"I just want to say that I know this is tough. But I also know that we are all strong enough to conquer it. Love yourself, don't hurt yourself."-- A current Self Injurer.

"We are some of the strongest people alive. Take that strength and instead of hurting yourself for whatever reason channel it to create something." -A former Self Injurer

"I've been Self harming since I was old enough to know that internal pain hurt. I needed a way to release that inner pain and I found it in SI. When I was 13, I started cutting and burning and doing other forms of SI but because my family and most of my friends and peers didn't understand why I do what I do, they put me in therapy to get it to stop. But because I didn't want to stop, I learned to hide it better. It now appears that I'm "better" but when deep down I haven't changed at all. I just put on a happy face. Today, I still struggle with SI because of the internal pain I feel because of the external people that surround me everyday." --Current Self Injurer
