Open Self-Injury

I started self harming about 6 years ago. It makes all my anger sweep away but the shame I feel is getting me down. I am desperatly fighting the urge, and shamefully for me I consistentaly fail.

Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

I started smoking at 12, cos I was a complete idiot and I thought it made me look cool, there was a load of shit going on in my life and it seemed to chill me out - this is the problem now, if im stressed all I need is a ciggie and then I calm down. But I know its just a timebomb on my health and I need to kick it in.

Alli Too Soon to Tell

I have put too soon to tell cos I gave up on this. I tried xenical and it stops your body absorbing the fat from your food. I ate a low fat diet and everything but I would have moments where oil would leak form my behind so bad was one attack after I was naughty and ate some crisps that I had to give up.
