Self harming-illness

Hi,

Mods please keep me anon as loads of people know me n here.

Basically I used to self hard a lot in the past but haven’t for at least a year now. Would like to know what side affects this could possibly have? Would I have any disease or illness as a result of harming myself, what kind of check up should I have done? I want to know that I m ok and not suffering from anything for my own peace of mind. Please help, any suggestions will be great.

Thanks.
Only thing I can think of that might happen (I assume by self-harm you mean cut with a knife or razor etc?) is tetanus, but after a year I think if there was anything physical to worry about you would have noticed by now. I'm obv no doctor though. If you feel ill, get it checked out!

It's great that this past year has been better, hope it all continues to go well for you :smile:
i tried to OD twice this year and through a routine-medical found i didn't have any liver etc damage which was a bit of a relief, not sure if a third attempt isn't on the cards right now.

Annon 2, I'm sure there is a reason as to why you feel like this; you honestly need to speak to someone.....

:eek: I can't even read that, sorry.
And you're not really going to end up with an 'illness' if you're cutting. Though if you are cutting it's more than likely because you have some kind of mental disorder.
