Ann a self harmer is not a nasty person, nor are they a reflection on you |

I've done it in the past, usually when very agitated or in emotional pain. |

Different people find different ways to release emotional pain. |

he's a lovely person, gentle and kind but we had no idea at the time why he was doing it - now we know and after over thirty years it is being dealt with - we are awaiting a decision from the CPS - I'll leave it to your imagination as to why he was doing it |

Someone very close to me has a history of self harming, from a very young age. |

and following on from my son's trauma, I also self-harmed in that I took a massive overdose ending up in a psychiatric ward for over two weeks - ironic really as I worked in a psychiatric hospital |

I have to admit I've always refused to take MAOIs, because whilst I haven't been tempted to overdose for a long time , if I took MAOIs, I think I would be more vulnerable to self harm by eating cheese or marmite. |

It's been blamed on the University axing the post of the Clinician concerned, but the NHS refused to take up the slack. |

Thank you - if they turn me down , I know I'll find it very hard to fight my corner and psych myself up to challenge the decision, so it would help to know you are out there in my corner. |
