First of all, we hope you're all settling back into work, school, college and life after the summer. As predicted, the message board is becoming much busier now the holidays are over and it's important we keep it fresh and up-to-date. We'll therefore be deleting all unused accounts at the end of the month, so if you haven't posted in a while and want to keep your account, please post a quick 'hello' so we know you're still around.
We'd also like to remind you of our rules regarding communications and the provision of personal details. For the safety of all our members we do not allow email addresses to be visible in profiles and we ask you not to share other personal details including IM chat names, phone numbers, personal photographs etc. We have our Table for Two for you to build your online friendships and many of you also have the privilege of Personal Messages. We're sure we don't need to explain the reasons behind these safety measures, but if you do have any questions please email Jules@firstsigns.org.uk or further information can be found here.
Lastly some good news – the next edition of our newly named Newsletter, SHiNES will be sent out towards the end of this month. We're grateful to have Tim on board helping us with our newsletter and it really is a fantastic issue, Autumnal and Beautiful, so if you aren't signed up to receive our newsletter, now would be a great time to do so by visiting

We wish you all a healthy, happy Autumn and look forward to seeing you around.

3 weeks agoHave you got a cure for very sore eyes when a person is working on a LCD computer desktop from 9am to 1pm and after a while it will be 9am to 5pm and my eyes are really killing me.any ideas?
5 weeks agoHey! I started Cutting when I was in the 8th grade which was in 2000 and the last time I cut was about 4 yrs ago. I use to cut cause of my dads drinking and just school stuff. There's somedays when I'm feeling down I think about cutting but I know if I do it would get me back in trouble with si. I was wondering Do You Actually Ever Cured of Self Injury.. I'm not sure what do yall think.
7 weeks agoi used to self harm when i was a teenager due to my dad being an alchoholic . he used to hit me ,my mam and mybrother.
7 weeks agonow im 38 i amost self harmed last nite ( my ex left me in debts im trying to manage but its hard when yr on yr own to try to deal with it)
i always there in the back of my mind to self harm , how does anyone deal with it in their older yrs ??
Firstly, we need to accept that we don't know everything that's going on in his life or in their relationship. Hopefully he'll want to talk to a friend about what's stressing him out. Maybe that'll be you? People who self-harm need help and support to rely on new ways of coping, but it can be a long journey so patience and understanding is needed. We have a page and a fact sheet for guys on our main website.

Ive been self harming for about a year now and a few days ago my best mate told my mum about it. She was really confused and upset at first and found this website. She said it helped her a lot so I went onto it aswell. This site has really helped me!
