Self-harm
Hope never abandons you. You abandon it.

~George Weinberg




Okay guys and dolls. I created this site a few years ago in the days when the word "html" were a bleary mass of confusing symbols and letters to me, angelfire was the best website on earth and the words "private hosting" never passed my eyes .

I also created it in the days when geocities would let me hotlink images and I had some pictures to go with the netring. They have now since gone and all that is left is a text code. If you'd like to make your own images, go ahead.

Today I've logged back on to it and read through the past months entries in the guestbook and nearly cried. I'm sorry that I can't update this site anymore aside from the netring... it's not me anymore. I'm 19 now; not 16. I have a different life and different views. If anyone does want to get in contact with me, please do. My email address is now shredded_rose@hotmail.com . I hope you enjoy looking around my little site. Who knows. Maybe one day, there will be more.

Self-harm. The act of purposefully inflicting pain upon oneself when experiencing intense emotional suffering. Cutting, burning, tearing out your hair all constitute to the two alien-like words.

I wrote this site just for you My purpose being to inform and provide insight - not boast or purposefully disgust. Before I became a self harmer back in April '98, if I had found a site like this, I would probably be shocked - or maybe even disgusted. Well, my eyes were opened the very 1st time I got the urge to cut. It is impossible to completely understand Self Injury when you haven't been there. But by talking and reading...you learn and accept.

This is meant to be a safe, personal site and not intended to intimidate you. Make sure you feel safe before reading its content.


Although Self Injury effects both sexes, it is more commonly observed in female cases. It is for this reason that I refer to Self Harmers as "She" or "Her".

Temporarily down.. blame angelfire for being mean and not letting other sites use their images..grr...






Oh yeah, and the content on these pages is written from the heart. If you have a problem with it ( and there have been "problems"), or you would just like to comment, then feel free to . If you can't look at these pages with an open mind or heart, then I feel sorry for you. Please go away now... we don't want you here.

Some people have told me that reading my pages has been their first brush with Self Harm. This is shocking. We really have to make the world more aware of the pain and trauma of SI so that more people can "come out" and recieve the help they deserve.
Has this site introduced you to some the mysteries of Self Injury?
