Back in 2002/2003 I wrote the Selfharmjet website. However, as ever, time moves on. The Selfharmjet website reflected how I was thinking and feeling at that particular time and as time has moved on so have I.

That is not to say I am cured, as I don't believe that there ever is a cure for self harm, I still feel as if I want to do it almost every day, what has changed maybe is better coping mechanisms. I still self harm, but I do it in far less destructive ways than cutting myself and with less regularity.

What has also changed is my self image. I no longer want to completely want to destroy myself. I am no longer just a sack of bones dragging myself through life.

This is why I have rebuilt the website in order to reflect this change. I think the old Selfharmjet site was very depressing reflecting the way I was at that time and if it depressed me, I hate to think what it did to people reading it!

What do I want this site to achieve? Well, for me personally it is a time and space for me to express how I think and feel. For people who self harm I want then to believe that there is some light at the end of the tunnel. For other people I hope it educates them to the fact that there are some people who don't think and feel in the same way that you do. I want them to understand the struggle.

P.S. I know the road in the picture is not very twisted, perhaps though that is what we are all trying to achieve ;-)
