Tomorrow, 1st March, is Self Injury Awareness Day.
There’ll likely be another blog post tomorrow on the subject, but in the meantime I wanted to share this fantastic little video with you. It has been made by a member of the mental health online community and is ‘This is what I want you to know about self injury’.
Well worth a watch!

This is just beautiful & inspiring
This is what I want you know about my self-harm. I’m not young, I’m not female. I discovered the ‘joys’ of self-harm before I discovered ‘Self-Harm’. I cut or scratch myself because sometimes it is the only way I can feel better, not to get sympathy or attention.
I don’t know how to stop. To be totally honest, I don’t know if I want to stop. I know what to do id I’m feeling really bad, but I’m not sure what to do if I couldn’t do that.
Thanks so much for sharing.
It is particularly good to hear a male’s perspective. That was one of the things I didn’t like about the video – that it was all females.
I am not criticising the video though – I know that the person who put it together will have asked for people to share, and it’s not her fault that it was all females who responded. It was just that I did think about the message it gave out.
So I’m really grateful to you for sharing – thank you
