…there is a way out.
